Palacio Tondon, la Rioja Brinas

We are currently staying at the hotel. We love the location, the views, the facilities, and vibes of the hotel. The best part of our stay was enjoying the bar and restaurant. Borja and Natalia are super stars! They are personable, knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about their job, the area, and making everyone feel welcome. They both helped not only choose our wines, but they provided us with recommendations for Haro and explained everything about the hotel. The breakfast team was also amazing. The only cons were the check in team. We felt that they lack attentiveness. Also, no robes and slippers in the room. Finally, we were celebrating our anniversary and there was no recognition by the check in team (we are in Rioja and no complimentary wine was provided) and no titanium upgrade was given.

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.

Excellent hotel. Small town - quite romantic to enjoy some relaxing time. The hotel staff was super helpful and accomodating. The food delicious and you can sip the best wines. the hotel rooms are gorgeous- we had one overlooking the Ebro. You are also close to great wineries and beautiful towns like El ciego and La Guardia.

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.

Beautiful property on the riverside. Our room was spacious, with a view of the river. Breakfast was a buffet with ham, cheese, toast, smoked trout, fruits and pastries. The village is very cute, Bodegon de Ayala is a good restaurant nearby

Beautiful hotel with beautiful view in a small town. The wine cellar was amazing, we did a wine tasting with amazing tempranillos. They had a cafe with great food. Close to all the best wineries and walking distance from Vega Scilia. We would definitely come here again.
