Landa

This is a rather wonderful, rather bizarre hotel that reminds me of old-fashioned English hotels that I used to stay in as a child. The building is quite unique and well-maintained. We loved all the nooks and crannies, and the eclectic furnishings. Our room was large and comfortable, and the bathroom was big and functional (even if it looked as though it had been last decorated in the 1980s). My one complaint about the bathroom was that there was no hair conditioner. The pool area is very nice, although it's a bit of a shame that you cannot swim between the outside and indoor pools any more. However, the grounds of the pool area need a tidy-up - it's was very ill-kempt lawn, with some rather uncomfortable loungers strewn across it. And there is no bar service outdoors, which would make all the difference on a summer's evening. Our meal in the restaurant was good (without being exceptional) but we loved our efficient, friendly server.

A stunning building and we were delighted with our room in the tower. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The let down for us was the meal in the restaurant on our first night. We told reception that we were vegetarians and were advised that we would get more choice in the restaurant as opposed to the bar. There was no choice. The garlic and poached egg soup was not outstanding but was the only option for a starter. The main course a ‘panade de verduras’ consisted of steamed vegetables- served with olive oil and utterly tasteless- very disappointing. Indeed shocking for a good hotel to not cater for the increasing number of guests who will be vegetarian or vegan. We chose to eat in the centre of Burgos the next day.

All excellent. Food staff decoration. Lovely pool area and gardens. We will return as such a special hotel. Excellent parking facilities. Clean loos. All excellent. The decoration is incredible and the food excellent. A MUST if you are in the Burgos area
