The hotel was OK. Not as in "just ok" but not OK with an ! either.

I was disappointed when we were allocated a room on the rear opposite the sea but from the expansive balcony we have great views over the city and hills as well as a side view of the ocean and the old town.

Breakfast: we only had breajfast once at the hotel and we more enjoyed the al fresco on our own very private balcony.

The rooms were ok. A bit plain. We didn't find the place noisy at all, perhaps because we were on the top floor and at the end of the hall (room 313). Even the snack fridge, though unceremoniusly plopped down on the floor inside the room door, was silent. (Nothing worse than a mini fridge clicking off and on all night.) The fridge had a few snacks long with the requisite drinks.

The bathroom was more than ample though the shower head was mounted on the side of the space. The water pressure was much better than most.

The pool area was as fine as a putting green. We had no problem garnering a set of chairs.

The pool-side cafe looked really nice though we didn't eat at the hotel after the first breakfast, which, to go on about it, was (a) hot .. and not so much the food as the room. With the sun shining in, and who can complain about that, the room was nearly sweltering. And (b) the food choice at breakfast was mediocre at best. Especially at what one would expect at a 4-star or when compared to another upper end hotel like the Calipolis where breakfast was a feast.

The front desk staff couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful - and in English. The person who brought the requested iron to the room arrived very quickly and decined a tip for the service.

And back to the room itself: very plain but practical. 2 double beds up against each other.

Biggest complaint after breakfast: the walk. It IS a pleasant walk down the promenade but my inner child kept asking out loud: "Are we there yet?" as it was a long walk after a later dinner. Not too long, but closer would be nicer. It could be a romatic-ish walk if you're there with your beloved and in no hurry as the prominade is well lit and right over the beach and waves.

Stay there again? Probably not except for the pool.

The hotel is a VERY long walk away from the city centre.

The rooms were un urgent need of refurbishment.

Dont pay for a sea view room unless you smoke, I had to suffer a room that smelt of tobacco.

The staff were very unhelpful.

The food service was VERY poor.

THIS IS THE WORST HOTEL THAT I HAVE EVER STAYED AT!

A very noisy hotel not up to the standard. We were given room right next to the cleaning ladies rooms. From early in the morning very noisy banging doors etc. We also had noisy neighbours in other rooms. Hotel staff not friendly, quickest check in ever two seconds were told nothing about hotel or Sitges. Hotel could do with new paint etc. Breakfast was nice though. Would not recommed this place.

Feb 20th, 2007: stayed one night for Carnival festivities. Hotel was an easy 15 min walk down a nice palm-lined pormenade along the beach to town center. Hotel staff was very friendly and spoke good English.
Room (#206) was large, clean and comfortable with nice balcony and ocean view. Bed was firm and good. Bath was large, clean and good pressure and plenty of hot water. Breakfast was great. No trains were running for return to Barcelona due to electric problem. Staff helped us with arrangements for return. For the price, if you dont mind being out from town center a bit, this is a good choice. Would definately recommend for budget travellers! Sitges is a pretty town.
