We upgraded to a balcony room when we arrived, which I highly recommend - the views are STUNNING and it was really amazing to sit out and enjoy the view with a glass of wine. The tasting room is down the hill from the hotel, and easy to walk down for a glass. Room was spacious and comfortable.
The only challenge we had was with eating - unfortunately due to the combination of it being during the week and low season, neither the tasting room kitchen nor the hotel restaurant kitchen were open from about 3-8pm, so no food was available. It would have been nice to be able to have a small snack or pintxo available during that time.
But overall, pleasant staff, easy location in the area, absolutely beautiful setting. Would recommend.

Frontdesk- Horrible Customer Service

I booked Hotel Eguren Ugarte expecting a relaxing experience, but it turned into a stressful stay. I was given a smoking room, despite having asthma and clearly explaining my condition to the staff. They did not offer any resolution. Only when my husband noticed other available rooms did they say we could switch—but only if we paid extra. In the end, we had no choice but to pay for an upgrade just so I could stay without risking an emergency room visit.
The front desk personnel were unhelpful and dismissive, and the manager was unavailable to speak with us for the entire 24 hours of our stay. For a property of this level, this level of customer service is beyond unacceptable.
The vineyard and the property itself are beautiful, and their Grande Reserve wine (not the regular Reserve) is nice. But customer service at the hotel is beyond bad. I would NOT recommend staying here.

El hotel bodega es realmente una maravilla en toda su expresión. Desde la cálida bienvenida en su recepción, a la increíble sorpresa de descender a la habitación la cual te impresiona al ver su bodega y de la ventana a sus viñedos.
Sus dos restaurantes son fabuloso, el tour y degustación de vinos es espectacular.

Our second time staying, returning after 9 years and this time with parents and our 1 year old. Still a wonderful hotel, service is very friendly and helpful, the location is incredible as are the views. Breakfast was lovely and a very good selection, evening meals were also very good and wines to match. Only slight issue was the air conditioning in the rooms was not very effective. Overall highly recommended and would be very happy to return again in the future.

Absolutely marvelous in every way. The Hotel and it's staff very nice. The grounds and vineyard amazing and the wine tour was good. Only two minimal things I would have liked different, they have two restaurants but both have a closed very limited menu and secondly the \"bar/cocktail/hangout\" area was lacking. These two minor flaws in no way detract from the charm and loveliness of this hotel. I would definately go back in a heartbeat.

A very dramatic and awe inspiring hotel and location. Bit disappointed that dinner was fully booked the night of our stay so advise booking restaurant ahead as well as your reservation. But alternative local restaurant was excellent and we were ferried to and from by the waiter! Wine v good. Tour was a bit long and only 3 wines sampled but that said an impressive set up

An excellent hotel in heart of beautiful La Rioja

Our room was spacious, modern, clean with a wonderful comfortable bed. The shower was a modern spa shower with seat. The views over the surrounding vineyards were breathtaking. We had a set evening meal which was of exceptional high standard. The breakfast of fruit, pastries, hams, cheese etc and scrambles eggs if required was excellent and taken in the dining room with its incredible views. We stayed here last year and are already planning to stay next year.

Great escape

The room was quite modern - perhaps a little too modern for us since the bathroom door was transparent glass giving no privacy to someone sitting on the toilet. But the room was comfortable - with a great view of the spectacular countryside. Like being on a cruise ship. In May, the AC wasn't yet on, so the window had to stay open. In came the bugs and the voices of those on their balconies. Nonetheless, it was a delightful and very special place.

The best hotel that we have stayed in during our 2 week drive around northern Spain. The food was outstanding. It's a set menu each evening, always different but there isn't a choice. It is sensationally good though for the €30 per person price. 4 courses, a bottle of wine and water.

Room was stunning. Very large (standard) stunning views of the vineyards all the way to snow capped mountains in the distance. The bathroom had 2 sinks and an amazing waterfall or 4 way jet shower

In with the price you get a free tour of the wine cellar and a free tasting. Plenty of things to see and do within a short drive.

Superb!!!!

Excellent hotel but restaurant fully booked!!!

This was a really good hotel with excellent rooms and beautiful views over the vineyards. The staff were very helpful and polite. It was situated aout 2 kilometres outside Laguardia - too far to walk to the restaurants there.
On arrival we tried to book for dinner both nights of our stay. We were so disappointed to find the restaurant fully booked both nights by a Dutch wine tour party staying at the hotel. We had so looked forward to the dinner with the accompanying wine and food talk as part of the experience of staying in La Roja. The hotel suggested a restaurant in Laguardia that offered a car service. We took this as an option on the first night. The food was good but expensive. On the second day we had a good lunch in Laguardia and got back at 4pm for the free wine tasting at the hotel vineyard only to find that there had been cancellations by some of the wine tour for dinner that night and there were now places available! Unfortunately we were too full to eat another large meal.
We loved the hotel but feel that it is important they should be able to offer dinner to all guests as this is part of the experience of staying at this hotel.

Wow hotel, great find

This hotel is amazing; huge beautiful property. Located right at the winery rooms are big, comfortable, modern amenities and decor, great location & free group tour of winery included in stay. Winery is pretty & the elevator u take to your room is glass, allowing you to see the huge barrel room; cool design.
My disappointment was with service. Staff is pleasant but not outstanding. They do the basic & offer nothing else so a bit cold. My personal opinion is it is training & language. All desk staff could communicate in English but maybe because they are not comfortable communicating in English didn't provide a proper overview of property, amenities, wine tours or even ask if we knew of the wine brand, I guess they just were not as welcoming but don't let that deter you from this places it is a great value & I have no idea how a place of this standard is rated as a 1 star & not a 4, it has amenities & I would compare it to a Westin hotel room & aloft service stay. Parking is free & Internet is available In room. Laguardia is a pretty town about a 5minute drive from hotel & has plenty of restaurants for dinner but hotel also has a good restaurant but dinner is a set menu.

Honeymooner!

We stayed here as part of our honeymoon trip of the north of Spain. Lovely hotel in the La Rioja region. Great for wine lovers! Incredible views and lots of places to explore and learn about the Ugarte's family history within the hotel's grounds. No bar, or drink options other than wine, part of the regions charm - I guess! A little disapointing when you have been driving for hours in the heat and could go a nice cool beer! Great food & shower facilities - is like your own sauna! Wifi signal is good too, which is a bonus if u r like me and take it for granted!

Highly recommend.

Fantastic hotel!!

This hotel was fantastic! I have NO idea how or why this hotel is rated only a 1 star. Granted there isn't a pool, or spa, or tennis courts, but the hotel itself is beautiful! Absolutely beautiful. It overlooks endless vineyards, there are gorgeous mountains to the north and south of the hotel and you can see beautiful Laguardia to the east. It is a great home base to visit all the neighboring towns. With your stay you get a free tour of the winery and you can walk the vineyards. This hotel is clean, comfortable, and offers evening dining if you choose not to venture out. I definitely and highly recommend this hotel. You will not be disappointed. Idk who does the star rating in Spain but this place needs to be reevaluated and given the proper and appropriate rating.

Good hotel integral to a lovely family run bodega.

We enjoyed our two nights here. They upgraded our room to one overlooking the broad landscape and vineyards, which was beautiful.

The bodega us very interesting and the wines, especially the Reserva, are excellent. Restaurant serves very good food, though the set menu can be restrictive.

Staff were universally helpful and very pleasant.

We wanted to buy some wine on the morning we left, but the shop was closed because the person running it was taking a group on a tour. An additional staff member to ensure the shop stays open might be worthwhile.

New hotel with no welcoming nature

This is a beautiful new hotel with a breathtaking view and wonderfully fresh breakfast but has no welcoming atmosphere. For a boutique hotel situated in a vineyard the service and hospitality were completely absent. We were traveling through wine country and would have loved a little guidance on where to go or help in making reservations to taste wine but we were only given a map of the area. Every time we walked in and out of the hotel we were not even acknowledged or given a hello. Customer service and kindness are big in my book especially when traveling through an area for the first time. I would not stay at this hotel again.

Perfect platform for la rioja

smack in the middle of the fantastic wine country of last rioja, nothing about this hotel disappoints -- from the price (shockingly low) to the discounts on the wine and the free tour of the winery and caves to the complimentary mini bar and affordable dinner for two with a closed menu (67 euro for two). breakfast was great, service was considerate and English speaking, and I cannot say enough about the view from our room. perhaps the only complaint which I can fathom is the glass door to the attached bathroom and lack of sound proofing.... your business will be heard by anyone in your hotel room. that being said, the shower was luxuriant, the double vanity spacious, and the wine above average and very affordable. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to visit the region, you can literally see several other vineyards from the front of the hotel.

Very traditional Basque cuisine. Our waiter Paulo was great and recommended a restaurant for dinner the following night. There was no sense of competition between hotels, bodegas, and restaurants.
