We stayed in room 17, which had a 4 poster bed, with Period furniture and modern bathroom. A great breakfast and restaurant along with a snug type bar area. The staff were polite and welcoming with limited car parking (get there early), but in the centre of the old town

Me and my partner stayed at the Mermaid in over the May Bank holiday. We stayed in room 19, which was a great size and clean. Staff were really friendly and breakfast was very tasty. Would definitely recommend this hotel when staying in Rye.

Beautifull hotel. Loved the room, ‘Frank Palmer’. Lovely firm mattress. Little steps up to bathroom. Good breakfast, although no baked beans. Shame, as they are full of fibre. Dinner was good, but goodness knows why one cant exchange something on the menu if they don’t like it. Staff are friendly and helpfull.

A little tired in places, and there was obviously no air conditioning. There weren’t enough plug sockets for the amenities, although USB ports built into the front of the sockets would be a useful addition. The staff were very good, the bar was good, and the food was very good. Overall, we had an enjoyable stay.

It’s a beautiful hotel in the very center of Rye, fantastic historical building. Unfortunately, the rooms are not too well maintained. This said, we really enjoyed the stay, the restaurant (great dinner), breakfast was superb. Hotel has a parking on site, which is very rare in Rye.

Felt like a fairytale to live in history for the night. Every nook and cranny - and there are lots, was interesting to me. Breakfast was fantastic. Was disappointed by the menu options for dinner.

The room was small but perfectly formed. Overall it is important to remember how old this building is and how much effort goes into maintaining it. It is a real experience, great use of space, the staff were excellent, breakfasts kept you going all day. Parking a challenge

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The historic building is incredibly unique and full of character. We stayed in a top-floor room, which offered beautiful views. The best part? The bathroom had an extra door/window that opened directly out onto the rooftop! I know it’s technically a fire escape, but it made the experience so special and memorable.Also, the breakfast was outstanding. The food was so fresh, and it was honestly the best English Breakfast I’ve ever had in the UK. Highly recommended!💜

James at the front desk saw that our bags were delivered to our room while we explored the city. Breakfast was fresh, plentiful and hot. Staff was very thoughtful. Did not see any ghosts, but still had an amazing stay. Rye is very sweet and the Mermaid Inn is very special.
