ibis Le Touquet Thalassa 3성

This place is worth visiting just for the sake of the amazing views of the beach and sea from the rooms. I slept with the curtains open and it was lovely to see the sun rising over the beach from bed!

This really is an excellent hotel! Very clean and the sea views are second to none! We had a good choice of breakfast! Parking on site (pre booked) and paid! And the staff were welcoming and friendly! It’s a nice walk into town and along the promenade! ( if you want to be close to town stay in town!) cannot fault this hotel and will return

We have stayed at this hotel before and the rooms are lovely with fabulous views - (The WiFi is a bit unreliable though) But the Accor payment requirements are the real problem.... We had paid Accor in full, in advance for our three night stay, just over £500 however on arrival we were asked to pay an additional £400 plus, as a guarantee for services that we 'might' use in the hotel I explained we had no plans to have breakfast here or use the restaurants but there was no room for manoeuvre So three night at £500 plus £400 pre-payment plus general spending money makes the budget required a three night stay well in excess of £1000 excluding the Le Shuttle Really annoying though was the fact that we didn't even know the pre-payment hadn't been refunded until a UK purchase was queried a week after our return Although the cash is not actually 'taken' from your bank account - you can't spend it as it is 'pre-authorized' leaving you with reduced funds until it is cancelled and potential embarrassment This transaction was 'cancelled' at hotel reception at check out, the day we left, a week ago, but the refund has still not appeared in my account They already have our credit card details so I cannot understand this arrangement - and it just makes you feel uncomfortable I now have the additional hassle of chasing either Accor or my bank to ensure the funds are returned We have stayed in hotels all over the world and have never come across this ridiculous arrangement We love Le Touquet but sadly wont be returning to this hotel simply because of this 'pre-payment arrangement' In short - beware the pre-payment requirements especially if you're on a tight budget

We arrived at Ibis far too early, feeling shattered and in desperate need of a sit down and cool air. The staff were welcoming, swiftly registered us and apologised that as we were so early, we would have to wait for our room to be prepared. Not a problem, they had set our expectations. They made it clear to us, we were very welcome to wait in the reception area or on the balcony, or by the bar. Music to our ears. We were weary travellers and by small acts of kindness, you made us feel so welcome. Our room was ready far earlier than expected. Thank you for going the extra mile.

The rooms are very basic but we had a room with sea view which was amazing. Made the room feel huge. Uninterrupted view of perfect sand, softest hues of pale yellow sand and light blue sky. Swimming pool was great as too was the steam room. Perfect after a day of cycling round the town. Staff were friendly and helpful. We had booked room only so only paid for breakfast on the last day. A buffet breakfast with a lot of choice. I did like the hot chocolate! Pillows were a bit spongy and high for me but still comfy. Would have preferred a daily top up of in-room coffee and milk supplies and, to help the environment, china cups/mugs in the room that we could wash up would have been better as opposed to paper cups. Not that the paper cups were changed in two days until we asked for fresh ones. It's not that practical to wash up paper cups as they became dangerously soft and it was difficult to hold them filled with hot liquid. Easy walking to the town and restaurants. As we had taken our bikes with us we left the cars in the car park for the whole trip and used bikes or walked everywhere.
