Spacious and quiet room. I did not have any interaction with the staff other than the person at the reception who was not that helpful during the check in process. I have to say that the cleaning staff was very efficient providing clean towels everyday, I thank them for being nice even though I didn't meet them.

The website said that there were smoking areas, but there were not any. The description said that no pets were allowed yet multiple nights we were kept awake by a dog that barked nonstop. No English was spoken by any of the staff; thankfully, I speak Spanish. The water pressure was not great and hot water was not readily available. If you’re looking for a place to sleep that is clean and comfortable in city center without a bunch of accommodations or American luxuries, you will be fine. The staff was kind and helpful. The room was clean. The beds were comfortable and the room had air-conditioning. We could not get the TV to work, but they did have Wi-Fi and good cell service. Overall, I would stay at the property again and pray, no one brought an annoying dog!

We showed up early and the front desk person was not helpful. When we were finally allowed in to our room, there were no towels. We asked for some and they didn't have any. We couldn't leave until we showered and had to wait a few hours until We finally got some at 16:00. Poor service all around.

Hotel El Sid is located a couple of blocks from parque santiago. the neighborhood is very qyuiet, very close to el centro, the parque has dancing on tuesday nights to the sounds of big bands and everyone dances. one block from bus routes to celestun, progresso, etc. There is a pool, no restaurant at the hotel, but lots of cafes in the market at parque santiago...movie theater, grocery store, a couple of pharmacies...i found it ideal.
