Auberville-la-Manuel accommodation from NZ$103

The striking red in the exterior photos were no match for the faded actual exterior, letters were missing from the hotel name which made it difficult to find. Possibly due to language difficulties, when someone finally came to reception they didn't seem to particularly friendly. The hotel appears to be in a period of much needed restoration, the landings were covered in decorators sheets, unfortunately any restoration hadn't reached the room were originally given on the 3rd floor. The room was basic and tired, coffee rings on the table, filthy radiators, chipped paint everywhere and looking like some Blackpool 50's boarding house. Advertised with a sea view, we could see some sea between two buildings, so I suppose the description was technically correct. We were given the option of a room on the ground floor, with a view of the car park (advertised as 10 euros but quoted by reception as 20) once the rather dirty shutters were raised. The room had been redecorated but no facilities in place, the bathroom was clean but water spewed out of the mixer joint. We tried to like the place, we really did, but at close on £100 it was a real disappointment.

Outdated, not pleasant to stay in…

The only part we liked about the hotel was the location, which was close to town center. Our room was small, they have us the one in the attic, very dangerous for people traveling with kids because the stairs to room door did not have any other door to block. They dont have air conditioning, just heater, at nights it gets very cold but dont know at summer if ac would be needed. Breakfast was decent, not too many options but it was tasty
