Great location in old town of Rye

the Hope Anchor is in a lovely location, at the top of the old town of Rye with views down the valley. The room was comfortable and it and the bathroom were well equipped. The downsides were that it could have been cleaner, a former residents hair in the bathroom for instance and the welcome wasn't exactly effusive.

On top of a hill. Very kind and helpful staff for me to drop off my luggage before check in, and after check out Breakfast is quite good, and the room as fantastic views over the fields, and part of the town Rye is very small so super walkable wherever you stay. Enjoy this place next to the Mermaid street, and the charming town overall

Faded and Jaded

I like faded and jaded and choose historic buildings to stay in for their character. The Hope Anchor is rather faded and jaded. Bathroom tiling and stair carpets need a refresh. Liked choosing breakfast the night before. Delicious and generous breakfast. Liked the bottle of fresh cold water. At this price point I would stay again if in Rye. Couldn't get WiFi.

David, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel is old but charming. The room was bigger than expected. Had a room for 3. Had a big bed in one space and a twin bed in the other room. We faced the harbor so opened windows to get a nice breeze. They provided a fan which helped bc our room was pretty warm as they do not have ac. Breakfast was nice and included with room rate. Service was great. Did have a time figuring out how to flush the toilet. Other than that we enjoyed our stay and the town. Very friendly folks, great shopping and restaurants. Close to the beach.

Excellent hotel stay

An excellent stay, brilliantly located in the old town with great views. Well worth the windy drive through the quirky streets and bag drop off. Room was outstanding, very comfy bed and good suite. Breakfast was also fantastic with great range of choice. Best weekend stay hotel we’ve ever had.
