Excellent staff who made you feel very welcome.
Lovely clean, warm room with comfy bed. Shower a bit outdated but worked well.
Excellent breakfast
Very good value for money
Room was clean, staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good, especially as I have food intolerances. Free parking which is rare in Rye. Close to restaurants and pubs in Rye. We had a riverside room which is much quieter than streetside.
The staff were all extremely helpful, friendly, polite and accommodating. The breakfast was good quality food - real butter, avocado, good bread. And there was good choice. I don’t know why but I didn’t expect that. Excellent attentive service.
The hotel wad in a good location within 10 mins walk of the centre of Rye. Free parking was a real benefit. Hotel staff were all very welcoming and friendly. The room was clean, quiet and spacious with a nice view looking out over the river. Breakfast was cooked to order and was very tasty. We enjoyed our stay at the Haven hotel and would thoroughly recommend.
Hotel location is perfect next to the rover, hotel staff is welcoming, very good breakfast options, good size cozy rooms. Overall a good budget friendly stay.
Good location to explore Rye and the Nature Reserve.
Room comfortable and very clean.
Breakfast was plentiful
Staff helpful and generally friendly.
Price reasonable and there is parking on site.
The River Haven is in a great position by the river, and a short walk to the beautiful historical area of Rye.
There is plenty of parking.
The staff are very friendly, and breakfast is excellent, with plenty of choice.
