Where to stay in La Rioja
Best hotels in La Rioja:

Hotel los Bracos (budget hotel)
Hotel los Bracos is super close to all the action - just steps away from the famous tapas street Calle Laurel and a short walk to the cathedral. The rooms are comfy and modern, with air conditioning and free WiFi. I liked that they have a mix of twin and king beds to choose from.
The hotel has a nice restaurant serving up local Rioja dishes with some interesting Asian twists. There's also a snack bar if you want something quick. Breakfast is available but it costs extra. Location-wise, you really can't beat it for exploring the old town and all those amazing tapas bars. Just keep in mind it can get a bit noisy at night with all the nearby restaurants and nightlife.
Overall, it's a solid mid-range option if you want to be right in the center of things in Logroño. The staff are friendly and the rooms are clean and comfortable. Not super fancy, but it ticks all the boxes for a nice city break in Rioja wine country.
