Hotel El Cid

Good budget friendly option in Sitges (ie anything under 100 euros a night is budget in Sitges!)
Comfortable smallish room with aircon overlooking street. (Double glazed windows so no noise)
Breakfast was good and nice pool area.
Central location and bear train station.
Friendly and helpful staff.
Hotel clean snd well maintained, although lobby/reception area a bit dark/dingy and could do with-some updating.
Not the Ritz, but overall I was happy.

The Hotel does not really change ... and that is a real positive. The Buffet breakfasts stand alone in terms of multiple choices ... Hot offerings include Boiled or scrambled Eggs, Sausages, Bacon and baked beans ... fine tasting salad tomatoes are also available. Fruit Juice and many fruits including Melon and a choice pf Yogurts. Cold meats and cheeses plus many types of bread and small cakes including very fresh Croissants. Soya milk and having bought two new Coffee machines, a very decent Coffee and several Teas yo choose from. All the staff at the Hotel are charming and attentive and the Reception staff cannot do enough to help when needed. The double room, 325, taken because of the cost, is perfect with a very good power-shower and a safety deposit box in the wardrobe (extra 3€ per day.) The room was cleaned spotlessly each day and towels changed each day. The room has a fridge. This Hotel, once again is highly recommended.

Positives:

The room was spacious and clean with one of the biggest beds I have ever experienced.

Good housekeeping services

Hotel is well positioned to access public transport and bars & restaurants

Breakfast was well run with a good selection of things to eat. There were a few shortages of items at times and drink machines were a bit slow and not always reliable, but nothing so bad.

Negatives:

The staff at reception were of varying friendliness and helpfulness. I didn't always feel comfortable asking questions (which should never be the case)

There were issues around a bedside lamp and fridge in the room. The bedside lamp got resolved. The maintenance guy said they would look into the fridge when the room was vacated.

The air conditioning leaked some water on to my head one night I was there which threw me. I slept on the other side of the bed but eventually returned when it didn't happen for two nights afterwards. But not a great thing to happen.

There was no kettle in the room which was disappointing not to be able to make a morning coffee or tea. I could bring one up from the breakfast room but not the same as making one when I wanted to.

All in all a mixed bag. I would stay here again but they need to look at these negatives and address them.

Brilliant hotel! Lovely staff, really clean and tidy, good selection of food for breakfast too. Room was lovely, cleaned every day. Perfect location for trains and buses, shops, restaurants and the beach. We will definitely return.

Great! value for money.

September 2025 Sitges!

We enjoyed our stay at Hotel El Cid in Sitges.
It was really nice, the location is great, there are many cafes, restaurants, shops nearby, close to the sea and the train station.

The room was good, spacious with a large bed, and we had a balcony.
Unfortunately, we missed one thing - we didn't have a kettle with coffee/tea in the room.
The bathroom was a bit tired and could do with some updates, the shower hose should be fixed.

But otherwise everything was great and the price was worth it.

The staff are all lovely, but I especially want to thank receptionist Eduardo, a Cuban guy who gave us very professional advice on what and where to visit in the city, was very helpful, polite and funny at the same time.

We would happily stay here again.

Very clean, very friendly and helpful staff, nothing was too much trouble. Excellent value for money too. A good location also, close to the station, shops, cafe's, bars, a short walk to the beach.

The hotel was an easy level walk from the train station. Our room was ready so we were allowed to check in 3 hours early which was helpful.
The attic room had a large comfortable bef and a large balcony with sunbeds and chairs.The hotel is centrally located amd oy is sm easy ealk to the seafront. There are lots of dining options in the town.
Although we did not use the pool it did look clean with a few sunbeds around it.
Breakfast was until midday and there was a very good selection of food available. All the staff we came across were friendly and helpful.
The only negative I can think of was that the plumbing was very noisy in our room which can wake you up.
We would stay there again.

The breakfast was really good, lots of choice and availability. The rooms were a bit dated and our balcony didn't have a view. Negotiating entry and exit to the shower right next to the toilet was a feat! Soundproofing was also an issue. Overall value for money it was ok.

This hotel is OK. But just that. The beds are rather large, which by and large is a good thing but anymore than 1 person in the room and you need to navigate around the bed. We were given the “best room” which made me laugh after the first night as we faced the main road and were subject to almighty smashing each morning when the bottle bins were emptied at 5am. The hotel is VERY clean, impressively so and that warrants the 4 stars otherwise it would be less. The pool disappointed us with a whole 8 loungers (we never managed to use it as a result) but it looked nice, clean and tidy. Over all an OK hotel for a few nights but not a holiday. Grumpy larger bloke at reception needs to Learn some manners too….

This hotel is so lovely! It feels like a really authentic old Spanish building but still has modern conveniences that you need on holiday, like aircon, a super powerful shower and a lovely pool area.
The staff are all very helpful and we had no issues getting checked in or out. It's also a very central hotel so we could get anywhere within a 10 minute walk, including the beach and any restaurants we wanted to go to.
My only suggestions would be more sunbeds around the pool - some people struggled and were lying on the tiled floor - and more healthy options at breakfast - there were a few fruit pots that disappeared as soon as they were brought out, but the rest was cooked breakfast or pastries.

Good location. Near everything. Food, shops,beach

Stayed on many occasions over the years and always feel comfortable and welcome at the hotel and the late breakfast faculty is excellent

Charming old style hotel. Excelpent service,.aleays friendly and courteous. Very centrally located. Very reasonably priced comparatively. Great coffee in morning!

Room does not have lopsided light no bed side table 1 star hotel.

Clean friendly hotel with nice pool area ..very good for the budget

Many good things, and the staff was a stand out!

Great stay. Buffet hours and shower post check out were extremely convenient.

It’s a fantastic property, dated in its style but a lovely atmosphere and very comfy. Breakfast is great and runs until 12!

A lovely friendly warm hotel with so much charm. This is the second time we have stayed here in the last two years.
The staff cannot do enough for you and work tirelessly to make you stay clean and comfortable. The hotel is situated close to shops, bars, restaurants and beaches making it a great choice. Breakfasts are great with lots of choice. There is a pool if you don't want to visit the three superb beaches. Well Recommended.

We love sitges, The el cid is a perfect hotel that’s hidden gem. The staff are all very friendly and the hotel is spotless and well cleaned. We had a pool side room that was perfect, quiet, clean and a comfortable room with a balcony over the pool. We had air con in the room which was nice. The breakfast is always very nice, the lovely guy that greets makes the experience. Fresh hot coffee & other drinks, fresh cool drinks, fresh food and made hot food.
