Palacio de Samaniego

It's one of the best boutique hotels I've ever been. All the details have been taken to make this jewel a fact. It's one of the best boutique hotels I've ever been to. Every detail has been carefully considered to make this a true gem.

There is a lot to recommend this hotel. Beautiful building, superb design throughout, inventive food and good staff in the restaurant. However the Reception staff are surly and the housekeeping staff forgetful. Despite booking this six months in advance, our Malvasia Junior Suite (appears to be Accessible) overlooks the bike park; has a single sink, no bath, is quite dark and is at the top of the stairs despite having asked for a quiet room. Whilst the room decor and bathroom are very good there are some omissions like no conditioner and a faulty toilet that continually has water running. I phoned the day before to ask for a Suite called Tempranillo and was told the hotel was full. I personally would have thought having booked six months ago that we might have been allocated a decent suite. In asking for the Manager on Friday I was told they were off work till Monday. Furthermore the receptionist proceeded to argue with me about the room view telling me no room had a view. Given that I had booked a second room called Viura this was not really true. That room has a view of the gardens and mountains beyond. On our second day there were no bathroom mats put in the room and wet towels in the basket were not changed on night one either. The two small bottles of water in the fridge were not replaced and Reception told us you only get two bottles on your first day. No more than that. Overall I would recommend the Palacio but they really need to train their staff better.

Fantastic hotel. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Very comfortable and stylishly decorated room. Delicious food in terrace restaurant (and that was the just the simple menu). Free use of high quality e-bikes, with helmets, rucksack and water provided. Can highly recommend.

What an outstanding hotel in a wonderful part of Spain. The decor throughout the hotel, as well as in the rooms, is unique and absolutely beautiful. Beyond the aesthetics, which are superb, each room was spotlessly clean, so comfortable, and thoroughly well-appointed with everything one could possibly need. The best asset of this hotel, however, are the people who work there. Every single person, from reception to concierge to wait staff, was wonderful. Their friendliness, warmth, and hospitality were exceptional. as was their eagerness to help us in any way we needed. The little town, and the surrounding areas and towns, are charming. There are many wineries in the vicinity and the vistas as you drive around are stunning. We truly enjoyed our stay at the Palacio de Samaniego and would not hesitate to stay there again.

We had not anticipated staying here but our hotel in LaGuardia let us know there was an all night party in the square so this was a last minute decision. We couldn’t have been happier. The staff was excellent, the room was large, AC worked well, very comfortable bed! We had lunch and the food was great (hamburger and Spanish omelette). We also stayed in for dinner one night and the food was outstanding! We did the tasting menu. It’s well worth the money. Not exaggerating to say Michelin quality.

The Hotel located in Samaniego, steps away form all great vineries of La Rioja, offers a unique experience! The venue has 9 suites, very large and taste full decorated, large and spacious! The Art is the center of the hotel, with a large privat collection of the Rotschild Family. We spend 2 nights with friends and enjoyed also the excellent breakfast. The Menu offer for dinner could be better and larger! will certainly recommend it!
