Top Costa del Sol Hotel Reviews

Hotel Ritual Torremolinos \- Adults Only

8/10 Good

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic location and atmosphere This was another excellent stay at Ritual. The location is perfect, just a short walk from the beach, La Nogalera and Torremolinos train station, making it an ideal base for both relaxing and exploring the Costa del Sol. The staff were welcoming, my room preference request was accommodated, and the room was clean and well maintained throughout my stay. The atmosphere is one of the hotel’s biggest strengths. It’s sociable and welcoming, with a great pool area and excellent facilities, while still offering plenty of opportunities to relax. The only constructive feedback I’d give is that I found the mattress in my room quite firm, which made some nights less comfortable than I would have liked during a two-week stay. Comfort is, of course, subjective, but it was noticeable over a longer visit. I’d also recommend checking the hotel’s event calendar before booking. Festivals such as Infinity, Kink Weekend and other major events create a fantastic atmosphere for those attending, but they also make the hotel and surrounding area much busier. If you prefer a quieter, more relaxed holiday, choosing dates outside those weekends may be a better option. Overall, Ritual offers a fantastic holiday experience with an unbeatable location, excellent facilities and a unique atmosphere. It’s a great choice for anyone looking to stay in Torremolinos."

8/10 Good

"Very central location perfect for connecting travel with bus station and train station adjacent. Quaint and quirky building, very traditional centre piece roam style open courtyard above an area of shopping amenities. Rooms were spacious and clean and had air conditioning but no balcony, understandable in a built up urban location. Clean room, comfortable bed, breakfast was a good selection of quality cereals, fruit , yoghurts and juices along with substantial warm selection of cooked breakfast options. All in all very enjoyable stay and excellent value for money.."
