Hotel-Bodega Finca de Los Arandinos

Nice view of the vineyards, very friendly and helpful staff, good room service, spacious room and fun design. The positives of this hotel stop here. Maintenance, cleanliness and functionality seem not to be at home at Finca de los Arandinos and that's a pity! The potential would be there, or rather, it was all there! The feeling one gets when entering one of the 'special rooms' is that this hotel has clung on to the day it opened and that little or nothing has been done to maintain it in a certain way, up to the expectations of those who look at the pictures promoting it on their website. Yellowed tiles at the entrance and in the toilet, torn and stained wallpaper in the bathroom, electrical sockets where it is difficult to keep the phone charger in place properly (risk of getting electrocuted), mattresses have been smashed and separated from each other (the sensation is of sleeping on a bunk rather than in a 4-star bed), bed sheets are only laid on the bed and not tucked in, dust in the cupboards and the bottom of the shower encrusted and blackened by mould and you can smell it. In the toilet there is no fan. As far as functionality is concerned, I can understand that the rooms have been designed with a particular concept by David Delfín (see the retractable sink and shower), but, for example, I don't believe that the bed lamps only light up simultaneously for design reasons: if one wants to read, the other will have to sleep with his own light bulb on. Wi-Fi receptivity is very poor and most of the time the mobile phone network works better for surfing the Internet. Frigobar is empty except for a couple of bottles of water and two commercial snacks. Not much for a 4-star hotel. Leaving aside the state of preservation of the terrace floor with wooden planks that bend and risk breaking, I would move on to breakfast: I have seen much richer and more qualitative buffets in hotels with less pretension. The bread looks like the kind you get in supermarkets and the ham looks like the kind packaged for mass distribution. Overall pleasant stay but if it had had three stars I would have expected less and would have appreciated more the design, which still forces you to take a shower practically in the entrance of the room.

I spent a few nights at this hotel on a recent trip to Spain and even though the hotel is generally nice, the room could use some maintenance and better sound proofing. I'm not sure when the hotel was built but it felt like the design didn't age well. First the room i was in had a balcony with absolutely no separation to the other adjacent balconies which really provided no privacy. Although the room looked nice, it lacked in general comfort. The restaurant downstair offered decent options and good value for dinner but the lack of a la carte made it cumbersome for dinner. The worse part however was that the hotel concrete design made it so that the restaurant noise echoed and resonated throughout the room area with no real separation and on both nights i was there large groups made it so noisy that it was uncomfortably loud in my room. This isn't for me and i won't be going back.

Great place for a relaxing weekend with your couple. The integration of the hotel and wine cellar is perfect. The landscape and sunset are something to enjoy. The we staff always try to make your stay a perfect experience and the spa is small but perfect for a couple to be alone.

Sadly a really disappointing stay, our room (particularly the bathroom) was starting to look very tired, the WI-FI is nonexistent and we were very disappointed to learn that the spa (including use of the pool) can only be booked for 1 hour at an additional charge of €20pp - there was virtually no availability which meant we weren’t able to use any of the facilities.

The room was very clean but not in the best condition. The breakfast was great and they even made omelettes for us the way we asked. But the pool area is by reservation and for 40 euros for a couple for 1 hour which was too expensive for us. And the winery tours were not available burning our stay. Overall is was a good hotel and we could not enjoy the full experience of a winery spa hotel

Well located and beautiful place and area

Had a good time at this hotel and winery. It was winter and Covid so pretty quiet and the winery part didn’t active. Service was decent and location is quiet and serene.

Loved this small hotel near Entrena. Quiet, lovely views. Excellent food and menu options including local dishes. The bodega wine (vino de casa), particularly the Reserva, was very good. We were able to have dogs in the room too. Able to explore Rioja region easily from here.

Easy to find with google maps. Easy parking outside, great welcome. Our superior room wss spacious, quirky and comfortable with amazing views. The bed linen was luxurious. Just a shame tbe fabric of the building is in need of TLC as the finishing is weathered & tired.
