We stayed in a 7th floor “superior” apartment overlooking the pools.

We have stayed before when booking a private apartment through a local agent, but this was the first time we booked directly.

FIRST TIP – scour their website for special offers, as the person you speak to on the phone might not be aware of them and will quote you the full price.

We book an apartment (any apartment) because we like to be able to make our own tea and coffee and morning cereal without having to get up by a certain time and then look for what we want in an unfamiliar dining room. We also like to be able to wash clothes and beach towels occasionally. The Mediterraneo supplies cups, saucers, spoons and even a saucepan, but no kettle and no coffee maker. When we asked were told “ we have a coffee shop”. Then why bother with the cups and saucers? We were also never supplied with dish towels or towels to dry things with.

SECOND TIP – walk up to the main road leading from the rail station and go into one of the cheap bazaar type stores and buy a cheap coffee maker and some cloths to wipe up the cups with. The coffee maker we bought cost less than €7.

The washing machine was fine, although being on holiday we used it as little as possible. The fridge in the kitchen was actually a sort of mini-bar / fridge, containing a selection of drinks that you might find in any hotel mini-bar. Not really what we look for in an apartment.

For location the place is hard to fault, providing you are NOT on the street side. It’s close to beaches and night life and a relatively easy walk to the station or airport bus if you are not into taxis.

The apartment we had was comfortable and clean. Our towels were changed daily but the bed sheet changing seemed to have no pattern – sometimes every day for a few days and then we’d have a break for a couple of days.

The bed was king size and fairly comfortable with a decent pillow. It was not a sumptuous thick mattress so if that’s what you like you won’t find it here.

There was air-con in the bedroom and the living room and they worked perfectly.

There was a small TV in the bedroom, which we never turned on, and a slightly larger flat-screen one in the living room that we turned on once just to see what channels were available. In English we found just CNN and BBC World News. There were a few other non Spanish / Catalan channels, too – German and French.

Overall we thought this place was fine and we would stay again, but not if there were no deals at the time as, in our opinion, their full prices are not worth it.

This complex is primarily holiday apartments with a few dedicated as a hotel. The rooms are quite basic and functional at best. The overall decor reminds me of a seaside holiday resort from the 80's. We chose this hotel due to its proximity to the beach and the pool (which is nice).

However, BE WARNED. Our room as well as the guests next door were broken into and robbed. There was no sign of forced entry suggesting that it was an inside job. It is highly unlikely that guests from two rooms would leave doors unlocked. The hotel has no security cameras to trace what happened. The staff on duty in the evening were extremely helpful calling the local police and ensuring that we were able to get a full report for our insurance. After a lengthy discussion with the hotel manager we got the night of the burglary for free which was as good as he could do.

We will probably visit Sitges again however not this overpriced, outdated and pretty ordinary hotel!

Ok so this was a last minute booking - unadvisable in Sitges - however, this hotel charges outrageous rates for a basic, two-star room. We stayed in an apartment - basic and 1970s apart from the odd Ikea vase. Worst bed/mattress I have experienced - I had to sleep on the sofa. The bathroom was prawn-pink or rather 1970s beige. Exposed electrical cables on the floor - you get the picture... Only positives would be the location ( our sea-view balcony overlooked the opposite hotel and that looked rather lovely - and we could see the sea if we tried hard enough). Everything is old and in need of investment - even the doors..my partner was locked innthe bathroom at one point and we had to call reception to free him. Basically - shamefully overpriced, don't give them your business - book earlier and get a great apartment in town (for less money!)

We have stayed at this place four times and love it. The decor is slightly dated now but the kitchen has been upgraded since our last stay a few years ago. The things that make it stand out are the location,(opposite great beaches and a stones throw to the restaurants, bars and shops) the actual apartment size, the lovely staff ( from Reception staff such as Albert who is a star) and the lovey smiley maids who clean the room each day, and finally the gardens (with shade) and excellent swimming pools.
We will always come back for a family holiday, it is perfect and the apartments are spacious and air con is a must in the summer. Highly recommended and although expensive, its worth every penny.
