This was our second stay at this hotel and we have really enjoyed it. Our rooms in both occasions have been spotless, cosy and welcoming. The staff are lovely and attentive and Abbi was especially helpful, It was bonfire night and extremely busy but she handled it all very well, with non resident guests trying to come into the hotel. There was also cheese and biscuits put out for guests, which was a really nice touch. Breakfast was good and aplenty, we will definitely be back.

The room was a good size and clean/comfortable. Quite a lot of stairs to get to it! Parking - very important in Rye - was easy. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Breakfast very good. However the hotel was looking a bit tired - carpets very worn on stairs - and the windows in our room had swolen so wouldnt quite close - not great given we had really strong winds whilst there which were very noisy. But very close to lots of great restaurants.

Great place to stay if you are visiting Rye

Great location and friendly staff, also tried their sister restaurant Gorge Grill. The food is yummy and you get 10% off if you are staying at the Lokout. :)
