Room clean and modern. The staff were extremely helpful and pleasant and very approachable. The position opposite the sand dunes is ideal and don't be put off by the exterior. The restaurant was a huge dissappointment. We had chosen this hotel because of the restaurant. The cheapest bottle of wine was £22 and the food bland and not well cooked.... more

I booked for lunch on a Monday in August. Initial impressions were good. I sat on the terrace with a view of the car park and the dunes. A glass of Ponte Pietro (one of a selection of wines by the glass) was nicely chilled and refreshing. The local raspberry and apple juice was very good. One starter of local... more

I have just returned from a very pleasant weekend at The Place. Camber Sands is a wonderful stretch of beach, favoured by windsurfers and kite boarders, due to its high winds. There are great dunes, but not much else in the area. The owners of The Place have taken over what was a very boring motel and created a one... more

This was not what I expected. It may have been the wrong time of year - Rye and Camber were freezing. However, there was very little to do, with the weather being so cold, and Rye is a very small town. The first thing to say about The Place is that the staff were extremely friendly and helpful and polite,... more

We stayed at this hotel one weekend and found it superb. The level of service was excellent, the staff very friendly and welcoming, the food was absolutely delicious, the rooms very comfortable, and the location convenient. We would highly recommend it and would definitely come back in the summer! more

This was our second stay, enjoyed greatly. The superb situation of this attractive motel attracts a wide range of customers. The food was even better than the first time. Very nice standard room, comfortable beds with quality linen and good to have venetian blinds. DAB radio provided although TVs need upgrading with a need for more channels. A large bottle... more

We had heard a lot about this place and tried a couple of times previously unsuccessfully for a last minute weekend, this time we were in luck. Desperately in need of an easy to get to, easy to be in, place with good food and near wide- open spaces, and The Place absolutely did the job for us. Glad I... more

It is completely over rated in my opinion. The website makes it look fantastic, but Travel Lodge type places offer better value for similar accom. Fish Pie at dinner was bland and the overall atmosphere and ambience was poor. No bar!!! No proper seating area in reception. Rooms clean but very average and soul less,n not even a picture on... more

I booked this based on all the media coverage I had seen since it opened. Usually i look at Trip Advisor first, but I forgot to... luckily I did check it out before going so I wasn't too disappointed/knew what to expect. Plus points? I guess for England it's quite cheap. However, when I rang up I was quoted £99... more

This is a pleasant hotel, located just opposite the Sand Dunes leading to the beach at Camber. Main attraction for a family is that you can get a room for 5 people. The room although not huge slept 5 people comfortably, had a basic TV set, but with a DVD Player. There is dinner available in the brasserie, with the... more
