Service was great and helpful. Reception is not 24 hours but check in and check out was simple. There are quite a lot of stairs and no lift, which was difficult. The receptionist went around the corner to the butcher shop to find someone to help my bags, which was so sweet of her. The rooms were cozy and the beds were comfortableThe only thing is that the chair in the room was extremely filthy and disgusting. It grossed me out. There were pieces of food on it and it clearly hadn't been cleaned in who knows how long.

Really enjoyed our stay here. Clean, well appointed rooms. Honesty box with crisps, bottled water & chocolate was perfect when we got in late and all the takeaways were shut. A very warm welcome when we arrived. Amazing range of beers at the bar and locals very friendly. Thoroughly recommend

I didn't stay at the motel so I'm only reviewing the bar. This is a place you should visit if you're a true beer lover! They have a great selection of craft, local and continental beers, the staff have great knowledge of beers and local brewers. Rye has the other famous micropub, but I feel the bar at the Regent deserves more attention as it's truly a hidden gem. I would heartily recommend a visit

Hubby and I chose The Regent after reading the reviews. The motel is only a few minutes walk from Rye station and in the centre of town. …

Lovely little, unassuming from the front, motel, 5 mins from the cobbled old town. Lovely room with a gorgeous shower. Great little bar right underneath. Very friendly staff. Rey is very pretty and there's loads to do around and about. Had a lovely stay!

Had a lovely stay at The Regent. Would recommend checking a room that was back facing. Staff friendly, very helpful and informative. A beverage a Stephens Bar is a must. Entrance around the back, no food on site plenty of food options locally. Hot showers

Very good location to explore rye and close to the train and bus station is handy. Clean room and daily housekeeping. Only thing to complain about is the early morning noise of their washing and kitchen into the adjoining room which we were in (Beach themed room)
