Hotel Medium Renaixença

The accommodation impresses with high cleanliness standards and convenient location near the center, beach, and shops. Guests appreciate the friendly staff and excellent breakfast options at sister properties.

Ignore the three-star branding. When it comes to aesthetics, design, thinking and staff, this hotel is way more than that. With a beautiful creative ethic of aligning the old and the new, the hotel and its neighbouring venue are a vintage treat. Quiet, not racing with kids and needy pushchairs and loud tourists, the Renaixenca is a chilled refuge in the heart of the Sitges you want to be in. The breakfast room and its rich array of food, meats, fruits, cooked food, pastries, juices, local cheeses and meats, cereals, cakes, pancakes, breads and fizz will need photos! The three hour breakfast window also sees all food topped up until the last minute. Our room was welcoming and traditional, with all the trappings one needs and a daily tidy up and top up of all amenities. The staff are all genuinely friendly and welcoming, but also leave you alone so your stay is on your terms. A tiny issue was dealt with promptly and efficiently, the air-con and interiors are chilled in all the ways and you cannot get a classier, genuine hotel so near to the main *****, shops, train station and beach routes.

We normally stay at the Medium Sitges Park, which was fully booked and is just around the corner so the location was perfect for us - in the town centre but not in the crazy night life of Sitges (but close enough to walk it in 5 minutes!). We had room 3 on the ground floor of the grand old building with original doors onto the rear terrace, with a small cordoned off private area for the room and a few tables and chairs in an open area accessed from the public area that used to be the reception (never saw anyone there apart from the maintenance man). Incidentally, reception / check in is around the corner at another Medium chain hotel. Brits - don't get hung up on the name "Medium" - its the name of the chain and not a description of the hotel, especially the Medium Sitges Park, which is lovely! The bathroom was small with a half sized bath (with a shower over). There are 3 more rooms on the ground floor (two at the front with no balcony), 6 on the first floor (two or three with access to a large rear balcony) and 5 on the second floor, with no outside space. Saying that, there is a very underused solarium on the roof with beds and a nice raised seating area. Could do with a jet wash and a lick of paint but nice enough. We were the only ones who used it so I suspect many of the other guests were at the beach. The room had good air con, a fridge (only really suitable for drinks) and a smallish flat screen TV in the corner. No UK Channels (or even BBC World / CNN / SKY) but there was France 24 in English.
