De Mangerie Guesthouse

Ostend

The de Mancherlei Guesthouse is ideally located in the immediate vicinity of the beach and the harbour. The room has a great view of the North Sea and the port of Ostende. The room has been renovated, but the renovation does not correspond to the price required. It is a little too expensive for the equipment, but the view compensates for it. The restaurant that belongs to the guesthouse is very good.

Top location

Although there are over 200 restaurants in Ostend, they try to attract customers, but some details are not misleading. The apparent cleanliness, the setting, the affluence and the number of regular customers. So we were tempted by our flair and our choice was the right one. An efficient service and present at the right times, a quality of family hospitality but a good tone, a quality of unadulterated food. Central (facing the fish market), this restaurant is an ideal address for daytime tourists like us.

Out and in.

On the Internet, the room looked great. The style is great, but in reality it's dirty, the blinds are curved, not properly closed and full of dust. Please don't look in the corners, everywhere there is dust since the room has been renovated but it doesn't seem to be kept clean properly. The shower cabin smells unpleasantly of moisture. A plus, the minibar is free and is filled. It's also cleaned and made into a bed every day. But the bedding fuses so much that the pajamas are saturated with streams.

It's a beautiful picture, but the reality is unfortunately different.

Accommodation at the beginning of June. Classroom rooms, clean and reasonably priced. Clean, spacious and pleasant bathroom. The room was attached to a small living room with a free minibar. Friendly and welcoming staff.

Do not hesitate!

We spent one night in this superb studio: beautiful sea view, well equipped kitchen and nice. Decoration design, huge bed. It was almost perfect except: - a little worn laundry (removed bathrobe, damaged couch cover) - bad sound with the neighboring apartments (awake up in the morning to the presence of young children in the adjacent apartment at the head of the bed) - the + bad point: no wifi. We get a code that works perfectly in the restaurant on the ground floor but obviously when the 7th floor, it doesn't seem to work anymore, which makes sense.

Almost perfect.

De Mangerie, a good address in Ostend: very friendly (and in French), very clean and very comfortable room, the bed is in good condition. The view is beautiful (on the harbour) and breakfast is plenty. We also tested the restaurant in the evening and had a snack.

absolute comfort

De Mangerie has two locations and 2 sets of rooms to let.  This review is for the Visserskaai 36 location and NOT the Albert 1, Promenade location (I've reviewed that separately).

So, the rooms at this place are above the De Mangerie seafood restaurant that's on the beach promenade. These rooms *don't* have a beach view, they're just off that promenade in a side street. First warning is that you can only check in when the restaurant is open; so plan to be there either during their lunch time service or evening service that starts at 5.30pm.

Rooms are accessed via a side street door and the smallest elevator you've ever seen in your life - it's the old fashioned sort with no internal door so if you're taking young kids up, make sure they keep their fingers away! The room we had was extremely large, but really reminiscent of a student bedsit.  A huge king size bed was on a floor level frame (so don't consider if you have mobility issues) and other than that the room had a clothes rail, a small table with 1 chair, small TV and a minibar with complimentary bottles of water and tins of pop. It was a little drab; dark colours and a sagging blind.  The bathroom was also large, but only had a bath with over-head shower and plastic curtain...which was a shame as there was more than enough space to put a proper shower in.  What was a little concerning was that they clearly have a problem with their pipes because the water that churned out of our bath was very brown! It certainly didn't encourage us to take a shower.

Parking is always a problem in Ostend and La Mangerie offers a space in their underground car-park across the road for 10 Euros a day which is well worth taking.  Only thing to note is that the headroom is around 1.8m so if you have a big 4x4 with racks on top you  may not get in.

There's no ability to have breakfast at this place, however you are almost right above a very high-end artisan bakery that opens at 7am and has the most drool-inducing range of cakes and pastries as well as offering coffee and tea to take away or drink in.

All in all it's quirky - though I will have to say that I've stayed in better for cheaper in Ostend.

More student chic than glamour

On the seventh floor above the restaurant, what a view of the harbor entrance and the sea. This very design studio is gorgeous, comfortable litter, equipped cushion and nice shower. Breakfast is brought in two, the fridge part in the evening, and the wineries and fresh bread in the morning, nespresso in quantity, so it was perfect. And the restaurant is at your feet, nice and democratic.

Remarkable view and comfortable design

Very nice location - right at  the seaside! Beautiful lounge-style room...
Most of all, it is very nice to have your breakfast brought up to your room in the morning...

I know I'll create opportunities to go back to this hotel!
