Novotel Thalassa Le Touquet Hotel

“Basic but very nice”

A very nice, clean and simply appointed hotel right on the beach. We couldn't get a balcony room, but had a large window that opened onto the sand.

“Mixed feelings”

Stayed for one night as a family of 4 prior to heading back to Calais. The main draw for this hotel is the beach and the pool. Be aware the pool is a salt water pool if you have small children.

Stayed for one night as a family of 4 prior to heading back to Calais. The main draw for this hotel is the beach and the pool. Be aware the pool is a salt water pool if you have small children. We were aware of this prior to booking and quite enjoyed it, despite it being rather chilly. Towels and robes were supplied for the adults. Changing rooms and lockers available. The beach was down a steep dune and was lovely to enjoy before checking in. Our room was nice but basic and felt very small compared to other family rooms we’ve stayed in this week. The sofa style bunk bed felt very much squeezed into the room leaving not much room to manoeuvre around the room. We were pleased to see a pod coffee machine and the beds were comfortable. Our experience at the restaurant was somewhat mixed. We had a wonderful sea view from the table which was fabulous but we felt like we were dumped in family corner as we had children, no offer of bread with our meal etc. We found service to be a bit dry and considering what we paid for our meal, it was a small portion. Impressed with the kids menu which had a good choice. Overall, we left feeling quite underwhelmed by the room and service experienced within the restaurant. We paid around £400+ with dinner and felt that our experience didn’t live up to the cost.

“Could be great but need to sort breakfast. ”

On the edge of town but a nice enough, mostly flat, 15 minute stroll down the seafront. Saltwater pool was nice with a few swim floats and lots of towels provided. Nowhere near enough sun loungers outside and people hog them all day rather than removing towels when they go off for lunch. Bar ver... more

On the edge of town but a nice enough, mostly flat, 15 minute stroll down the seafront. Saltwater pool was nice with a few swim floats and lots of towels provided. Nowhere near enough sun loungers outside and people hog them all day rather than removing towels when they go off for lunch. Bar very nice but expensive. Fun watching the tide go into for miles then appear later right outside the hotel. Room nice and clean except for a sandy floor the entire time we stayed, including when we arrived. Air con decent. Towels fluffy but shower water pressure and temperature fluctuates wildly. TV in room bigger than the one we have at home!!! Kids loved the funky sofa bed/bunk beds. Our bed was big and comfortable enough but the mattress topper/protector made it sweaty! BUT by far the biggest problem is the queue for breakfast. It is from 06.30 to 10.00 and I think they need to experiment with making it later as we queued for over 20 minutes at 09.10 in the morning every day plus when we were seated there were at least six empty tables. The staff were all busy but maybe there aren't enough? Otherwise a lovely stay.
