All concrete box and no fur.
This is absolutely not what you think. First of all it’s down a little tiny track next to an industrial building at the back of a village, it’s flanked by crappy buildings and not some of idyllic scene in the middle of Rioja. Check in was pleasant. Room upgrade as a gold member was nice- thank you. Has explained it was my birthday and our wedding anniversary but no special touches. Room was ok- if you want a concrete box with a mattress of similar substance this is the place for you. Bar was closed but we were kindly offered a welcome drink (thank you). Everything else on a Saturday was closed/ so we got a taxi with a FABULOUS driver called Martin who saved the day. Took us to where was open. Wine bar opened later but despite trying very very oak wine. Not great service. Flat ambience. Rooms uncomfortable with poor quality toiletries. Mattress was so hard. Wouldn’t come back. Also the roses are all dead. And it’s so noisy.

Excelente hotel!!
Excelente hotel ubicado en el pueblo Villabuena de Alba, que tiene el record mundial de más bodegas por habitante (350 habitantes y 43 bodegas). El diseño del hotel es moderno, su restaurtant maravilloso, el personal muy atento. Habitaciones cómodas y bien equipadas. Desde allí en coche alquilado se puede ir a visitar bodegas como Marques de Riscal, Muga, etc. En invierno cierran por un tiempo, porque es difícil llegar.

Interesting architecture. Polished Concrete and wood squeezed into a small village. Dinner and breakfast were good with excellent service. Room was cold and no sound insulation. Recommend don’t stay in room 301 as noise from lift foyer does not allow a decent nights sleep - door has no sound insulation!

Unique architectural design of the hotel set in a quiet wine producing village made it a memorable stay. Room was spacious with an outside terrace and a modern but comfortable interior. Staff were very helpful and I would recommend a stay here.

Thrilling building and spacious rooms.
The hotel itself is stunning, the rooms very spacious with super comfortable beds. There was an interesting architectural exhibition on the hotel walls. The restaurant, unfortunately let the whole thing down greatly. Our food in the bistro was very mediocre in the evening with very disappointing wine selections (especially for the region). The breakfast was little better with probably the worst scrambled eggs I've ever been offered. So my advice is: go for the lovely building and bed and find somewhere else to eat...the small touristy town of Lagusrdia is nearby and has lots of options, albeit in a 'Disneylsnd Rioja' setting.

July stay
The place had a great modern artistic vibe. The restaurant on site is nice but a bit expensive compared to spanish standards. There is an outdoor community pool just next door that you can use for free which is nice to cool down when it is hot. Could have been great if they had yoga mats in their gym.

Stylish hotel in a small cosy village. All experience was ruined by the staff. First, at dinner waiter tried to get the plate with unfinished food several times (we just took time to finish) and on the last attempt, he even did not ask us. Then, on breakfast, everything was set up like a buffet, but staff barked at us do not to touch anything, as you have to ask and they will bring food to you. No signs or notices, how we should know?

Bistro staff were helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Marco was a particular star. The location was great for visiting lovely nearby villages and bodegas. The hotel is quirky and everything was of a high quality. The village prides itself on the number of bodegas it has but when we were there in August, most were closed or needed booking in advance.

The architecture is modern & minimalist, very cool and relaxing. Room was spacious and well appointed. Staff is A++ for service and friendliness. The restaurant was a gastronomic experience, which is well paced. I recommend for guests who are not in a rush and can enjoy. There’s also a bar/grill that’s great. The pool belongs to the municipality but is clean, not crowded, and practically on the hotel grounds. Lastly, the roof-top lounging area is fantastic.

The hotel have some issues such as water flooding outside of the bathroom, power sucker doesn’t work, and the safe was out of battery. Hotel staff resolved those issues, but it’s just not very pleasant to run into all the problems on vacation. Food was mediocre, and one of the waiter at the breakfast did not have good attitude, as if he just had a bad night.
