Sitges Royal Rooms

W rodzinie jest także ogromny pies. Za każdym razem, gdy wchodzisz do hotelu, jesteś „atakowany” i szczekany. Bardzo mnie to niepokoiło! W nocy (w styczniu) w pokoju było bardzo zimno, a przy łóżku nie było lampki do czytania. Spędzasz tu noc w jednej z typowych willi Sitges i czujesz się jak w muzeum. To prawie trochę za dużo. Jeśli podoba Ci się ten chorobliwy urok, to jest miejsce dla Ciebie.

Arrived in the Sitges Royal Rooms in late February 2024 for a five day mini break with my partner. The hotel is less than five minutes walk from the railway station, we chose to buy a 3 zone T-Familiar transport card from BCN airport railway station for £28 which gave us two return journeys from Barcelona Zone 1 to Sitges. This was a very relaxing, stress free way to travel down the coast from Barcelona and in only half an hour. Check in consisted of a brief tour and history of the hotel, payment of the tourist tax (payable directly in cash to the hotel, mandatory in Catalonia) and being shown to our room. We had reserved the room "Carmen" (all the rooms are named after operas) which was spacious, clean and had a large private terrace for us to lounge in giving us some comfortable extra space. The bathroom and fittings were good quality and contained a large shower cubicle with lots of piping hot water available. We would have liked to have a drink in the garden bar which is closed at this time of year, the garden looked wonderful, but this is only a small gripe, there were lots of local places to drink. Cleaning throughout the stay was impeccable. Our hosts were true gentlemen who couldn't do enough for us to ensure we enjoyed our stay, offering advice on where to eat and places to go. We would definitely like to stay at this hotel again when we're next in the area. It's proximity to the hustle and bustle of downtown Barcelona and Tarragona makes it an excellent base for exploring the area. Sitges itself is a wonderful seaside village with a beautiful old town, modern beachfront and many independent shops and eateries, it is in fact a food lovers paradise! Sitges is also very LGBTQ+ friendly and a great family destination with locals being tolerant and respectful to all, was great to witness. There are also a couple of clothing optional beaches if you're into the naturist lifestyle. Finally - Sitges Royal Rooms may NOT be for you if you're used to or prefer ultra modern characterless hotels. It's an old building with history, the fixtures and fittings sympathetically reflect this and the décor and furniture add to it's charm. We like this sort of thing therefore highly recommend.

This is a very special boutique hotel, situated on a block of mansions that were built by adventurers who returned after making their fortunes in Cuba (at least that's what our host told us). The hotel has about 9 rooms, plus an apartment entered from the garden in the back. (The excellent breakfast is served in the garden, which also hosts a Lebanese-style restaurant during the evening). The hotel is filled with sumptuous and fanciful decor. We stayed in the apartment -- which includes a galley kitchen, a massive armoire in the bedroom, and a delightful sitting room in the front. The host and staff are lovely. Highly recommended.
