We had a pleasant stay. The room was very nice and everyone who works there is really lovely and helpful. Unfortunately, the room where we stayed was right next to the front door and suffered from lots of noise. The guests coming in and out were banging the stubborn door until late at night and street noise was also loud. I can imagine not all rooms have this issue, so I’d recommend Old Borough Arms, but maybe not room 1.

Single gazed windows suffer from lots of internal condensation during outer cool days. Lower half of the windows are covered in dense frosting film preventing any view through them. The noise from the light traffic can be heard inside. Water flushing/shower and guest noise from other rooms does enter the room on the middle of the three floors.

Had a really lovely stay at The Old Borough Arms. Lovely hosts who were really welcoming. Made us a great breakfast that set us up for a days wondering around the town and area. Room was very comfortable, warm and well equipped.

The staff are amazing. there was a mix up with the booking from Expedia and the staff fixed the problem which ended up with us getting an upgrade. This was fantastic. The accomodation is well located, clean and serive is super friendly. Highly recommended

This hotel is quirky and quaint. I was staying in Room 8 which was on the ground floor. The room was compact and had all the fittings you might expect. Some drawers, dressing table, TV and coat hooks, but no wardrobe. Quite a nice quirky mirror above the dressing table. While it looked pleasant, it did feel a bit in need of modernizing. The en suite, however, felt very new. The room was quite dark as it backed onto the car port so really didn't have a view nor got much direct light. I didn't have food there, but the cafe looked pleasant. I particularly liked that the hotel building includes a section of the old town wall built in the 14th century. The location is very convenient for all of Rye, and very near some pubs and restaurants.

Good value for a weekend in Rye, convenient for all local shops and restaurants. Comfortable bed and modern bathroom.

Property was in a great location in town.

A warm greeting upon arrival. Great location with pubs and restaurants only minutes away. Lovely fresh and clean room, comfy bed and a great night sleep! 5 stars!

Good check-in, friendly staff, comfortable bed, very clean

Lovely room with modern bathroom. Friendly staff. Breakfast was excellent. Enjoyed our stay here and would recommend.

Well located and clean.

Great location right next to Mermaid St and really friendly service. Really appreciated being able to have breakfast from the Mermaid Cafe with 10% off as guests of the inn. The only thing was that the walls are quite thin being a historical establishment so you can hear things going on outside the room. Be sure to pack earplugs if you’re a light sleeper!

Charming place. Clean and spacious room. Friendly staff and excellent breakfast.

Beautiful old inn, our room was very clean and in very good condition.

Sarah is an incredible host! She was accommodating for our evening check in and helped arrange babysitting. Traveling with two toddlers isn't easy, but she was so helpful and made us feel right at home. I'll miss their comfortable bed and luxurious bedding. The kids loved bubble baths in the tub. The Tilling Suite was perfect for our family of 4 and a friend who joined.

Fantastic location, very friendly owner and staff, excellent breakfast.

Fantastic location in the old centre of Rye , great little outdoor terrace for breakfast/ drinks .

Nice room not friendly for disabled people, no parking at hotel, would stay again

We loved staying at the Old Borough Arms, the staff were friendly and proactive, the food at the Mermaid cafe was great, especially the breakfast and the ice creams (we got 10% discount for being guests). The location couldn’t be better. The room was clean and comfortable, the toilet was nice and refurbished. We were able to check in as soon as we arrived and they were kind to store our luggage after our check out. We would 100% stay here again

Sarah is an amazing host and so welcoming. We stayed in a very unique apartment on the top floor of the Old Borough Arms which was spacious and great for families, or even a group of friends. Convenient to all of Rye and lots of character. Would stay again!

A 300-year-old guest house built into the centuries-old city walls with knowledgeable, caring staff, a really comfortable bed and an excellent cooked breakfast? What's not to like?! Sarah and her team could not have been more helpful. Not only that, The Old Borough Arms is perfectly placed to explore Rye and the surrounding area, which is full of amazing things to do and see - from the Rye Harbour Nature Reserve five minutes away to the unmissable Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Light Railway 40 mins' drive away. Thank you, everyone - we'll be back!

Warm, friendly place with very helpful staff on hand. Warm cosy and clean room. The property is very central with food always during the day available in the Mermaid cafe.

Very well placed. Comfortable room with easy access from the street. Really friendly staff.

The property / room was ok for a few days but pretty basic for the price. We only used it for a base to explore the area so we didn't need much.

We really enjoyed our three night stay at the hotel. They are pet friendly, which meant we could take our dog on holiday with us. The room had a kingsize bed, was a good size overall, pleasantly decorated and clean. The en-suite was modern and very clean. The hosts were very helpful and friendly, offering tips on places of interest in and around Rye. Overall, our stay was very successful and I can heartedly recommend the hotel, especially if you are looking for dog friendly accommodation.

Super central location and cosy rooms

We planned a trip within a trip to Rye for one night that happened to be the Euro 2020 semi final night. Early dinner at a local Italian restaurant then back to the room. Rye is a delight and this hotel was very charming on the edge of the town centre and harbour area, beautifully located. Room was small but well proportioned, clean and all the amenities you come to expect, including high speed wi-fi. Great breakfast the following morning set us up for a day exploring the town and local area. Happy to recommend and would be happy to re-book.

We were quite surprised on arrival. The advertising photograph suggests a more expansive location than was actually the case. Our room was good, and we were shown there on arrival by the owner. It was comfortable and we hardly missed a window on to the street outside. The bed was good, as were the en suite facilities. It was useful to use the cafe below for breakfasts, which were served promptly by the keen and courteous staff. All in all, an unexpected and pleasing experience

Lovely hotel in the centre and a few minutes walk to everywhere in Rye. Sarah is amazing and so helpful with the ideas of what to do and see around. Thank you!!
