Hotel Antoyana

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel was the first place we stayed at that was just right. This was not the crazy high end hotel that makes you feel like you’re sleeping in a mall. It was like sleeping at home. Cozy and quiet with a peaceful feel. It is just a little way off the street with a large property where children were playing. The staff is very professional and wonderful to deal with. We parked next to our room. No dragging luggage around. I and my husband would definitely love to return to this hotel."

"We arrived at 1pm and were able to check into our room. Very clean, powerful shower and small bottles of complimentary water and toiletries replenished each day. Great location for walking around the city. Hotel guests receive 10% discount off menu del dia, served 1pm-4pm - choice of 3 starters, mains and desserts and includes bread and half a bottle of wine each for €18. The Rioja wine is very full bodied. Highly recommended for authentic home cooked Spanish food. Would highly recommend this hotel."
