“Pleasant enough, but somewhat overblown and tired.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

This hotel would probably appeal to American tourists and the older generation! The decor is overdone and fussy, yet doesn't hid the fact that it is all 'getting on a bit'.
Our room ('de luxe') was large and pleasant enough, with a large veranda, though the bathroom was rather small.
Breakfast was adequate, no more, and the use of pool and associated facilities had to be requested before a wait for things to warm up...
All in all, I did not feel this hotel to be good value for money.

“Warn Welcome”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

We spent New Year weekend at the Rye Lodge and from start to finish we could not have wished for a better, more comfortable and welcoming stay. The staff were really friendly and breakfast was fresh and well cooked. The room was lovely and warm and we had a good view over the river to the sea. The hotel was also very clean.

“Will be definitely be back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2011

Stayed at the Rye Lodge on the 17TH December for a birthday.
The hotel is excellent and difficult to fault, we stayed in the Armagnac room which was very nice and had everything we needed in it.
All the Staff we met were very friendly and helpful which made the stay very enjoyable.
As someone else mentioned the “Full English breakfast” is not to be missed
There is even a Celebration package where you can be taken to one of three restaurants by the Hotel Rolls Royce. Unfortunately we were not aware of this at the time of booking.

We just had the one night in Rye and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hotel was really nice, staff were friendly and was just what we wanted. Would definitely stay there again.

“Almost Perfect.........”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2011
3
people found this review helpful

My friends and I (4 of us) had a glorious time at the Rye Lodge Hotel. We arrived on Thursday, November 17 and departed on Monday at 6:30 a.m. The premises were elegant, the staff professional and quite pleasant, the dining experience was excellent. Almost perfect, and then late (around midnight), on Sunday night/Monday morning, one of the male employees (a rather large man), used his key and entered each of our rooms unannounced, scaring us, as you can imagine, half to death. We thought his behavior was rude and inexcusable, and could cause the hotel severe problems. His excuse was that he wanted to leave a note regarding our very early departure as no one would be at the desk when we left. I'm almost sure he didn't mean any harm, but he had to know that he displayed inappropriate behavior.

Rye Lodge deeply regrets this incident and fully understands the guests' reactions. We apologize unreservedly for the actions of the employee who has been severely disciplined over the matter.

This part-time staff member has many years of experience in the hotel industry, so Rye Lodge's management find this obvious and uncharacteristic lack of judgement inexplicable. He has explained to us that he believed the guests concerned still to be out of the hotel, however it has been made very clear to him and to ALL Rye lodge staff that unannounced entry into guests' room is inappropriate at ANY time of the day or night, and that such behavior will be treated as a dismissible offense.

Future guests can be assured this will NEVER happen again.
