Parador De Argomaniz

Luxury stay at discount price!

Beautiful Parador in the middle of no where. Very little English spoken but every member of staff was charming - especially the bar staff. We managed to communicate and have a laugh at the same time.

Should have tea and coffee in room. Plus mo english tv

Mostly a great place for an overnight stay. The only criticism is the efficiency of service in the restaurant needs to be vastly improved overall. After being given the bread shortly after being seated, which was lovely, we waited over an hour to be be served what we ordered and the whole of the evening meal took at least another hour. We did get a nice glass of gazpacho about ten minutes before the starter as an amuse bouche which helped. Breakfast service was basic and lacking in service. We had to beckon a waitress to order cooked food from the kitchen and the two plates were brought to us with a five minute interval between each one which was disappointing. Now we've passed the covid distancing situation thing, hotels must surelg realise buffet breakfasts are always better, so guests aren't waiting unnecessarily when they want to get on with their day. Unless you're a bit pretentious that is! Apart from that, the reception, the bar service, the outside terrace and the room were all excellent. It's a nice place overall and maybe on another visit, the restaurant will be run properly.

We stayed here when we had a rental car and wanted to explore the Basque area of Spain. We did day trips to Bilbao, San Sebastián and Pamplona. The Parador is in a beautiful setting and the room was very comfortable. We did all our eating and shopping during our day trips so the Parador was a quiet, country setting to relax. We did eat breakfast at the Parador but no other meals. Breakfast was good - very typical Spanish style hotel breakfast.

Stopped here on our way from Galicia back to the Channel Tunnel. We have stayed in Paradors before and they are usually comfortable and interesting buildings. The Parador de Argomaniz is particularly noted for its Basque cuisine and has a highly rated restaurant on the top floor. The drawback for us was that it doesn't serve food until 8.30 at night, which was a bit late as we had been in the road all day, and was a bit short on vegetarian options for my wife. However, we took at short drive into Vittoria-Gastez where there were lots of eating options. The only downside to this was that the hotel car park was full of diners' cars by the time we got back. That aside, the hotel was very comfortable, the room rate very reasonable, the breakfast was very good and the views across the countryside were amazing.

This was our 3rd stay here. The Parador is delightful, calm, peaceful & very clean. The staff always charming & helpful. Food is very good.

Lovely place, great food and service.

An excellent stop off with lovely rooms and very nice staff. Breakfast was amazing. Very quiet room as well so I had an excellent nights sleep. Always good|

Unlike many paradors the older part of the hotel is small and the accommodation is modern wings. so lacks a bit of character. Still very nice

The staff were exceptional at reception, in the bar and in the restaurant.

Excellent staff, good food

Beautiful quiet hotel, restored old large spanish farmhouse, very nice bedroom, public rooms and elegant dining room

Had a wonderful time at the hotel and the food at the restaurant was great

limited on site parking

The only issue not enough parking spaces

Gorgeous hotel with very good size rooms. The service was exceptional. We arrived quite late but the staff asked if we had been able to get dinner or not so they could help us out if not. The breakfast was also very good with lots of variety.

Lovely hotel, off the beaten track. Everything was very nice but they seemed a little short on staff which created tension amongst the them. Would like to make a special mention of the young lady on reception, who was kind , patient and could not be more helpful, thank you( Maria I think her name was) .

Food was very good. Accommodation and reception very good.
