    The steam room smelt really bad. Unhealthy even, like rotting cabbage....not at all like eucalyptus or the smell of a well-being spa 🤢

    Poorly understaffed at check in and restaurant. The staff were stretched beyond reason, creating extremely slow service.

    Clean, comfortable and lovely location.

    The bathroom was huge but the waterfall shower was unusable sadly. The shower wasn’t fully enclosed so nothing to keep the water in so the bathroom flooded. We resorted to using the little hand held shower head, which was a shame. For such a smart hotel, we expected better bars and restaurants in the area, but most seemed a bit run down. There is no bar at the restaurant so we asked about a taxi in to the town centre. We were quoted 30 euros each way which is extortionate for a 3km journey.

    The hotel was very smart with a lovely reception area and friendly staff. The room was huge with the bed looking over the sea. Our room had a long picture window, with the door open at night you could hear the waves lapping on to the beach which was very restful. The room was clean, modern and tasteful.

    We had a superior room, which was very comfortable with a huge bed. There was a private car park for guests, which was easy to access from the hotel. We didn't use the spa but went swimming in the sea each morning, as there is a great beach right by the hotel. There are a few bars and restaurants within a 5 minute walk, the first part of the town 10 minutes walk away, and the main town 25 minutes walk away. Would recommend as a good location for anyone wishing to stay in Douarnenez.

    The hotel has all the features which belong to an establishment of that calibre but the atmosphere is lacking in warmth.

    One has to understand and appreciate Thalasso to fully appreciate the hotel. For the non expert, Thalasso seems to center on an not particularly inviting Spa area that offers a range of applications involving ocean water. It may be good for non-French guests to explain the concept of Thalasso and what it offers.

    The location of the hotel is fantastic, the breakfast and the comfort in the room very good.

    You need to wear speedos you are not allowed shorts in pool. You need sliders to walk around in the leisure spa. You need to hire a robe. So whilst this is allegedly free with your stay, the hotel will sell you sliders starting at €10, Speedos starting at €30 and a robe hire making it an eye watering swim! Don’t forget to take the correct attire! They do advise on shorts in the pool in fairness but a better list of requirements for the leisure facility would be better.

    Location excellent. Good standard. Reception staff excellent. Great views from terrace onto the bay. Good spa facilities.

    Service was very varied. Maria was excellent (thank you), but unfortunately, others were actually quite rude. (We don't appreciate being completely ignored at reception while a receptionist plays with paper clips, for example). Very poor meal in the restaurant, over cooked and dry sole meunière , and again, fairly rude service Bedroom was odd. The toilet is separate from the bathroom with no facility to wash your hands.

    A great spa
