Hastings House

哈斯汀旅館處於海邊1分鐘的步行時間 外面沒有正式停車位只有先到先得的路邊位置 飯店沒有電梯，行李需要搬運十幾級長樓梯 房間狹窄細小，偏殘舊及不清潔 沒有空調只有一把佈滿塵埃的風扇 衛生間都是霉菌，通風設備差 雙人床較細勉強夠二人睡 房間如需要通風要開窗簾及開窗 但窗戶對出是一條經常有人出入的街道 時常有人張望觀看房內動態 感覺不安全 比較好的地方是淋浴熱水供應充足 6點後到達要自行拿鎖匙但指示清晰過程順利

旅館的主人BEVERLY非常熱情好客 小狗也很可愛 一切都準備的很周全 房間風景很好可以看到海 早餐現做的非常美味

Stayed for one night and whilst the room was very smart there were a few things amiss. There was only one sachet of coffee which we only found out after we arrived from our evening meal so too late to ask for more. One bedside light did not work and whilst a portable heater was provided (the heating was not on even as it was March) you could not use it to heat the bathroom hence cold in there The full English breakfast was excellent. Location was very good.

I arrived to find the building dark and a note on the door telling me to call for entry. I spoke to a lady who explained the owner had been called away on a family emergency and the b&b was unattended. I got the key via the key box and found my way to my room on the second floor. As a lone traveller I was already very uncomfortable with the whole set up but even more so to find my bedroom door wide open for anyone to gain access! The room itself was adequate but no hand soap or mini bar and it was utterly freezing! I called again and was told I’d need to go downstairs and put the heating on myself. I was already dressed for bed but I was too cold to relax so I got dressed and went in search of the thermostat which was located in reception. Another couple arrived into the building and they assisted me as we couldn’t even find the lights. The thermostat had been left at 15 so obviously they had ensured the guests would have no heating all night. The next morning I came downstairs for breakfast to be asked whether the heating had come on when I said it hadn’t the lady retorted that the rest of the hotel was like a sauna when she arrived in the morning - lucky them! Breakfast was full English, poached eggs or smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. I prefer a lighter breakfast, fruit and perhaps a pastry but this wasn’t an option so I went for the poached eggs. Pretty hard boiled unfortunately but the coffee was good. Finally when I came to leave and pay, the card machine was broken so I was asked to leave my card number, including the three digit security number. I quickly realised I’d made a silly mistake doing this and had to cancel my card, later making arrangements for a bank transfer into the owners personal account (upon their request!) I’m felt like I’d spent a night at Fawlty Towers to be honest. As a business traveller, my safety is a priority and this place failed on so many levels. When emergencies happen, the business owner should have a contingency plan, not leave guests to fend for themselves!

What a treat!!! Had a fantastic 3 nights there recently. Bev what a gem of a lady. Bedrooms spacious with excellent bed linen and all that was needed for a stay. Excellent location, near to beach, Town, Old Town and for walks wherever. Breakfast delicious! Many excellent resturants including a la carte all on your doorstep!

We went to Hastings House for dinner to celebrate 30 years together and were, quite frankly, somewhat disappointed. We had reserved a table on the patio; were seated at a metal table, no tablecloth or even place mats. Cutlery was wrapped up in a napkin (at least it was fabric and not paper). While the food was fine we were disappointed that the vegetables were comprised of uninspired winter vegetables, right at the height of Summer when fresh local produce is abundant. Overall, Hastings House isn’t trying hard enough to provide an extra-special experience, which is kind of what you might hope for when you are spending upwards of $300 on a meal for two. Very disappointing - won’t be back.
