Mercure Carlton Rioja 4 stars

A lovely 4 star hotel smack bang in the middle of town. We received a very professional and pleasant welcome and were given a large room on the 6th floor overlooking the Gran Via. Very clean, modern furnishings, with a fridge and free bottles of water. The marble-clad bathroom was large and had a bidet and bath. We had a very comfortable night. We would have been happy to give the hotel an excellent rating if it had been a little quieter. Although we were high up, we could hear road noise, the cleaner bumping around upstairs, and a fair bit of noise from the corridor. Also, for a four star hotel, I would have expected separate shower gel and shampoo, rather than an all-in-one lotion in a bottle, and a safe. It’s ideally placed if you’re travelling without a car, being about a 10 minute walk from the (huge and empty) train station and bus station.

The hotel was easy accesible, staff was very helpful. We received spontaneously an attention with fruit and cooled water! Breakfast was very rich with a lot of choices! The location was just outside the busy old center!

Very nice location, and friendly staff. In the town center, very quiet room. Reception staff was very helpful and took time to answer to a few question we have.. Plenty of restaurants all around. 10' from Rioja airport.

One of the worst hotels i’ve ever stayed in. 4 star? Maybe 1 star. It doesn’t look like it’s been decorated since 1972, it was old and tired. Not worth the money we paid. We are travelling across Spain and have stayed in many 1 star hotels that were a lot nicer.

We were travelling from the Costa Brava to Santander and broke our journey in Logrono. The hotel met all our expectations, the room was spacious and well equipped, the buffet breakfast plentiful and tasteful. It’s location meant we had an excellent tapas dinner in the cafe/bar next door
