La Rioja Alta 4 Stars Hotels

"This beautiful little gem is in the old section of Logrono. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were excellent and the location was perfect. Other reviewers’ complaints about the parking are really overblown—unless you’ve rented a car too big for the small streets you will encounter whenever you visit medieval European towns and cities. The hotel staff was happy to provide some parking coaching as needed. The small street on which the street is located is quiet and safe. The hotel is located three blocks from Laurel Street (LS) which is the renowned, festive, and delicious tapas section of town. LS can be pretty raucous on FR and SAT nights— too many bachelor/bachelorette parties but any other night, it’s a nice place to stroll with local cross-generational friends and families. The diners go from one cafe/bar to another to sample a broad array of tapas or “pintxos” as many are known north of Madrid—especially in the Basque region. I"

"A wonderful hotel in a peaceful setting along the river. A fantastic choice to escape the noise and crowds of tourists in the major cities visited. Hotel is very conveniently located to visit Rioja's best bodegas. Staff are lovely and most helpful in arranging tours. Hotel has one minor deficiency in a curiously noisy plumbing system."
