The Hope Anchor

Ein bezauberndes Hotel mit viel Flair. Das Haus ist sehr alt und verwinkelt, aber genau so stellt man sich ein engliches Hotel in dieser schönen Stadt vor. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und unkompliziert und das Frühstück sehr gut.

Die Anfahrt mit dem eigenen Auto ist etwas herausfordernd, da die Straßen sehr schmal sind. Tagsüber muss der Wagen am Stadtrand geparkt werden, was aber mit einem kurzen Fußweg kein Problem war.

Sehr schöne Lage im alten Teil der Stadt. Sehr nettes, hilfsbereites Personal.

Zufahrt. Zuerst war unklar ob man mit dem Auto zum Hotel fahren darf - ist erlaubt.

Emplacement de l'hôtel dans la ville. Charme british. Petit déjeuner sur mesure. Accueil sympathique.

Les pigeons installés dans la chambre que j'ai évacué gentiment moi-même. Une expérience unique et fun à vrai dire. Un souvenir immémorable.

Son emplacement

Très très vétuste la chambre était insalubre salle de bains pourrie

We really enjoyed our stay at the Hope Anchor Hotel. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the hotel itself has a lot of character. It is a beautiful historic building with lovely views, which makes the atmosphere feel very special. Everything was comfortable and pleasant, and we would happily stay here again.

Het ontbijt

Alles is erg verouderd

Great location, excellent choice for breakfast.

Coffee at breakfast was dreadful and undrinkable which was a shame as everything else was good.

Character building in cute village. Reasonable price. Very hot but provided a fan.

Nothing

Loved the staff and breakfast. Location was very good. Close to everything. A beautiful historic town.

We had to pay for parking at the Strand carpark daily. But it was very close to the hotel.

Schönes, altes englisches Hotel mit toller Lage oberhalb des Ortszenzrums. Gutes Frühstück.

Location is great, good for getting around Rye, and they are part of a chain of properties which link. We had breakfast and the lady who looked after all the people at breakfast was excellent- nothing was too much trouble. When we left the cleaner went out of her way to help us.

Room was large but tired. A few things would dog a kind way towards freshening it up. Mattress very poor. Reception when we arrived was not great or customer oriented. It gave a vans first impression

Molto bella e centrale

Prachtige locatie, vlakbij mermaid street. Heel vriendelijk personeel, eenvoudig maar lekker ontbijt

De inrichting was wat oubollig maar paste goed bij de stijl van het hotel

Room was very sweet - location very central with great views and quiet. Cooked breakfast was good. Tea facilties in bedroom were good.

Just personal but the coffee from the machine at breakfast was a bit metalic so I left it and bread such as sourdough would have been a nice touch.

Lovely historic building in town centre, elevated position, great views. Good breakfast, quirky room with super king bed. Close to parking.

Beer selection ok but would have preferred ale on hand pump although I understand that this needs careful management. Therefore a better selection of bottled beers would be welcome.

Personnel sympathique Petit dej buffet et service a l assiette plutôt sympa Emplacement au top

La propreté pas terrible (moquette tachée et poussière sur le mobilier) Gros problème pression de l eau dans la douche et évacuation Pas de parking dans l hotel stationnement parking public

La colazione e la posizione per visitare Rye.

La scarsa pulizia: moquette completamente macchiata, mucchi di polvere su ventilatori, mobili e tende, ragnatele sulle pareti. Bisogna lasciare le finestre chiuse perché c'è rischio che entrino piccioni in camera, noi ne abbiamo cacciato uno appena in tempo.

L'emplacement

La TV qui ne fonctionne pas

Koselig hotell

Staff were incredibly friendly and kind. Passionate about Rye and surrounding areas and nothing was too much trouble. Great location, bed was comfy, shower facilities were fine.

A little bit old and tired, which made some bits look a little unclean - but mostly it felt clean. Got our breakfast orders wrong a couple times and food was ok.

Location. Peaceful and tranquil. Friendly staff

Decor in bedroom a little tired and dated, but this did not bother me at all. Charming old school lounge, and excellent breakfast

Excellent location and friendly, helpful staff, which helped make up for the shortcomings.

Unfortunately, the decor feels a little tired and it wasn’t as clean as expected. The main disappointment was the breakfast - both the buffet and cooked options seemed to use poor-quality ingredients, with reheated, chewy mushrooms and very vinegary-tasting eggs. The location was a real plus, though, and helped make up for it.

Parking was a bit of a juggling act, but in fact turned out pretty well in the end. Everything else was pretty good. We found a nice little Italian restaurant 10 minutes walk from the hotel, down the hill and in the town centre.

Parking, but it is easy to park 5 minutes walk down the hill at the Strand carpark during the day, as long as you get there about 9 am.

Erg mooi sfeervol hotel, ontzettend vriendelijk en behulpzame mensen. Voortreffelijk ontbijt. Prachtige ligging in het mooie middeleeuwse stadje Rye. Ook het uitzicht was geweldig.

Het hotel kan hier en daar wat onderhoud gebruiken.

Very welcoming and both members of staff we met were most friendly and helpful. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom spotlessly clean and well supplied with toiletries. The only slight drawback to our accommodation was that as ours was an attic room, we had to be mindful of the sloping rooves. Breakfast was very good and service excellent.

As stated above, care was needed to avoid the sloping rooves. Ok

We didn't like anything about this hotel but satisfied with staff efforts to do their job at their best.

The room and the hotel itself requires a lot of updates, wall paper in our room peeling off, windows didn't open properly we had to propped it up and the bed and pillows were not very comfortable.

Gute Lage. Erwas ins Alter gekommen.

Das Hotel liegt wunderschön im oberen alten Teil von Rye, ein tolles Haus. Wir hatten auch ein kleines aber sehr schönes Zimmer mit hübschem Bad. Das Frühstück war sehr vielseitig, teils kontinental, was in England nicht selbstverständlich ist. Natürlich gibt es auch das warme englische Frühstück. Ich würde jederzeit wieder buchen.

Die Parkplatzsitation ist etwas schwierig. Eigentlich müsste man unten im Ort parken. Das ist dann aber noch ein gutes Stück. Das sollte man einplanen und bei der Gepäckauswahl berücksichtigen. Wir haben es über Nacht drauf ankommen lassen. War kein Problem.

Nive room, nice situation, friendly reception

The breakfast as the coffee was undrinkable and the mushrooms served were strange and unpleasant

Quirky, good location and freshly cooked breakfast. Good value for money and helpful communication prior to stay.

TV reception temperamental. Outside space could be updated as it is a lovely sunny spot for an evening drink.

Lovely location and very friendly staff.

Breakfast wasn’t as tasty as I’d hoped

Ligging en sfeer

Das Hotel ist total charmant, man kommt sich vor wie in einem Agatha Christie Roman. Die Lage ist auch super, um Rye schön erkunden zu können. Frühstück war lecker und das Personal sehr freundlich.

Der Wasserdruck der Dusche war etwas schwach.

Wir haben hier das letzte mal vor vielen Jahren übernachtet und unser Eindruck von damals wurde nicht enttäuscht. Die Zimmer waren sauber und ordentlich. Das Frühstück war ordentlich mit frischen Eierspeisen uns hat nichts gefehlt. Toll fanden wir, dass man uns vorher eine Restaurant Empfehlung geschickt hat und uns auch einen Tisch reserviert hat. Das Essen war sehr gut und fußläufig gut zu erreichen. Parkplätze sind am Haus nur zum ein und ausladen, aber fußläufig gut zu erreichen. Rye ist immer eine Reise wert.

Lovely little hotel with friendly staff. We had a charming room in the eaves with stunning views. Great location.

Can't eat or park there.

The room was of a good size and although the hotel is set on a hill. The location had lovely views and it was very peaceful. The staff were all very friendly and we had housekeeping everyday. The hotel had a happy hour too!!

When we first got into our room there was a beetle crawling across our bed!! The fan may only just have been put in the room but it was very dusty. The there was no plug near the fridge for us to be able to plug it in! Our room was split into two sections and although there was a TV in both sections one of them was not working.

Très bon petit déjeuner Baignoire dans la salle de bain !!! Personnel très gentil.

Pas de balais wc Manque une petite desserte pour déposer les trousses de toilette dans la salle de bain et près de la baignoire Pigeons s’invitant dans la chambre, obligeant à fermer les fenêtres

De locatie

De kamers waren niet proper, grote stofnesten op de verwarmingselementen, zelfs de handdoekdroger hing vol stof, toch hingen er propere handdoeken op.

Rund um ein schöner Aufenthalt.

Nichts anzumerken.

Ligging was mooi

Heel oud en stoffig, niet schoon

Good location.

While I understand that historic buildings cannot always accommodate air conditioning, the fans provided were too small for the room, and the windows did not fully open. Given the price, I don't feel the room we stayed in did the hotel justice.

Hotel très cosy avec une chambre agréable et propre et un petit déjeuner copieux et très bon.

Fabulous location. Good view from room. Good breakfast.

Room was a little tired and shabby

My room was clean, comfortable and well equipped. I had a good night's sleep. The location is very convenient.

I think gluten free provision could be improved. I gave several days notice of my requirements but there was no gluten free breakfast cereals and no gluten free biscuits in the room. Overall, although efficient, I felt there was a friendliness and warmth lacking.

Das Hotel hat Charme, das Personal ist ausgesprochen freundlich. Das Frühstück lässt nichts zu wünschen übrig.

Staff very helpful

Romm and en-suite were tired: lumpy mattress, chipped paint and worn linoleum in bathroom

Beautiful historic building, lovingly kept true to its roots. Spacious, clean rooms with one of the comfiest beds I’ve slept in and a lovely range of items at breakfast. Staff were really friendly and helpful.

It would have been nice to have a curtain or door in the family room (room 3) to separate the child’s sleeping area off.

Had a small issue with our room which was delay with very professionally by the hotel.

Nothing

Lovely authentic place it the middle of Rye. The beds are amazing and everyone is very friendly. The breakfast was also very good!

It is a bit outdated and small. Especially for people of above average length, it is not very suitable. We could barely stand straight in the room on the top floor.

Great location. The lady at breakfast was friendly and cheerful.

The receptionist was too busy on her mobile and was extremely uninterested in booking us in. Flower beds outside hadn't seen any attention in years. Very old fashioned decor.

Schönes Hotel, gute Zimmer und gutes umfangreiches Frühstück.

Das Zimmer mit der Badewanne könnte einen Duschvorhang gebrauchen!

Beautiful old building in the middle of Rye from the 18th century.

Due to the age some things were a bit weird. Ground is not even in the rooms, super low ceiling for tall people not easy

Accueil très chaleureux avec de très bons conseils, excellent petit déjeuner, emplacement idéal .

Le stationnement peut encore être amélioré puisqu’il fallait bouger sa voiture avant 9h.

Albergo molto caratteristico e vicinissimo alla via più bella di Rye. Signora al check in molto simpatica e disponibile. Camera silenziosa e carinissima.

La parte della colazione preparata in cucina ..ma al buffet c’era tutto il necessario.

Mycket trevligt boende och personal. Fräscht rum och skön säng.

Breakfast choice was excellent. Staff were friendly and efficient

Centraal gelegen in Rye, fijne grote kamer met een ruime badkamer. Ontzettend lekker gegeten in The Fig.

Het ontbijt was ok, maar de koffie was oploskoffie en mijn gepocheerde eieren zaten vol met water, beetje jammer. Het was er ook heel warm, en ja het was sowieso warm in Rye maar iemand had de zonnewering naar beneden kunnen doen, nu kwamen we in een kamer met de ramen en de gordijnen wagenwijd open en de zon met 35 graden naar binnen scheen. Dat was niet aangenaam. Het hotel mag een flinke opknapbeurt.

Our bed broke! I had to sleep on the floor! My back is still aching! I tried to speak to somebody using the phone number provided, no one answered the phone.

Nice historic hotel but room wanting and heavily overcharged. Very good breakfast.

Room uncomfortable, bathtub and sink squeezed in, only one nightstand. Seating only in small windowless anteroom with soiled carpet. For the simplicity of the room, price almost double as high as adequate.

The location Good breakfast

The hotel is poorly maintained, and the carpets were dusty and stained. There's a gap between the pictures you see on booking and real life. Had we known the floors have carpets, we would have booked

Das Viertel auf dem Berg ist wunderbar! Lädt zu kleinen wunderschönen Spaziergängen ein. Biergarten hinterm Gun-Garden haben wir beide Abende besucht.

Zimmer war nicht ganz wie auf den Fotos. Kaum Wasserdruck in der Dusche, Frühstück hat uns nicht so beeindruckt. Gut, dass man nachts oben parken konnte, aber um 9 Uhr muss man mit dem Auto raus aus dem Viertel.

De ligging , het authentiek gebouw, parkeren voor de deur van 18.00 tot 9.00 uur. Bed kussens en handdoeken waren heel goed. Mooi uitzicht vanuit de kamer. De duiven komen je gedag zeggen in het raam. Ventilator op de kamer.

De douche daar hangt een apparaat in dat herrie fabriceert van een vrachtwagen. We miste lekker bruin brood bij het ontbijt. De uitstraling van de ontbijtruimte, dat mag wel gezelliger. Toilet trok moeizaam door.

Just a few min.walk to center in a quiet street.

Staff was friendly.

Premises felt old and outdated (carpets need replacing). Not easy to reach by car, so we had to park our car in a public parking and carry our heavy luggage all the way up to the hotel. TV didn’t work properly.

Die Lage ist top , mitten im Geschehen mit toller Aussicht. Frühstück war auch sehr gut.

Hätte durchaus etwas sauberer sein können und ist auch leider etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Parkplätze gibt es keine direkt an der Unterkunft, jedoch ist man fußläufig schnell auf einem bezahlbaren Parkplatz und aus-/ eingeladen kann am Hotel werden.

Great Staff & breakfast

Nothing

Had huge potential

Dated and a bit scruffy. No one on premises during the night. Absolutely dead although quite a few guests. No one left their rooms. There was a bar but completely unused during our stay. Boooking time for and ordering breakfast the night before more like a hostel.

De inrichting en vriendelijk personeel. We konden onze fietsen binnen stallen.

Lage deuren. 😄 De aanrijroute, je mag wél de middeleeuwse eenrichtingsstraatjes in (zie onderborden)..

Location and the building was beautiful and in a lovely location. Pretty furnishings.

Staff - one member of staff was lovely, but the other was surly and unhelpful. We came down for breakfast and were ignored, even tho we didnt know where to go for breakfast. No introduction to the food and guests tried to interact with her but got nowhere. Terrible customer service. Would not go back in a million years - 180 quid a night to be treated like that !

Large room with a beautiful decoration. And very nice and quiet location.

Furniture quality. We had to wait long time just to check in and check out.

La habitacion un amor!!! La ubicación un 10!!! Y la atencion muy buena

Nada

Frühstück

Für den Preis ein relativ kleines Zimmer, Teppichboden im Zimmer, verstaubte Lüftung im Bad

Alles war gut, nettes Personal

Die Betten waren etwas unbequem.

Ontbijt goed, omgeving prima alleen moeilijk te bereiken

Kamer sanitair ( kamer die we na klacht kregen was beter)

The Hope Anchor is a very historic hotel located in the highest part of the wonderful town of Rye. Having a parking space available was a huge plus! The property itself is nice and full of antique charm. We also really appreciated that they ask you to select your breakfast menu the night before—as a vegetarian, I was thrilled to see great veg options. Also, the breakfast staff in the morning were very friendly! Overall, the town is stunning and the hotel is definitely recommended for a one-night stay!

We arrived around 9:15 PM, which was still within the allowed check-in window. However, the lady at the reception wasn't very welcoming and seemed almost annoyed to speak with us, which wasn't a very nice way to start our stay.

Lage gut, man ist fix in der Stadt

Zimmer & Dusche recht niedrig, Parkplätze muss man in der Gegend suchen

Comfortable bed

Tired furniture, very dusty in places , The shower wasn't that great, and the duvet had stains on it So did the pillow's

Amazing staff. Lovely hotel.

Localização, cama confortável, apesar do banheiro do quarto que me hospedei ser muito ruim CVV com o teto muito baixo. Café da manhã muito gostoso.

So tem chuveiro na banheira , daqueles que vc tem que segurar com a mão, muito ruim.

Emplacement et architecture

Chambre et sanitaires vieillissants

Fint läge och trevlig personal. Bra happy hour.

Två av våra tre nätter på Hope Anchor gick brandlarmet mitt i natten och vi fick utrymma hotellet bägge gånger. Det berodde på något tekniskt fel och de hade problem att få dit tekniker. Det förstörde sömnen och påverkade vår vistelse väldigt negativt. Vi erbjöds ingen kompensation för detta. Det var fantastiskt vackert väder och varmt när vi bodde på hotellet. Eftersom de hade problem med duvor fick vi inte öppna fönstren, vilket gjorde att det var väldigt varmt och kvavt.

Die Lage oberhalb des Ortes mit Blick auf den Stadthafen ist sehr schön. Das Frühstück war super,, ebenso das Abendessen im St. George. Vom Anchor aus sind alle Sehenswürdigkeiten und die Altstadt leicht zu Fuß zu erreichen.

Am Hotel sind keine Parkplätze vorhanden, sodass das Auto am Hafen geparkt werden muss. Die Heizung funktionierte nicht, die Fenster schlossen nicht dicht, sodass es bei dem starken Wind im Zimmer kühl war.
