Guest Reviews
ETH Rioja is uniquely situated on the outskirts of Haro, positioned within an industrial estate. While it may not be in the heart of the city, it stands out for its convenience, especially for those arriving by car. The location is notably quiet, which offers a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring the Rioja region. The hotel is also highly accessible with ample free parking and EV chargers, making it a practical choice for travelers on long trips or those planning to explore Rioja Alta by car.
Despite its industrial park setting, ETH Rioja manages to provide a cozy and clean environment, which has left many guests pleasantly surprised. The proximity to Haro—which is just a 5-minute drive away—means that city attractions are still within easy reach. However, for those who might want to walk, it is about a half-hour journey into the town center and the remote location can pose challenges for those relying on taxis, especially at night.
Overall, ETH Rioja excels as a stopover for transit travelers and as a base for exploring the wider Rioja area. The quiet location, combined with good service, ample parking and modern amenities, makes it a practical choice despite being farther from Haro’s center.

Others appreciated the quality and variety provided at a good price. Simple options including coffee, tea and juice were noted and some guests were satisfied with what was available, describing it as adequate but basic.
However, a significant number of reviews indicated dissatisfaction with the breakfast. Complaints centered on the minimal variety, poor quality and high cost. Guests mentioned that the breakfast could be improved, highlighting issues such as hard bread, scarce pastries and industrial pastries being served. Additionally, the lack of a proper buffet, insufficient staffing and unclean tables detracted from the experience. Some guests noted a lack of faith in the breakfast service and there were instances where breakfast was not available despite being offered, due to staffing shortages.
Overall, while there are a few positive highlights regarding the breakfast at ETH Rioja, many guests felt it left much to be desired, especially considering the price and suggested improvements in both variety and quality.
