The hotel standard was well maintained, cheerful and helpful staff, breakfast was plentiful, our room was clean and well serviced, our only negative was the car parking, having to use an app, not everyone has a smart phone! Eight pounds a day is too expensive. We would come again.

This was in a very convenient place, had very well equipped and comfortable rooms, and the staff were friendly, kind and helpful. We had an excellent breakfast - there was a good range of food on offer, and we had the best kipper we had ever tasted! We also appreciated the advice to eat at The Lookout's sister hotel, and had a splendid meal there too. Altogether a very good stay, and we would heartily recommend this hotel. S and S, Bromley

A fantastic location with very friendly staff. However the hotel could do with some refurbishment as generally looked a bit tired (stained carpets, dirty walls, cracked mirror).

Lovely Town Centre Hotel
The Lookout is a great little hotel right in Rye. If its 5* you are looking for it is not, but lovely building in reasonable condition. Huge room with terrace that was nice. Very comfortable bed with lots of soft bed linen and pillows. Bathroom was a little dated but it all worked and lots of toiletries. Breakfast was amazing. Lots of food for all tastes and you can eat what you want, all freshly cooked. Continental food was fresh and tasty. No lunch or evening food so very quiet. Shame because nice bar and outside sitting area. Staff very helpful and nice. Overall a great stay. Thank you.

Impressive
A lovely hotel with a warm welcome from the staff. The room we had was a little tired and in need of some refurbishment, but this in no way detracted from our view of the hotel as a whole as we would gladly return. Breakfast was excellent and we would like to thank the staff for a wonderful stay.
