I stayed for one day with my daughter we were impressed with room it was a very nice room with a terrace . The location was great , it was only about 20 mins by bus from Rye station to the Camber sand beach. The breakfast was amazing it was intercontenent, the gay who served us was so polite and helpful and the rest of staff too. Will be nice if they change the hotel carpet otherwise its highly recommended.

We love coming here, Alex as always makes us really welcome and it is always a pleasure seeing him. The french guy at breakfast too is always friendly and the food i find is always good and cooked really well and the buffet is enough for our needs.

We arrived on bicycles to a very warm welcome. The staff member showed us to a locked room where our bikes would be stored safely overnight. Our room, a small double was cosy but very comfortable. The hotel is in the centre of Rye with easy access to many pubs, and restaurants, we visited two micro brewery pubs - Waterworks, and Garage Culture Brewing Co. There was a great selection of breakfast items including cooked options. Thank you, we look forward to a return visit.

Sehr schöne Atmosphäre. Allerdings sieht man dem Hotel auch den nahenden Zahn der Zeit an.

Breakfast was nice,but if you have a later sitting. You won't get as much choice. Not much fruit and no croissants. They did not replenish for later breakfasts. But very nice full English.

Had a great stay at the lookout. Some of the decor is a bit dated in places. But when it was done was done to a very high standard so has worn well. The hotel has benefit of parking which is charged at £10 a day. This compares well to costs of public car parks in Rye. Definitely worth it for the convenience. Room was large and airy and well cleaned. Will be bsck

Don’t be put off by the poor condition of the exterior of the hotel - common areas and bedrooms recently refurbished. Excellent value and breakfast is cooked to order.
