We spent 2 nights at this hotel en route from Alicante to Santander. The approach gives a fabulous view of the monastery, and the drive through small villages, surrounded by vinyards and bodegas was lovely. Our room was clean and comfortable, and we found the reception staff very helpful.....their english was better than our spanish, but only just! Yes, the... More

We spent two nights here in the middle of a cycling trip - possibly two too many! Whilst the rooms are clean, spacious and well equipped the rest of the hotel lacks any atmosphere - unless you like the feel of an almost empty old people's home! The bar feels like a station waiting room,. there's no outside space except... More

I booked this hotel though one of the hotel sites on line for 55 euros per room and thought it was great value(if you book through the hotel it would be 110/room). I like staying at a interesting hotels ( than just typical ones) and this was interesting one. The rooms were super clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. The area... More

Once inside the foyer with its slightly forlorn and dated air you begin to worry. Reception was adequate; not exactly overjoyed to see us. Room; clean but generally dated and depressing. Beds comfortable. Bathroom was large and all done in... More

The rooms are suitable and not overpriced. There are nice views to the mountains. The restaurant's food is good, a plus because there's no local competition, as San Millan is not... More

The building is impressive, and the interior of the rooms feels newly done. But the beds are some of the most uncomfortable I have ever slept in--crinkly plastic (ick!) beneath the sheets kept me awake all night. I would definitely say this hotel should be downgraded from a 4-star to 3-star. If you're visiting the La Rioja region, consider a... More

I can't say enough good things about this hotel. We rented a car and drove to La Rioja from San Sebastian, and though the roads were a little difficult to manage (the mountains, weird for us Iowans!), it was definitely worth it. It's the most amazing feeling to pull up to this amazing structure and realize, "This is my hotel!"... More

The Hospederia de San Millan is one of the most unique hotels I've stayed at in Spain. The hotels rooms are spacious and well decorated. The food at the restaurant is delicious and the staff is friendly and efficient. I had to check out very early and they were extremely accommodating.
