Hotels in Haro

Haro is not a big city, so most of the accommodations are less than ten minutes' walk from the center. The most convenient area if you come to do the winery route is the one around the train station and avenida de Santo Domingo, because from there you can walk both to the old town and to the wineries on the outskirts. The historic center, around plaza de la Paz and calle Santo Tomás, is quieter and has more of a bar scene, but the hotels tend to be older and have less parking. If you are traveling by car, it is best to look for something on the outskirts or in the nearby residential areas, where it is easier to park and prices are lower, even if you then have to drive to go to dinner.

The main difference between areas is noise and convenience. Staying next to the station is practical for arriving and leaving, but some streets can be noisy in the morning. The old town is ideal for anyone who wants to go out for a drink without worrying about driving, but on weekends there is a lively atmosphere until late. The outskirts, such as the carretera de Santo Domingo or the El Mazo area, offer more peace and quiet and tend to be larger apartments, although you depend on the car for everything. If you come in high season, from June to September, or in September during the batalla del vino, prices rise quite a bit; on the other hand, from November to March you can find nights from 65 euros, and the average of 150 euros easily drops to 90 or 100 if you book in advance.

To get there, the most convenient option is the train from Bilbao or Logroño, because the station is a ten-minute walk from the center. If you come by car, the AP-68 leaves you right at the Haro exit, and getting around the city is easy, although the center has narrow streets and some one-way streets. Before booking, check whether the accommodation has an elevator, because many apartments are in buildings without one, and whether it includes parking, because in the center it is paid. Also check whether the kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher or washing machine, because in apartments that varies a lot. And be careful with vacation homes: some are in nearby villages, five or ten kilometers away, and are advertised as “Haro” when they are not. At HotelsCasa you have 87 options, with an average rating of 3.3 stars, and examples such as Portal De La Rioja, Casa De Esme I, Casa De Esme II or Casa Haro, which give you an idea of the variety among apartments, hotels and full houses.
