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

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

Great rooms with a balcony. Enough closet space for clothes. Bathroom was clean with excellent free toiletries and towels provided, which were changed every day, room also cleaned on a daily basis. Rooms come equipped with TV, A/C and a fan. Breakfast is served to midday, which is a superb luxury with a variety of food options. Staff are excellent from front desk to the cleaning crew. 1 star hotel not on your life, it's above the 3 star rating.

It's not about not liking it's about space and accommodating everybody's needs. The swimming pool is good but could do with more seating as it becomes crowdy very quickly in the morning.

El Cid is a beautiful hotel. Large reception area and several comfortable lounges, all air conditioned. The room was spacious and air conditioned . It was cleaned daily with fresh towels most days. The en suite bathroom was a good size with a walk in shower, razor/hair dryer power point and all toiletries provided. The bed was super king size and the room had ample storage space with plenty of coat hangers. There were many power points in the room plus TV and fridge. The buffet breakfast, hot and cold foods were gastronomic served from 8am to noon. I've stayed here many times, English is spoken, its gay friendly and I would highly recommend it. The pool and sunbed area is all you need to relax. Being central to the town and beaches, its a treat and good value for money!

There was no kettle in the room to make tea/coffee when I arrived but reception did provide me with one. The balcony/patio had an electric sun canopy and 2 sun loungers which was good but it lacked a table for drinks and nibbles. I asked for one but it couldn't be provided

Not the first time at El Cid, everything was again up the standard I got used to. Location is great, near main train station with lots of shops, restaurants and bakeries around. Beach is really close, maybe 5-10 minutes of walk. Breakfast has its own standard for years, you can have various things, from cereals, fruit, cheeses, eggs boiled or scrambled, bacon or sausages, even beans for your classic English breakfast. Coffee machine is there also during breakfast. Pool option was ok, especially when you wait for your room to be ready or when you finish your check-out, you can still be at pool and wait for your ride to airport or wherever you go next. Staff is really friendly too, they will help if they can.

No big things really, everything you have at El Cid is good value for money. I did have little trouble with pillows, but thats just me, maybe others wont mind it.

We had a great stay @EL Cid as always been coming for the last ten years only miss out on lock down years. The hotel has not changed in that time a little dated but it is perfect in good location at the back of Sitges walking distance to beach front. bars and restaurants. Very closed to train station perfect. Excellent breakfast all you can eat buffet, lots of choice in a large breakfast room does get busy at times. A good swimming pool . Good large bed room big bed and updated bathroom large balcony all good

We did feel the hotel has gone up in price but then Sitges is expensive all rounder. Maids can be noisy outside your door early morning, our room door was left open all day after cleaning one day a bit scary but room was cleaned every day and new towels every day

It’s a good location in the old town but only a few minutes walk to the sea front. The rooms are nice and clean. The bed was very comfortable and enormous! The breakfast was brilliant- a really good choice of hot / cold and lovely pastries. Good coffee too. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. There is a lovely sunny pool area with plenty of sunbeds. It was a very quiet and relaxing place to sit and read/ swim/ sunbathe.

Stairways are a bit tired. The wiring in the room wasn’t great - my lamp wouldn’t turn on. A couple of bedside lights would make all the difference.

It is sparkling clean. Very good value for 1 star hotel. It is close to railway station. The staff are very friendly and they all can speak fluent English. I arrived early at 10 am in the morning after a 21-hour flight. They have a facility for me to take a shower and get changed and left my luggage while I am waiting for check-in, which is about 2pm. A large range of choice for breakfast. The breakfast is serving from 8am to 12pm. I booked in the room with the pool view which is the excellent choice as I can dry all my towel and swimwear in the balcony. So, I can use next day.

If they install a power pluge beside the bed, that would be perfect.

The location is wonderful! Easy walk to the beach, stores, and central town areas. The breakfast was great! Always a good selection that fills you up. Prosecco is a nice touch! (If you're lucky enough to get some). The pool gets sunshine 90% of the day, which is fab. The staff are lovely, especially the Breakfast staff! They are all very welcoming and accepting.

To be honest there isn't much I could say. I'd love the rooms to have conditioner for hair and a hairdryer. If I'm being picky then some of the rooms can get a bit noisey, but honestly it wasn't that bothersome or bad. TV channels could do with some English ones besides just news! :D But who's coming to Sitges to sit in their room and watch TV anyway!

Staff were so friendly as always. Rooms clean and well equipped. Sheets and towels changed daily. Aircon, TVs and great location. Beach towels free of charge and breakfast included. What's not to like?!?

Some of the public areas are really starting to look tired. Walls are scuffed by housekeeping trollies. Carpets are stained / bleached....and the wrought iron lamps and light fittings really need to go. None of that would stop me from staying there again though! I love the place, really! xx

Perfect location in the city center with loads of stores restaurants and train station at your doorstep. The hotel is very well organized and the pool area is a pleasant place to get some tan even in early April. Breakfast good but noisy boring breakfast room. The hotel is simple but they do give good service. I was definitely positively surprised and recommend it if you are ok with a low profile simple but very clean room and bathroom. It has what’s needed and is what they say.
