Hôtel Subur

"Overall, I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The staff was friendly, the location was excellent, and the breakfasts were very filling and varied. I was a little disappointed with the tired-looking room, especially in the bathroom, where the tiles had been inexplicably painted over."

"This hotel is in an old building with extremely poor soundproofing. I had a room with a balcony which looked onto the side street directly onto flats opposite. There was no sheer curtain in the room, only a blackout curtain. So you can either have the curtain open and no privacy, or closed and no daylight. The room was clean and functional, but nothing special. The bed was surprisingly comfortable (hard, which I like). The shower was very low pressure and after a few minutes turned to scalding hot for a few seconds, before going back to normal temperature. The breakfast buffet was excellent and included healthy cereal, fruit, museli and yoghurt choices, as well as pancakes and pastries and cooked options. The worst thing for me was the fact that the walls are paper thin. I was there during the film festival, so there was a lot of noise in the street, well into the early hours of the morning. Unfortunately I had noisy neighbours above and below me who kept me awake all night, to the extent that the following night I had to go down to reception at 3am and ask to sleep elsewhere. The receptionist was very understanding and gave me another room, where I was able to sleep. Although that room stank of drains and had a drip in the bathroom, (which luckily I couldn't hear once I closed the bathroom door). The hotel does have a 'strict policy' of no noise between certain hours at night, but people just don't respect them, plus when the receptionist tried to call my neighbours, he found they had unplugged their phone. I guess I was unlucky, but if you are going to book this place, be warned about the noise and take ear plugs!"

"The location of Hotel Subur is excellent: right on the (usually busy) seafront boulevard and just steps from the beach. In October, however, the atmosphere is pleasantly calm. Room 201 offered a fantastic view, which really made the stay special. The room has a summery charm, though some signs of wear and tear are noticeable. Breakfast was okay, nothing special, and served in a rather dated sports bar. Still, the combination of the great location and the sea view makes this hotel a good choice for a beachside stay in Sitges."
