Absolutely excellent hotel for the price in high season. Great breakfast, beach towels provided as well as daily cleaning. Very old school classic Spanish hotel which means it’s slightly dated but has some brilliant touches. Other reviews mentioned you can hear people walking above you etc, but it didn’t bother me, maybe bring some earplugs if that might be an issue. Location is fantastic with access to the station, airport bus and the old town.

The place is ok. It looks very old but we stayed 1 night. So far AC was great, washroom little tight but nice and clean. Breakfast saloon was a little cold in ambience.

Well, because they didn't solve my problem, I suggested a change of dates and they didn't accept it and I lost 112 euros for one day of hotel. By the way, you told me that you would give me a thousand or so coins that were like 20 euros to deduct from my next trip, but you haven't done it. Let's see if it's true.

I had a really pleasant stay here at Hotel El Cid. The room, although compact, had most things you could need. I think a small fridge to keep drinks cool in the heat would have been a nice addition. There were also no tea or coffee making facilities. The bed was large and comfortable though and there was air conditioning, so I had a good sleep each night. The breakfast was really good. They had a variety of choices including cava, if you got there early enough. The swimming pool was quite cold but they had lots of sun loungers to relax on if cold pools aren't for you. The best surprise was the welcome drink at another hotel down the road on their rooftop. The hotel is also very LGBT friendly.

Was amazing

The rooms are perfectly adequate and the service is fine. There is one reason I rate this hotel five stars and it's the price. They serve a decent breakfast, they are one of the few hotels that have a decent sized pool & location can't be beat ....if you're not a snob when it comes to hotels, then choose El Cid.

The breakfast is rich, the soundproofing is good, welcome wine is provided, and the price/performance ratio is very high

An impromptu night in Sitges, we decided to stay at the El Cid Hotel. It was a great choice. Great location, excellent facilities, super-comfortable bed, and newly renovated bathroom. A super-full breakfast is included in the price. We'll definitely be back.

Always satisfied with my stays at this hotel
I'll definitely return whenever possible.
