    I have already spent more money for more stars but less comfort and service
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Double or Twin Room with Pool View
    • Stayed 5 nights

    The room - considered to be sufficient for two - was a bit on the tiny side. The interior - apart from the huge bed - consisted of a very small secretaire and a small refigerator.

    The whole affaire is - probably - from the 1950 or so - but well kept. It has the charme of a combination of Finca/old english countryhouse and ship cabin style. The bathroom was top modern. Breakfast was laid out lavishly - the place to dig in has got the style and charme of a 1960 train buffet (actually none at all). The bed was huge.... The POOOOL!!!!!! Small, but well kept and highly convenient.

    No parking. We were told by a staff member that the area past the railway and to the right was free - we left a car there for two days and found two parking fines when we returned

    Room, breakfast and service all good. I liked the extra touch of the lemonade in the reception area.

    I had no issues to complain about.

    This hotel, for the price, in Sitges, is SUPERB! The staff were amazing all the time. The room was basic but clean and comfortable. Yes, it could do with an update to the decor but that would come with an update in the price. If you wanted to find fault in the decor you could, but if you just relax and enjoy the space you are in....id return without a doubt.

    Couldn't change AC temperature, no remote control and wall regulator not working properly. Not a big issue but might be during hot weather...

    Location is prefect. Calm place and room is ideal for 2 persons.

    the bed was not so comfortable. small pillows and and mediocre mattres. the shower door was broken so it was difficult to close. the temperature in the shared areas was quite low, so i had to wear a jacket when i sit in the lobby.

    the location is amazing. the staff are super friendly and helpful. the breakfast is good. the shower pressure was very strong, taking a shower felt amazing.

    They could improve the quaility of the breakfast, the croissants were hard, the fruit was unripe and the quality overall was a bit low.

    The location is very good, in the town center and near the train station. The swiming pool is very nice, definitely a plus. The rooms are ok, probably a bit better of what you can expect for a 1 star hotel.

    The included breakfast was a great perk. The staff were fantastically helpful. Location was ideal.

    Nada.

    This was a great location in Sitges and very handy to the train station. Excellent breakfast with plenty of variety. Public car parking about 5 minutes away @ €3.60pd. Rooms are basic but had everything we needed with a good bathroom. Special mention to Richard on reception who was so helpful on our arrival. El Cid over-delivered for us.

    BUT the room was very dated and basic and had no bedside lamps or even plugs next to the bed. My plane was cancelled so I arrived only in time for one night but was still charged for two nights. I had already sent emails in advance to warn both Booking.com and the hotel that I would miss the first night, so I at least expected some discount - but nothing?

    Very convenient to the train and bus stations. Excellent buffet breakfast with huge selection of food. Clean modern bathrooms and good deck for the attic rooms.

    I really liked the hotel. Nice location close to everything train station , castle, beach and supermarkets and restaurants . Super friendly and helpful staff at the reception and restaurant . Nice breakfast with different food and various drinks. Have a pool area . “-“ But… Hotel is really old , and since it’s old it doesn’t feel fresh . When someone on your floor is closing door of their room , your bed is jumping up from from the clap of their door. Also I found that you can hear everything that is happening around and can not sleep well. I think can be solution if management of hotel will add devise which can close doors soft. Attaching to r this review .

    The room was by the lift, noise was intrusive at night. The door hung oddly so there was a lot of light filtering through at night time. We feel out love affair with the El Cid might be over😔

    Have always loved the Cid, visiting over 20 years. Value for money and great town centre location.
