Third Time back and the Ritz Carlton does not disappoint, the staff at the RC are simply fantastic giving the best level of service across the board. The hotel is located and presented as you would expect, the facilities are outstanding. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel as it is quite frankly the best hotel I have ever stayed in.

Excellent Property with Splendid Service

It’s a lovely property with INCREDIBLE service. We stayed few nights to celebrate an occasion and were very impressed by the focus on service and hospitality. Special call out to Elena at the reception and Abhitosh at the restaurant who were too nice. There were others too (Salman at entrance, Christopher with the luggage) and we did not find one person who was not warm or helpful. Sitting by the canal side, they had complimentary lollies, water, sunscreen and sunglasses cleaning service! Property itself is very opulent and well kept. Great assortment of restaurants and food options. Lots of open space around the property to take walks. The gym is one of the best gyms I have been to with plenty of space, open views and nice equipment.

Excellent service. Thoroughly recommend.

Excellent stay. We almost never stay in the same hotel twice but this was our second short trip. Service is just perfect. Friendly and efficient but equally not overly familiar. Stunning, peaceful lobby. Super bedroom. Despite us arriving six hours before check-in, the team tried extremely hard to get our room ready, which they had done hours ahead of official check-in.
