Average stay at a very average hotel. The beds are hard and the extras whilst staying are constant. It’s incredibly noisy with slamming doors all night that echo and disturb your sleep. The bathroom was plagued with an army of ants, though staff provided spray to try and combat the little blighters.
The standards have slipped at Ritual and having stayed many, many times I’ve sadly seen it actively go down hill. It’s like they don’t care about it anymore. The outdoor spaces, in particular the rooftop pool, are shabby and uncared for and the steam room in the Spa has been broken since my last visit in March. They’ll continue to attract the LGBT Crowd due to the unique offering which is exclusive to the area. Whilst decorated, the rooms are tired and the closed in, inaccessible microwave / kitchen area looks absolutely awful.
This place is not worth more than €50 a night however. Anything more than that would leave you feeling robbed.
The Ritual is a gamble. If it’s an adults only weekend you’re looking for, you might do okay. Anything longer than a few nights is pretty depressing.
Staff were nice and the room was clean. Parking was also plentiful and free on the street outside. I’d stay again, but not for any longer than a weekend.
