Hotel Silken Villa de Laguardia

We came here without a car having got busses from Bilbao. Not easy finding a hotel with a pool and within LaGuardia so worked perfectly. Arguably not a four star but was comfortable and and pool was lovely. Would recommend for the price

Spa muy caro para los servicios que ofrecen y demasiado concurrido.

We recently stayed at the Silken Villa de Laguardia, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The hotel is well-situated in the charming town of Laguardia, offering easy access to the surrounding wine country and stunning views of the Rioja region’s vineyards. It’s a great location for exploring the local wineries and historic sites. Our room was clean and comfortable, though slightly dated in terms of decor. The bed was cozy, and the room had all the essential amenities we needed, including a spacious bathroom. However, the walls were a bit thin, and at times, we could hear noise from neighboring rooms. One of the highlights was the hotel’s breakfast buffet. It offered a good variety of fresh options, from local cheeses and cured meats to pastries, fruits, and hot dishes. It was a great way to start the day before heading out to explore the area. The staff was friendly and helpful, though service at times felt a bit slow, especially during peak hours in the restaurant. That said, they were always courteous and willing to assist with our requests. Overall, Silken Villa de Laguardia offers a comfortable and convenient stay if you're visiting the Rioja region. While the hotel could benefit from some modern updates, it’s a solid choice for travelers looking for a base to explore the nearby wineries and local attractions.

And onwards north. Fantastic roads out of the area around Siguenza, (no petrol mind), until Soria. The roads to Laguardia are fantastic, towns, little restaurante and big rocks. Fantastic vineyards. I filled up at Fuemeyer. Easy to find the Hotel, on the right uphill, just before the town. Very good check in and the room was good. Nice Hotel and I'd booked full board for one night. The 10 minute walk to town, was much more and uphill! Nice town so I rehydrated in a little bar. Back to the hotel 2/10 for the barman, not friendly and corporate. Evening meal was good with choice of dishes and nice friendly waitress. Overall? Clean, tidy, pleasant but friendly barman needed.

If you book or get offered suite 101 don’t accept it. The kitchens are at the other side of the wall to the head of the bed and the kitchen's don’t finish until 00:30 so if you like to sleep when you go to bed and your head is on the pillow make sure you change to another room. They moved us to a smaller room at 00:15 as we had been trying to sort the issue with reception from 11:00 who kept on telling us the kitchen would be closing in 10minutes, simply not true. As well as the noise issue there was an emergency fluorescent light which stayed on, not just the green lights, they tried to resolve this by sellotaping a black bag over the light, god forbid if we had had an emergency situation as the emergency light was covered over, great move by the hotel. As well as the noise and the light, having been moved to another room, we realised our suite had not been part of the hotel’s renovations, room 101 decoration and furnishings were outdated by more than 20yrs. As well as room 101 being outdated the hotel is crying out for some reinvestment to refurbish everything, the exterior is in a desperate state of disrepair, the exterior looks like it’s not been touched for 20yrs. As well as all the above the hotel were offered the opportunity to compensate us and they felt it was sufficient to offer us a box with 3 wines in it and note simply saying ‘sorry for your inconvenience, we took this back to reception and suggested it was inappropriate as we were flying home. For all the inconvenience of moving to a small room with twin beds having booked a suite, not getting to sleep until after 01:30 due to having to move rooms, we checked out being told we ere only being charged for the smaller room and not the temporary use of the suite and we later found out through our correspondence with the hotel manager who was not available at the time of our stay, that we had had a further discount off the smaller twin bedded room of 10%, 10% of what rate we will never know, I’m sure it wouldn’t have been a competitive rate anyway. Avoid like the plague

Not a 4 star hotel If it is, the stars are old, tarnished and some points are missing. No airco in the room although mentioned on their website, no heating between 10am and 6am, so if you’r towels are wet they stay wet. The furniture feel’s like the seventies, and probably is. Vintage when not needed. The swimming pool, the spa were not available because of maintenance. Why both in maintenance at the same time no answer. On the website this was not mentioned, not even when we were there, no rebate was given. Several times new towels were missing. The restaurant is a mix of great steaks, ansjovis and croquettes, but lousy asparagus from can. Service, bar and restaurant were very nice, reception was lacking, when confronted with our remarks, the switched to Spanish. I there was a manager, olthough we were there 3 days, he was nowhere to be seen, very feeble.

A lovely hotel, located 10 minutes walk away from the centre of Laguardia. We booked a superior room over looking the wine fields. The bed was massive and the morning views were tremendous. We booked breakfast one morning to see what it was like, it was ok and priced at €14 pp. The only down side was, if you didn't book a breakfast you had no access for a morning coffee until after the breakfast was served at 10.30am. There were no coffee making facilities in the room. The pool was very relaxing and exceptionally clean. We ate lunch at the hotel one of the days and both thoroughly enjoyed, which was reasonably priced also. Would highly recommend this hotel when visiting the Rioja wine region.

This is an excellent friendly comfortable and well managed hotel. Everything is very clean and the two superb restaurants are welcoming with charming waiting staff. This is an object lesson in how to run a hotel
