Palacio Tondon, la Rioja Brinas

Parking was complicated

Acceptable Had to change room three times due to issues but once settled it was fine. Rooms are okay, need to keep on top of maintenance with showers leaking. Breakfast was good - location also good .

Great for 2-3 day stay close to Haro Great location in the tiny, beautiful village Briñas by the river and a 25 min walk to the train station district in Haro. Great decor, fantastic breakfast and a nice patio by the river for drinks or a bite to eat. They seemed to be understaffed in the restaurant and you had to wait a long time for orders, the 2-3 people who actually worked did everything they could and were very nice and professional. It’s all very newly renovated, however there are a few things that might be a problem in the longer run - eg the shower was leaking, and as it was in the middle of the room it was wet next to thw bed after taking a shower. Very much to recommend for a 2-3 day stay in Haro region.

Beautiful hotel by the river. In a small nondescript but really beautiful and peaceful village. Felt totally out of this world. Room size is ok, room is nice and contemporary. Expensive toilet fittings. Window overlooks the river, which is soothing to look at. If I could draw or paint, it would be a perfect spot to do so. The only flaw is the interior designer focused only on the aesthetics and didn’t pay more attention to function (hence my rating of 4 rather than 5). Shower cubicle is all glass; could be really sexy but it would be nice to have some private moments, even if you are traveling with your partner. I imagine it would be odd if traveling with a friend. There was nowhere to hang your towel after a shower, except to hang it in the toilet with the toilet bowl, which doesn’t feel quite sanitary or pleasant to me. Dining room is charming and breakfast room is even more so. Hotel staff are helpful and polite. The hotel is a leisurely but long (45 minutes) stroll or a 5 minute drive to the wineries at Haro (Muga, CVNE). If you feel like eating something different, a small cafe / bar just a stone’s throw away from the hotel entrance, managed by a lovely lady, serves delicious food at super reasonable prices. The hotel has no parking available but you can park anywhere around the hotel so long as you don’t block anyone’s entrance.

Nice place old school combined with new school

The hotel was in a really cute quiet town. Beautiful hotel, my room had a great view of the river. Excellent breakfast and the restaurant's dinner menu was spectacular.
