Palacio Tondon, la Rioja Brinas

One of the best if not the best hotel I’ve come across in a long time . Beautiful surroundings, lovely staff , very clean and the restaurant was good too . Breakfast in a small room , buffet and some cooked food served at the table was very relaxed. Lovely hot coffee , capsules . Definitely recommend booking a room with view of river. Reception staff very pleasant and helpful . Staff in bar /restaurant very good too . Borja and Jesus and their colleague make sure that you are well looked after and enjoy your meal . Highly recommend

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.

Amazing location and outstanding staff. We traveled with our four-year-old girl and the entire staff treated her special. The breakfast is great, and the view is something special. We will definitely return. Oh, the shower water pressure is to die for!

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.

To be honest, I cashed in a free night and was upgraded to a luxurious junior suite. The property is historic and charmingly located aside a river. Lovely terraced patio for drinks. Well stocked wine bar and on site restaurant. The village itself was quiet on a Monday night, as in, nothing was open. Our room was over the top gorgeous, with the best shower ever. Breakfast was outstanding, free parking, and perfect location in the Rojas’s wine region. Unfortunately, we couldn’t afford to stay a second night, but if you can, you should.

We booked for two nights and the website clearly showed the type of room to expect but if you keep swiping you see the terrible 3rd floor rooms that have no windows just a skylight with no view I would never have stayed at this hotel had we known we were in an attic we tried to move but we’re told there was no other choice the room itself was awful with the roof line reducing the actual usable room size by 50 per cent .The hotel itself looks tired and under staffed .We realised the restaurant was going to be a disaster and cancelled our booking to eat in it .The fitness room was just a room with nothing in it just an empty room.I would not recommend staying unless you know the actual room you are going to be in as the rooms in the attic will ruin your stay.

We had a lovely stay at Palacio Tondon. The hotel is clean and comfortable. The location right next to the Ebro River is very cool. They offer a nice breakfast every morning. The service is outstanding across the board…very friendly, helpful people.

I would not recommend Palacio. The building is beautiful but that’s really where it stops. We were only told 1 day before we arrived that the hotel had been bought by the Marriot. All the charm that we had originally booked for was definitely no longer there. If you book, be sure not to get a room on the 3rd floor. You won’t get a window, just a sky light with no view, and if you’re tall, you’ll hit your head on the attic eaves. In the rooms, the showers do not have a wall or door, so beware that you’re just showering in the middle of the room. They also give you just 2 flat pillows on the bed. For a 4 star hotel with hundreds of good reviews that was shocking. We had to request additional pillows which were brought to us, but that’s just one example of seriously lacking comforts for a room that costs so much. The waiters were all really nice, but it’s so clear they are severely understaffed and you feel bad asking for things The location is fine, but be aware you’ll have to drive everywhere. The only place to eat is the hotel, and the food is pretty uninspiring.

Beautiful hotel in a very pretty location by the river Ebro in a small village of Brinas. Very thoughtful and accommodating staff. Well decorated and functional rooms. We were on a 1st floor with a view of the river. The hotel has a nice terrace where breakfast and dinner is served. There is a very pretty trail along the river from the hotel to wineries in Haro. Takes about 40 min to get there. Breakfast was plentiful - the only issue was a chaotic service at breakfast on a first day we were there but it improved the following days.
