If you want quirky The Mermaid Inn is the place to stay! As you step into The Inn, you are transported to a different world! We loved our bedroom with all the creeks in the floors & the big four poster bed! We had a lovely big bathroom. The breakfast was delicious plus we had dinner the one night & it was wonderful. The staff were so welcoming & friendly. I wouldn't hesitate staying there again...a brilliant stay!

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.

Friendly staff. Comfy beds. We had twin room only downside only had bath with handheld shower. There wasn't a curtain so had to sit in bath put shower over you which was difficult trying not to get water everywhere. Breakfast really good. I would stay here again.

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.

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
