Hotel terbaik di Cenicero

Habitación espectacular tanto en dimensiones/espacio como en comodidad de la cama. Ubicación céntrica. Difícil para aparcar, por lo que es recomendable coger el parking del hotel, por 8 euros la noche. Hasta aquí todo razonable. Las 3 estrellas vienen por su restaurante. No entendemos cómo un 4* puede tener este servicio tan...¿pésimo?. Decidimos ir al restaurante del hotel, esperando que siendo un 4*, fuera mejor opción. Nos pusimos a pedir de la carta y nos sueltan que la cocina no les funciona, habiendo dicho previamente que íbamos a picar algo, indicándonos el servicio dónde podíamos sentarnos para ello. Una persona pidió un sándwich, y su respuesta fue que no lo podían hacer; pedimos secreto ibérico, y que tampoco. Así que preguntamos qué podían preparar, y nos respondieron que preguntásemos y nos decían. ¿Dónde estaba la cámara oculta? Otra persona pidió patatas a la riojana, y nuestra sorpresa fue que ”vale”. Seguimos pidiendo algunas tapas, patatas con chédar y una ensalada mixta...Trajeron las patatas con queso chédar,y como a la media hora vienen, y que las patatas a la riojana no va a ser posible, que tenemos que cambiar el plato, así que se cambio por un pisto con huevo frito...Parecíamos tener suerte con el pisto!!! Total, que...Trayendo a cuentagotas y sin orden, los platos, a cada cual peor, decidimos pagar e irnos sin tomar ni postres ni cafés, ni nada. Una pena que un hotel de 4 estrellas tenga un servicio de restaurante tan malo.

We had wanted to stay here for a number of years, after it was so highly recommended by a friend. We had also planned and cancelled trips to the region twice, due to Covid and other plans getting in the way. We stayed here for 5 nights using Marriott points and it was nothing short of spectacular and awesome in every way! From the point we drove up the drive to the front door, to the time we left, the service and staff were always helpful and friendly and followed through on everything we asked them for or to do. We got upgraded from a Spa Terrace room to a main building Gehry room with an Elciego view, and although we lost the terrace, the room was amazing, spacious and comfortable. And being in the main building was very convenient. We had a rental car and self-parked, which was easy and convenient, right in the vineyard, between the spa building and the main building. We used the de Riscal as our base to explore and enjoy the Rioja wine region, taking a full day wine tour, going to Haro, Laguardia and Logrono, driving up to the mountains and just enjoying the deck at the de Riscal wine bar, as the weather was nice the entire time we were there! We also did the de Riscal winery tour, which is included in your hotel stay, and having been on many winery tours in Napa, Sonoma, France, Germany and now Spain, it is a very nice tour with very good wines for tasting, along with a nice tasting accompaniment afterwords! It seemed like hotel guests get a little smaller tour and more private tasting, but that could just be the day and time we did ours. Although I had not heard of their wines - like many Spanish wines - the operation is very large, even by U.S. standards. It's a very popular stop apparently, as even on Easter Sunday they had folks doing the tour by the busloads! We were celebrating a couple of occasions on this trip, and the meal at the Restaurant Gastronomic, the hotel's one star Michelin restaurant, was very much worth it. The food was all very good and well done, and the service was as expected in a starred Michelin restaurant. They made our celebration very special! As Titanium members, the breakfast in the 1860 ”Traditional” restaurant was included, and it was also very good! They had a buffet as well as a few items you could order every morning, with a special. We ate dinner in the Traditional twice, as we usually ended the day there rather than have dinner elsewhere in Rioja and drive back to the hotel. Again, the wine bar deck was good, and we had light snacks/pintxos there a couple of days and just enjoyed the weather and the view! The one drawback to the incredible location is that there are really no other places to eat that are close; you can walk into Elciego but the places there are nothing special. The upside is that the 3 choices at the hotel are all very good, depending on how much you want to spend! I used the gym twice during our stay, and while not large, it's decent sized with plenty of equipment.

We stayed for two nights in Viura and loved every minute! Great hospitality with lots of help and welcoming homey touches by a great team, special thanks to Marcos! Room was modern and really big with amazing views, very stylish, clean and perfect terrace to end the day with a glass of Rioja. The entire house speaks art and culture. Many cool pieces of contemporary art and artifacts. We had dinner the first night, which was delicious and with nice local touches. Breakfast in the morning is sumptuous with nice treats from the bakery, fresh eggs and cold cuts and lots of fruit. Overall a 10 out of 10, we will definitely return!

A lovely hotel, located 10 minutes walk away from the centre of Laguardia. We booked a superior room over looking the wine fields. The bed was massive and the morning views were tremendous. We booked breakfast one morning to see what it was like, it was ok and priced at €14 pp. The only down side was, if you didn't book a breakfast you had no access for a morning coffee until after the breakfast was served at 10.30am. There were no coffee making facilities in the room. The pool was very relaxing and exceptionally clean. We ate lunch at the hotel one of the days and both thoroughly enjoyed, which was reasonably priced also. Would highly recommend this hotel when visiting the Rioja wine region.

In the heart of LaGuardia, this was our favorite hotel on our trip thru La Rioja. Cleanliness, attention to detail, welcoming & friendliness made this stay an excellent experience. The room was very spacious & clean! The dining experience excellent both for breakfast & dinner. Our meals were well prepared and exactly how we ordered it. Definitely a place for us to revisit! Muchas Gracias to all the people at the hotel. Oscar y Lorena :-)
