Great Ambience hotel

Great room, spacious and good comfortable bed. Breakfast was very good with good quality food Nice ambience in restaurant. Food was limited and was slightly expensive plus there were costs for extras like potatoes? Taste of food was good. Beer was expensive in my view £8 lager and &12 for Gin and Tonic - London prices. I would definitely stay again. Pleased with Anniversary dessert and general service

The hotel is centrally situated, close to the train station and at the center of Rye, a most charming historically preserved town with houses reflecting six centuries of life in Sussex. Despite the history of The George Hotel, it has all the amenities, a wonderful restaurant and patio, a made to order breakfast, nice rooms with a tv with cable and radio which plays BBC, jazz and classical music, a shower with great water pressure, an Italian coffee press and fresh coffee and an assortment of high quality teas. The staff is helpful, friendly and gracious. It was quite perfect.

Worst night's stay

Worst night's stay we've ever had. Shame because the room and hotel were nice. Checked in and informed there was a wedding taking place, not a problem. Got to our room off the courtyard and part of the wedding party were sitting in front of our door, had to ask them to move to get in. Not an issue but was awkward. Advised courtyard would be closed and no one allowed in it after 10pm. People in the courtyard sat right outside our door until 11.30pm, drunk and loud, we could hear their whole conversation as if they were in our room. I called reception twice with no answer. I then had to ask them to keep the noise down myself. Went quiet for 30mins or so, then noise started again and carried on until 1.30am. Again, we had to ask them to keep the noise down ourselves. Finally had some quiet, then staff started clearing glasses and moving chairs loudly at 7.30am followed by power washing the patio. THE worst night we have ever had, little to no sleep on a Sunday night. Not a problem there was a wedding but the hotel should not have allowed our room to be booked or at least should have ensured there was no noise after 10pm as they had stated. Spoke to duty manager next day and were offered dinner in the hotel, not good enough. Advised general manager would contact me. Nothing heard for 4 days after check out. I emailed with complaint and got a 'sorry' email back but no offer of refund for first night which should have been offered given we had no sleep. Very disappointing.

The George is a lovely hotel, but the staff and rooms really let it down. We were hosted in a "cosy" room which really lived up to it's name, being so tiny we could barely move and with a double that the wife and I could barely move in. The room was directly above the bar so extremely noisy, but most of all it was like an oven in there with no Aircon. Pretty unbearable. At breakfast, which was distinctly average I had to ask 4 separate times for some sauce to go with my meal. Truly a poor experience

Classy friendly hotel

Attractive and warm hotel with great communal spaces and restaurant and cosy rooms, breakfast is generous and tasty. Perfect location for exploring Rye. Some of the rooms a bit of a walk away, so do check if you have mobility issues.

Disappointed and underwhelmed

We stayed at The George for a few days away. This was over the hottest few days of the year. Our room was on the very top floor (attic). The room was very small with a small window which faced the sun. As you climbed the stairs (no lift), you could feel the air getting hotter and hotter. The heat was unbearable with only a small fan 'for comfort'. No one checked in during our stay to see how we were coping. We ate at The Grill restaurant one night. The menu was limited, confused and overpriced. Breakfast was a buffet but felt 'mass produced' with staff delivering hot foot arriving before you'd completed cereal. It felt like we were in the way and staff were trying to get us out asap. We had been so looking to our stay at The George as we'd eaten there few years ago. But we left disappointed and underwhelmed.

Lovely hotel, wonderful room but only a fan on a 31 c heat day was not not good enough. Terrible nights sleep, cold showering in the middle of the night not much fun. I know we have had unusually hot weather but feel the hotel could have provided more. Air conditioning definitely needed. I sleep better in a Premier Inn!
