The lady who greeted was very friendly. Room was big and the bed was very comfortable. It took a while for room to heat up as I hadn’t realised all the thermostats were turned off. I had a bit of disturbed sleep as I stayed when it was very heavy rain/ windy so the windows were rattling (understandable as it’s an old building).

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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Andrew 10 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Quirky hotel 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. ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Anthony 17 Jul 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities It was ok wouldn't stay again ##### Anthony Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Malgorzata 15 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities My son and I had a lovely stay in The Old Borough Arms. Excellent staff, supremely welcoming and friendly. They go above and beyond for their guests. Cozy room, with all you need to have comfortable and enjoyable stay. The highlight: The most delightful breakfast on the terrace! Definitely recommended. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c2d3b34a-9c5c-4de3-8e62-d55d13413bdf-1755247076651.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c1f00217-81c6-4d58-8b34-2e31f35b6660-1755247076961.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7bcd27ce-a6ef-490e-a556-909282cd64dc-1755247075689.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ed616ed6-8259-42d8-a165-80ef39ee7402-1755247075248.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Malgorzata Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allan 8 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Definitely worth a visit.
