The wines here go without saying that they are delicious and they have a great wine list from simple to the depths of your pockets. 1860 Tradición restaurant has excellent menu and great quality food that will not disappoint and the view from its Terrance is simply put, Splendid! Appetizer we had the Croquetas and the Carpaccio de gamba. Carpaccio was delicious and refreshing and won. Great pick of solomillo with jamón and patatatas for The kids. La merluza and adult solomillo were both great dishes and recommend. Would definitely recommend a lunch here which provides great views of the surrounding city.

Was a cool modern hotel in the midst of a tiny village in Rioja between Haro and Logrono. Was a…read morewonderful place, nice staff, and had a nice dinner at the hotel. The only negative was a very hard, uncomfortable bed, and could not view menu online. So I'll post photos... Bummer was the small village had no wine tasting till the next morning and you could only do a tour. I've toured many wineries in my day and just wanted to taste local wine, but it wasn't possible in this village. Kind of a bummer.

This is a beautiful little hotel in the center of the Rioja Alta region between Haro and Logrono…read more There are several tasting rooms within a walking distance which is rare for Spain. Wine tasting in Spain is not what it is in California in that the wineries are really difficult to get to without a car or through an expensive tour group. Therefore, being able to stay in an area where you can walk to tasting rooms is a nice find. Beware however that the hotel is one of only 2 places you can eat within a walking distance. In the church courtyard is the second. On the plus side, not only are the tasting rooms and wineries just a short walk away, so are some breathtaking vistas of the Northern Rioja vineyards as they back up to the mountains. Definitely worth a few days just to unwind in the natural beauty. Definitely take a short walk up the road behind the church toward the mountains early morning and your eyes and senses will be rewarded!

*super racist* This was the worst most embarrassing…read moreexperience I've had in my life. My boyfriend and I went to the hotel restaurant for dinner and our waiter Asier was an OKAY waiter at best. At the end of our dinner Asier made a comment about my hair. Mind you, I am African American and I wear extensions. He felt the need to tell me that my hair was "not perfect" and that he sees the imperfection in my hair. The comment was very offensive. And on top of that, we get back to our hotel and then hostess sees that me and my boyfriend are obviously upset. So she asks what's wrong and my boyfriend tells her how disrespectful he found the whole ordeal. She calls the restaurant and Asier is still arguing. Speaking over her and cutting her off when she was trying to tell him how rude and offensive he was to us. Mind you I can hear him while standing across the desk from her and he is basically saying that he is in the right on saying what he said. The whole time she is trying to explain to this man that basically he doesn't have to say everything that comes to his mind. At the end of the day, I was super embarrassed and I will not be returning to this city ever again. If this is how they treat their guests from afar i have no interest in visiting and anyone that is not what they normally see on a day to day, just be aware of how they treat visitors that do not look like them. I would give this zero stars if I could

Yes, it's a Marriott and, yes, it's soulless and Corporate and the bar was deserted but the room was comfortable and well appointed and the staff were friendly without being over-familiar. I couldn't really fault it but, suffice to say, I won't remember a thing about it after a few weeks. Oh and it's a little way from all the action downtown but that shouldn't really put you off. You gets what you pays for.

An excellent hotel, pity about the rude self-absorbed staff…read more Though located 10-15 minutes away from the heart of dining and party street, this hotel is certainly worth it. It is clean and a little on the fancy side, given the recent renovations. The gym is a bit scary n dodgy as it is in a poorly lit thoroughfare to the car park. Their restaurant is average for western prices for dinner. breakfast is great though and they let you make (sneaky) sandwiches for your road trip for the day. free Wifi for first 24hrs. staff at reception come across as rude and frustrated when you turn up to check-in, check-out or ask for help of any sort. Guess I interrupted their nail filing session. Restaurant staff are really nice though. They try very hard to please.

It takes around 35 minutes to drive from the hotel to central San Sebastián. We asked the hotel reception for a map and they recommended us where to park close to San Sebastián Old Town which was very useful. They didn't have that much information about which pintxos bar to visit however. It's good to know that some bars are open for lunch and close during the afternoon and open again for dinner. And other bars only open at night.

Classic and beautiful but not too much. The bathroom was newly renovated and the sheets were clean. Only thing we didn't like was the home scent they had sprayed in the room prior to our arrival. If you get hungry there's both the Bailara restaurant (by Enrique Fleischmann) and a snack menu in the bar, in the Iriarte Jauregia Hotel buildning. Tip to guests: Book far in advance to get a better rate. Tip to Iriarte Jauregia: You should definately do something about the big electricity pylon in front of the hotel that destroys the view.
