The Lookout Rye

Pretty hotel in a great location. The hotel is a few minutes and just a short walk from restaurants and pubs on the High Street. Rye is quite a compact town. Our room overlooked the car park at the back of the hotel. Not the best view but the room (deluxe double) was spacious. Breakfast was cooked to order and they were able to accommodate a coeliac diet (gluten free options). I would however recommend they keep a separate toaster at the back for gluten free bread only. They were able to provide gf bread for me but couldn’t toast it.

This hotel is really good. Nice view and thx for the updated.

Great place !

Lovely view from our room looking out towards the river and the sea in the distance. The room was cosy, clean and comfortable and in the perfect location for walking around Rye. Friendly staff and a very good breakfast choice. Will definitely stay again.

We had a deluxe room (twin) and it was recently redecorated and very nice. Ensuite shower room which we prefer to baths. Breakfast very nice. Staff friendly. Lots of restaurants nearby. Good location. Parking convenient. We were visiting family so it was an ideal place to stay.

Great town centre hotel. Its not 5* but lovely cosy hotel. We had a huge room with terrace, massive bed and lots of soft bed linen, pillows and towels. Bathroom a bit dated but it all worked and lots of toiletries. The breakfast was amazing with lots of choice. Continental was fresh and crisp, cooked was very well cooked with lots of choice. Staff were nice and helpful. It has its own car park at the rear and cost £8.00 per day but well worth it for the security and convenience. Walk to everything. We had a great stay. Thank you.

Booked an accessible room only to get there and find they were not accessible. Large step to get into the hotel. Bathroom door was not wide enough for a wheelchair. They said that room was very large to allow for wheelchair. Not helpful if you cannot get intro hotel or into bathroom. We had to find another hotel starting at 5pm.

We had four nights here with breakfast in a classic room. The location of the hotel is very good. The hotel has a car park which costs £8,00 per night and can be tricky to drive in and out of due to its location in a mainly pedestrianised alley. Check in was fine and the breakfast times were good although you need to give your preferred time the night before. Our room was down a level at the back of the hotel. The room itself was split level and comfy but the bed lagged any support. The room was clean and had lots of storage although for some reason the bedside drawers had been painted in and could not be used. The bathroom looked fairly new but had quite a bit of mould on the tile grout and ceiling and it only set up for showers, Running a bath was awkward as you had to stand in to get to the taps - not great for setting the temperature right as it fluctuated. We had a tiny balcony with French windows opening out on to the car park so no decent view. Many of the rooms are like this. Breakfast was nice - the eating area is nice and the lookout breakfasts were good. Downside was only one slow coffee machine which meant long queues and one waitress who was also covering the reception area - I hope she is being well paid! The hotel bar closes at 9.00 and was mainly dark and non-existent which is a shame although there are several great pubs nearby.
