Lovely property .. great location in heart of Rye. We stayed in a cosy room .. it was fab, beautiful decor and great facilities. Great breakfast nice bar. Staff were great but in particular a great duo on reception ( didn’t get names) but a blonde lady so accommodating allowing us to leave bags before checking in, so we could explore Rye and an Australian male that impressed us in returning a missed phone call before arriving and ensuring we had a pleasant stay. Thank you both credit to the George.

Beautifully decorated, property has character and very friendly staff. Great views from the room. Nice lobby and restaurant. Room was rather warm and couldn’t sleep or rest well unfortunately as it was warm and the mattress too soft. Windows had to be kept open with flies coming in. For the rate it was a little disappointing to be placed on the top floor far end with a small infant but appreciated the views. Cots are being charged extra but was rather small. Restaurant staff were amazing and food was okay. Parking was a short walk away. Overall good.

Excellent Central Location in Lovely Rye

Great hotel with first class rooms. Breakfast good. Staff were friendly and helpful. Location for exploring Rye was perfect. No car park but cattle market car park 5 minutes walk and only £3 per day. Winchelsea and the marshes are lovely walking.

A lovely hotel in a lovely little town. It's centrally situated, so it's very easy to reach shops, restaurants, bars, buses, the railway station and the Thursday morning market. We booked a "cosy" room, but on arrival were lucky enough to be upgraded to a "classic". It was spacious, attractive, comfortable and spotlessly clean. There was a bathtub in the bedroom, which personally I dislike (though I know other hotels have similar arrangements). That said, the bathroom included a good-sized walk-in shower, which was perfect. The only other (minor) quibble concerned the carpet on the hotel's corridor and stairs. It has the type of geometric, Escher-type pattern that makes it hard for oldies such as my partner and I to judge the depth of stairs when walking down. (Younger people won't have a clue what I'm talking about.) Our room overlooked the courtyard, where people were sitting out, but it wasn't noisy at all. Breakfast was freshly cooked, tasty and plentiful. All the staff we met were very pleasant and helpful. We'd like to give a special mention to the lovely Madison at reception, who went out of her way for us.

What a treasure Rye has with The George. Extremely well located, about a 10 minute walk (albeit some uphill) from the station parking, a lovely old building that's in good condition. We went at low season so Rye was quiet (great for us, albeit some businesses were closed for staff vacations...not a problem), and very walkable. We enjoyed several small pubs which felt very cosy and welcoming in the cooler nights. Strongly recommended.

Old and interesting property with lots of nooks and crannies, very well decorated and appointed. Central location. V friendly staff. Super food. Only small negative is having to park some streets away but that's because it's in the middle of a very beautiful old town with narrow streets.

I had been really looking forward to our stay at The George in Rye and it was a good experience, although not fabulous in anyway, and incredibly over priced. I had thought for the Money there would be fabulous service, wonderful amenities, delicious breakfast etc and a luxe feel in all the communal areas. Everything was fine to good. There were two weddings when we Stayed which made the whole place noisy and chaotic - not as relaxing & romantic as we had hoped! Therefore we spent all of our spare time out of the hotel and did not even eat there. The room was lovely but I expected there to be more in terms of elegant touches and attention to detail. We paid over £300/ night for The George, which is incredibly expensive but I thought we would be getting our monies worth. My partner and I discussed and we felt that £200/ night for the luxe room and breakfast would have been more appropriate.
