Manoir'Hastings

The hotel looks great, it's got it's own car park. The lady behind the bar/reception is very friendly. I decided not to eat in the restaurant as the menu was very limited and expensive for the offerings. I was allocated room 8 in the circular building . The room is a good size and appeared clean and tidy on first sight. However, the supplied towels stunk! The pillows were really lumpy, made with pieces of foam by the feel of them, the bed had a well used, musty smell too, so I slept wrapped inside the duvet, with no pillows, it's a shame. Otherwise it was a good place to stay for the price (if they sort the problems) and very near the port.

Our stay at the Manoir Hastings was very pleasant. We had booked the accommodation to be close to the Port at Caen for a ferry back to Portsmouth. The owner was very friendly and allowed us to book in a little earlier than advertised. The rooms were spacious and clean with everything you would need inside. They have a nice area to sit out with a drink. It is also within walking distance to Pegasus Bridge which made a nice evening stroll. The service from the lady serving in reception/the bar was a little unfriendly but I think this was due to her being very busy. Perhaps just a smile when bringing out a drink would have been appreciated. Overall, a very acceptable stay.

I do not understand how manoir Hastings has a rating of 4.9 something strange going on. The location accessibility to channel ferry was good , but that was as far as it went.our room was ok. The service and food was absolutely appalling. Our room was on the ground floor just outside the area where the owner seemed to have a meeting place for his chums. So very noisy. We requested a room change but the place was full being peak holiday season. We tootled to the bar to be greeted by a grumpy bar lady. The four other members of our family arrived and were greeted at the bar grumpily. Drinks duly arrived and firmly deposited on the table. We moved into the restaurant, and waited patiently to have our order taken, two couples coming after us were served first. We felt because we were 6 we were being over looked. My son in law had a word as the 3 year old was staring to get bored. We finally placed our order. The food then came very quickly, which explains why it was appalling, my calamari style a sete, looked nothing like what I had googled, thin short matchsticks of a Lamar I in some water with a few veg, my ‘sesame prawn wok with Asian vegetables’ was 3 overcooked prawns (2 “ long) which were cold on a sad small bowl of ratatouille that had been sitting round. Wish I had taken photos That was my 2 courses for 30 euros. The worst value meal I have ever had , this is my 2 nd time ever I have written a review. We then realised why she was grumpy , she was showing new arrivals to their rooms, serving bar drinks, taking menu orders, and also delivering food. We sympathised with her and joked ‘where was the owner to help, had he gone off with his chums for a good meal’. We could tell from her reaction what had happened. If you go to this place do not eat here expensive for terrible food
