Silken Villa de Laguardia

Loveed the area

El hotel está muy bien y todo el mundo es muy amable. Lo nalo es que, si no funciona el ascensor para llegar al pueblo, hay una buena cuesta para llegar.

Room was great , staff friendly and professional.

Sehr guter Standort, ideal für Wanderungen im Weingebiet und viele Bodegas mit dem Auto schnell erreichbar.

Lovely hotel! Great and spacious rooms. Cosy but not claustrophobic. Very short walk to the local town of Laguardia which has very cute restaurants. A bit out of the way to get to but very worth it!

Voor de tweede keer in dit hotel. Zeer ruime kamer. Uitgebreid ontbijt buffet. Werd steeds goed aangevuld. Fijn zwembad met voldoende zonnebedjes. Er werd eindelijk eens op gelet dat men niet het bedje bezet hield dmv handdoekje leggen. Op loopafstand van het mooie oude centrum wat te bereiken is met een lift. Erg fijn verblijf gehad in het fantastisch mooie Rioja-gebied.

Ótima localização, limpeza, segurança e atendimento ótimo.

Hôtel de standing et de style ancien sur 3 étages . A savoir les chambres du dernier étage ont un grand hublot a la place des fenêtres . Il y a un grand parking gratuit et un payant en sous sol. La piscine est magnifique et agréable en été le jardin est un plus. Le petit déjeuner est bon. l hôtel est proche du centre ville, il faut prendre l'ascenseur qui est en face du radar pour monter au centre ville historique. Nous avons passé un agréable séjour

Mooi hotel, in alle opzichten. Heel leuke tuin en mooi zwembad. Idem wat betreft ontbijt. Vriendelijk personeel aan balie en in gans hotel.

A great hotel in a amazing quirky little town. Hotel was clean and easily accessible. Pool was nice and outdoor drink service. Parking was easy, statf pleasant and polite and helpful. Only downfall is the hotel feels a bit dated. Really needs upgrading. Its a short walk upto the town. We learnt in the second day that theres actually a elevator take you upto the town. Saves you walking up the hill.

Skønt hotel af høj klasse, stort værelse, stort badeværelse (eneste anke, aircondition kunne ikke køle værelet ned). Fint solrigt poolområde. Vi havde 1/2 pension, inkl 1/1 flaske vin pr. par og du kan frit vælge 1 forret, hovedret og dessert. Tilkøb ekstra drikkevarer til skarpe priser

Limpieza de 10 y servicio también

Excelentes instalaciones y magnifico desayuno. Personal amable. Muy buena ubicación fuera del casco viejo de la ciudad.

The stay was pleasant, but only thing missing was a coffee machine in the room.

Muito boa . O hotel oferece um bom café da manhã e bom atendimento no restaurante. Pôde-se ir andando ao centro histórico de Laguardia.

No AC

Es la mejor opción para alojarse en un lugar tranquilo y espacioso en Laguardia, el personal un 10!

Muy agradable,

Todo perfecto

Hemos pasado solo una noche, y me ha parecido un sitio estuiendo

Acogedor y muy bonito decorado

Overdag slecht personeel aan de receptie. S nachts onmogelijke Spaanse onbeschofte man . De nacht ervoor echter een geweldige goed Engels sprekende vrouw . Hulpvaardig , elegant en beleefd .

Friendly personnel. Great location

We stayed here for 7 nights. The service throughout was excellent. Very helpful staff at reception and in the restaurants. All we're keen to help, and did so with a friendly manner. The room (upgraded from standard) was spacious and generally very practical (although a bedside table in both sides would be an improvement). The style is older/traditional but also very functional. On one night, the weather was cooler than normal and some heating in the room would have been more comfortable but it was still acceptable and perfectly good the rest of the week. Food and service at breakfast and dinner, were very good indeed. Again the staff couldn't have been more helpful. We used the spa every day. It has a very good range of jacuzzis, jets plus a sauna, steam room, a very warm pool and an 'icy' pool too. All very good. (€22/day if not part of your room cost). Plenty of free parking is available in the hotel grounds. Easily walkable to the town itself. It is quite a steep climb but there is also a lift from outside the town walls, up to the town gate. An excellent place to visit the town and surrounding area.

El hotel está bien, pero necesita un poco renovarse. Al principio no teníamos sitio para aparcar y tuvimos que aparcar fuera del hotel. El servicio amable

Nice hotel located within a short walk of Laguardia walled Town and within the local wine region.

Todo muy correcto

Muy buen hotel con buen restaurante,personal de recepcion y de restaurante muy agradable y eficiente

Well located with friendly service. Our room was very spacious, equipped with a fridge. It’s a perfect pit stop to enjoy LaGuardia’s amazing wines!

Everything comes with a price here. They charge water, corkscrew and won't allow you to checkout late, not even for 30 mins, unless you pay. My room is okay, but kind of old, and the spa can be recommended but I don't think the water is very clean. Good thing is that you can enjoy it almost empty in the morning, of course, if you paid for it.

The staff were supper helpful, especially the young apprentice lady on reception. The food on restaurant was disappointing, not a four star offering. Fish don’t taste very fresh.

Beautiful quiet property. Walk to elevator to go up to the old town Wish we could stay longer but we will be back

A great property in a beautiful wine country part of Spain.

Very pleasant modern hotel with a spa situated on the edge of a glorious mediaeval village.

A

The Silken Hotel Laguardia is very well situated near the bottom of the hill below Laguardia. It is only a 10-12 minute walk up the hill (hint, use the elevator to save yourself some of the climb). The hotel rooms are comfortable and clean. Mine was on the third floor with a good view out over the surrounding countryside and its many, many vineyards. The pool area was nice and the buffet breakfast good. Laguardia itself is wonderful, with many wine cellars or caves (literally, dug down below the buildings and streets). The mechanical clock in the small town square with traditional dancers is also not to be missed. Finally, the expansive views from the tree-shaded promenade all around the north end of the village are also special.

Great location!!!!

Room was very nice. Enjoyed patio. Eva at front desk was exceptional!!! Totally enjoyed our stay

La recomiendo como punto estratégico para pasar un par de noches y conocer las bodegas y viñedos , así como disfrutar de Laguardia. El hotel posee hidroterapia y vale la pena incluir el servicio en tu reserva. El menú del restaurante es de pocas opciones. Posee parqueo disponible.

Front desk was very helpful on arrival. Very good parking area. Beds were comfortable. Ground floor room had it's own secluded patio which was a nice bonus. Short walking distance to the old town. Would stay there again.

Loved this hotel. Easy to find and safe on-site parking Wonderful breakfast and the beautiful village of Laguardia a 7 min walk away. Perfect.

Nothing at all to dislike, this is an excellent hotel, well placed to visit the town and with friendly helpful staff. Also it has some very nice wines for sale.

Great location with an easy walk to the old city. Very clean and quite.

Like: spacious Hotel and room / nice bar and restaurant / free outdoor parking Dislike: Room quite bare and bath looks dirty and in need of a refurbishment. they did not have a iron that I could borrow for 10minutes.

Everyone was excellent, food was great at the hotel’s restaurant and whole staff extremely helpful. Only minor thing A/C did not work properly. Definitively will go back!!

Nice and Clean Place Very Closed to Laguardia

close to town . Bike locker was helpful. Breakfast was expensive

Lovely hotel, very friendly staff in a great location a short walk from the historic town.

The good - its located only a short walk from town. The spa is excellent so would suggest adding a round in the spa facilities to your package. The spa staff were great. The pool is tiny and the loungers were taken each time we tried to relax in the sun but I guess it was nice to have the option. The breakfast was also ok for the money and enough to fill you up; the staff were smiley and cheery and made a great start to the day. The beds were comfy and even the basic rooms large. The place was very clean and the views from the lift were fantastic. The bad - I communicated with the hotel before my trip to ask them to help organise taxis or transport. They weren't particularly helpful and just stopped responding. In the end we booked our taxis and bus tickets through my friend's hotel where the customer service was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. The evening service in the restaurant was almost farcical with only one personal allowed to seat people and take orders it took almost 15 minutes to be seated and a further 15 mins for someone to take our order. There was a storm the first night and the ceilings of two of our three rooms leaked - there was no apology whatsoever and the attitude was that we were lucky that they were able to house us in other rooms. The shower was broken in our first room and the lights didn't work but as we switched rooms this didn't affect us.

Great older hotel. Breakfast was good, parking available, room very nice. Although outside the walls, it's an easy walk from the hotel up to the walled city of LaGuardia. Assistance at the front desk was "spotty". Sometimes they were helpful, other times they saw us waiting and we were ignored until we stated we needed assistance.

God location on edge of La Guardia with free parking on site. We didn’t eat in the restaurant or use the amenities. Poor shower that sprayed everywhere!

I am not able to recommend this hotel. We stayed through Xmas and if I could I would downgrade it from 4 to 2 stars. With two exceptions all staff is impolite, rude and they could not care less (including management). If you wish to stay in a noisy room (including hear other customers using their bathrooms), not well maintained (same issues described by other customers here as well) have a staff without a clue of what customer care is, feel cold and hungry during winter and pay a lot for the little it offers than this is definitely your place! Good luck!

Dated,Dreary. Television did not work. Tiny shower.

A nice hotel in an amazing little town in the Rioja Alavesa region. Since I was there on business I couldn't take advantage of all the spa options, but the region and the hotel are worthy of another visit at a later time...

Clean, comfortable, good meals, useful car park, nicely set out and good location.

The reception staff was helpful and friendly. The room was clean but worn. It had dim lighting and tired-looking furnishings. The pool was closed for the season, and there was a 20 euro charge to use the spa. It is difficult to believe that this hotel was rated 4 stars.

Very nice stay in our comfortable room and beautiful hotel. Easy to get to the bodegas. Front desk was excellent. Parking space was scarce. Only issue was the bartender in the cafeteria - sarcastic, surley, served the wrong wine and insisted that was what we ordered - really? Ask for white and get red?

Pleasant stay. Good room and bar. Didn't stay long enough to make use of facilities. A bit hot at night at the end of July. Easy walk into town.

staff tells you NO first than check whether your request can be done and than do it with unhappy attitude

My wife and I loved every minute of our stay where we were encouraged to enjoy the festivities of the fiesta.

Nothing special

Pillows created problems as only one extra in the room. I had an uncomfortable night with the pillow problem. Otherwise all well. Reception staff excellent

The walled city of Laguardia was charming and can be seen all in one day. Restaurante Castillo El Collado (lovely outdoor patio for sightseeing and hanging with the locals playing cards) and Batzokia Restaurante (Julio the owner is absolutely wonderful and serviced us with 100% attention) are well priced and the cuisine was the best by far in the walled city! We highly recommend wine tour/tasting and LUNCH at this 150 old old winery Eguren Ugarte Winery.The caves are unbelievable to see in person. Get a driver/taxi that you can split with other couples at the hotel, 12 euros. YSIOS winery is a must see if you are keen to see Calatrava's architecture of this modern winery. The wine museum (perfect for families) at Valdelana was a nice treat to see all the artifacts of wine making process etc. About a 20 minute drive to see Hotel Viura is a must see! Exceptional modern design, eclectic interior design. Pop into to have a glass of wine in the outdoor patio, or their artistic cafe inside for a waygu burger and frites! Delicious! We stopped into Haro to see a photography exhibit at Bodegas Roda. "MARIDAJES" FOTOGRAFÍA DE ARQUITECTURA is on until November 2017. Our experience in this region was filled with architecture, design, history, and exceptional views from the mountainous roads.

Comfortable and satisfying 3 night stay here in July. Easy parking and friendly check in. Room had a view over the vinyards of a large bodega nearby. Just a 10 minute walk into Laguardia which was pleasant but busy and quite expensive. Room in need of a bit upgrading in places especially in bathroom where overhead shower wouldn't stay in place and the sealant for shower door had fallen off. Aircon also fairly ineffective. However, clean, quiet and comfortable. New floor covering (laminate) also due. We did upgrade to include the spa package and used it twice. Be mindful of limited opening hours and make sure to book in advance although it wasn't busy when we were there. A bathing cap (even for a bald man!) and flip flops also required. Impressive facilities though. Outside pool area also nice especially when getting used to road noise over the hedge. We dined here twice. A compact set menu including three courses, bottle of wine, water and coffee cost 18 euros each (24 at weekend).Very good food at an excellent price especially compared to the old town in Laguardia. All in all a very positive experience.

This well-appointed hotel is just outside the wall of the medieval town of Laguardia, but the short walk is simple and pleasant, especially the descent back to the hotel! The pool provided a welcome respite from the heat of July, and the spa probably appeals to many looking for a more upscale experience. We visited three wineries, including Bodegas Solar Viejo, just across A-3228 on the way to Poblado de la Hoya. The Bodegas Solar Viejo stayed open into the siesta hour just for our unscheduled visit and tasting of three great wines. The museum curator at Poblado de la Hoya came out of his office to walk us around the museum and explain the digs (yacimientos) outside. Food was terrific in Laguardia, but we heard that this hotel also has a very fine restaurant. The staff was extremely helpful and attentive, completing a perfect experience here.

We stayed there for a couple of nights whilst we explored the surrounding vineyards. It was a nice place to stay and the staff were very helpful The room was spacious and clean

Without the pool and spa (neither available but it was January) this hotel is a two star at best. Faded, a little tatty and with an over-active heating system, the stay was not a comfortable one. However, the staff were great and the dining experience was very good indeed. Actually, the restaurant was the best part of the stay.

Very helpful staff But hotel needs updating Bathtub peeled difficult to get it abd shower head all over Nice feeling of sourroundings

I enjoyed the spa , but it was a bit of a walk into the town . The lift did make it easier though I did feel alittle uneasy walking alone back to the hotel later in the evening.

Laguardia was a fascinating place to visit. Lots to do and see. Tapas is great

good restaurants and helpful staff dddddddddd kdkd kdkdk kdkdkdk

Great location for those who are able to walk hills and steps up to the walled city of Laguardia. Wonderful views of the Rioja vineyards from our room. Parking at the hotel is great. Beds are nice. Very helpful front desk staff.

Something about this hotel just misses being fantastic. It has all the amenities you want or need. The staff are friendly and make an effort to communicate with guests of all languages. If your looking for a nice place to stay while you tour La Rioja, it's good value for the money. The hotel is situated below the old town of Laguardia which makes it easy to find, and a great location for touring La Rioja by bicycle or car. But it's an uphill climb to the old town if you want to go out for dinner or drinks. Few will attempt this walk after a long day. The restaurant has a nice menu but all the warmth and charm of a conference room. Seriously, look under the table cloths.

Over rated, needed of mantenance. Not a Four stars according to Spanish standard

Lovely hotel in a quiet rural setting, just outside La Guardia. Large comfortable room, with views over the neighbouring vineyards. Pool area, spa and gardens give a relaxing atmosphere, although the football or basketball commentary on the bar TVs were really intrusive. Excellent buffet breakfast, although the only dinner we took was disappointing.

3 nights top floor superior room in eaves, port hole windows, no balcony. Dark with very little natural light. Beside elevator. Don't pay extra for these rooms, book standaard with french balcony on 2nd floor. Breakfast OK, short walk into Laguardia. Overall felt a bit like an american motel.

Don't be fooled by the relatively high ranking on Trip Advisor. There are relatively few hotels in the LaGuardia neighbourhood, so this hotel ranks highly just by virtue of being a stayable place out of a meagre, mediocre lot. In reality, this hotel is a throwback to the 1970s and has the feel of a dingy motel that'd be more in place on Route 66. The toilets smell and the beds creak and there is a feeling of damp decay throughout the place. The hotel also needs proper signage, hard to see the entrance although it's right off the highway. If you want to stay in the area, just drive 10-20km down the road to Logrono for a better pick of hotels.

This hotel is not Inside the walls of the city but walking distance. The spa looked beautiful and the pool was nice but the rooms are very old and the beds are not comfortable.

Hotel is dated and the staff is over burdened. Don't dine here, except for breakfast. Overall it's not a 4 star hotel by any stretch.

Needs some updating - worn out. Walls need painting; bed covers renewed; staff just ok. Only there 1 night and moved to a better hotel in the old town Laguardia.

Stayed here 2 nights in April. It's a very nice hotel just a short walk (slightly uphill) from the old walled town (which is pedestrians only. We had a very comfortable room at a decent price. Missed the special offer on the spa on the Saturday and it was not repeated on the Sunday unfortunately so we didn't use the spa. We ate twice at the bistro and it was OK, nothing special and it was rather empty as we eat earlier than the Spaniards (8.30pm and things were only just starting). Good breakfast. We loved Laguardia.

We would return here in a heartbeat we travel a great deal. This hotel in the heart of Rioja country and with neighbouring village and its wine attractions ranks amongst best in the world. In addition to a La carte restaurant there is a fabulous bistro The whole place is just perfect. Assuming price is right of course as it was for us

One of the nicer hotels in Laguardia. On the edge of town with parking available. The room was very warm and the heat could not be controlled by the thermostat. Good restaurant on site.

This hotel worked fine for us for a 1 night stay. Handy access to a beautiful town and the surrounding area. Very convenient (free) parking. Everything works, and the staff was very nice.

Beautiful hotel just outside the walls of the city, great parking Really nice rooms with rustic look. Would definitely go back again if in the area--

Not cheap but a great place to stay if you want luxury whilst touring the great vineyards.

Super hotel with great facilities. It was very clean. The location was good (but is an uphill walk into town), however, it's not too strenuous and the views are well worth it when you do reach town. Good size hotel and pool for capacity, never felt overcrowded by or in the pool. Food was good although wasn't keen on the breakfast.

Pros: Clean, comfortable bright rooms with great wifi, nice staff, and walkable to old town. Free self parking. Cons: Couldn't find at first bc name does not include " Wine Oil Spa", pool in high season was closed due to waiting health inspection, spa "circuit" goofy and expensive. (Basically a pool with bubbles that is too warm to swim but not hot enough to be a hot tub - Although one sauna was nice & hot. Bring your own flip-flops & bathing cap or you must buy) No cocktails served in dining areas.

The hotel was very well located. I stayed in the Junior Suite and the room was fantastic. However the housekeeping turned on the tap on my toilet kit and it was soaked in water. This was a huge disappointment.

We only stayed one night but found the hotel staff to be very helpful and accommodating. For example, we arrived back to the hotel after sightseeing and discovered that the restaurant was closed for dinner, however, Miguel arranged a lovely Tapas meal of salad, pancetta and cheeses, it may not sound like much but it was one of the best meals we had whilst in Spain. We can also recommend paying the extra for the Spa treatment which is 90mins in the Hydroponic spa and also includes dry and moist saunas, for us it was a wonderful way to relax after long days of sightseeing. Maialen at the front desk was just wonderful, she could speak very good English and was able to recommend places to see in our next destinations of Bilbao and San Sebastian, we took up her recommendations and are pleased to say that she helped make our Spanish holiday even better so we have much to thank her for. The only negative I found in our stay was that the room, although non-smoking, smelt like a smokers room, however, in Europe the smoking culture is much more relaxed than in our own country so we just opened the window and didn't let it spoil our stay.

Good location and spa is awesome!! Hotel room is big, but super old!!! Overall nice but would not stay again for that price.

Fine hoteL and friendly staff. Had to use my car to get to heart of town. I do reccomend this hotel.

Rooms were lovely, restaurant was superb, outdoor terrace was great. Only thing bad was the sometimes curt staff at the front desk. They mention on the website that they will organize your wine tastings but don't rely on them for this as they get busy and will not make the calls for you. Overall I would go back and think it's the best option for a modern hotel in LaGuardia.

We liked this place except that we were assigned a hot (east-facing) room over a terrace where a huge party was being set up and were told that a cooler, quieter room on the other side of the hotel was not available and so we had to make a fuss to get the desk clerk to move us as she obviously could have done without first telling us, "That is not possible." To our surprise, Laguardia is a as delightful a town as any in Spain.

great location for visiting the rioja wine country. Clean and efficient staff. would book again.

The sign on the place is not wine and oil spa..was a little confusing...the route to the nice pool and lounge area was a bit convoluted but you get over it. Beds were ok. Bathroom very nice. Room a little small but quaint.. Nice breakfast..(a little high, but it IS europe) walk up the hill 5 minutes to the medieval town, drink lots of wine with some of the friendliest people ever (the friends we went with are seriously thinking about buying property there....), and then walk back downhill to the hotel. Win, win situation....went over one day to the town of Briones to see the wine museum...(20 km) nice place..both towns have incredible churches that are a must see. Laguardia has a winery that dates back to the 11th century...monks making wine out of grape tithes...really cool.

The hotel is located just outside the picturesque town of Laguardia in La Rioja. The hotel is comfortable. The buffet breakfast is very good, and includes different kinds of foods from ham to fruit. We didn't have time to try the spa, which is supposed to be quite good. The only complain is that the room had only one electric plug to recharge our phone, computer, etc. (who needs them anyway?) If you want to explore the region on your own you will need a car to move around. Laguardia is close, but it's still a hike and the only other attraction at walking distance is Villa Lucia, where for a few euros, you get a worthwhile 4D sensory enhanced video, a tour to a wine making museum and a wine tasting. There are many wineries within a few minutes by car that can be visited. We are planning to come back and stay a little longer.

This hotel is located just below Laguardia, which means quite an uphill walk! The walk is short but steep, however it is manageable and worth it. The hotel had amazing views of the mountains. We didn't use any spa services, which includes the indoor pool pictured, and it was too cold for the outdoor pool. We had a room on the corner with a very nice living space that made for a large room. The receptionists spoke English for the most part, but some better than others. Overall, the only issues we experienced were a lack of efficient air conditioning, and a leaky sink (which was fixed while we were out for the day). Great hotel for the price! (

Overall this hotel was ok. Nothing exciting, but it is in an excellent location if you plan to stay in the area.

Location is great, just under the medieval town with easy access to numerous wineries and other sights. The hotel was clean and very comfortable.
