Mi experiencia y opinión.
Pros:

Por fuera estaba muy bien, pero las habitaciones dejan mucho que desear, tenía mejor pinta en las fotos y parecía más grande de lo que era en realidad, estaba limpia pero olía muchísimo a humedad. El personal muy agradable sobre todo el chico de cafetería. La piscina externa estaba muy bien y limpia. No recomiendo que cenéis en el local puesto que para el precio que tiene los platos, me pareció muy mediocre la cena y sobre todo el postre,(me esperaba mucho más en calidad y cantidad). No repetiría por lo que vale la estancia y lo que es, no me parece que sea de merecer la pena pagarlo, es demasiado caro para lo que es.

Pros:

The hotel grounds were beautiful. We changed our original room because of strong mold odor in it. The second room also smelled of mold. It was so strong an odor that several days since our stay, our clothing/luggage still has a moldy residue smell. That said, the staff was very accommodating, breakfast was lovely.

Fantastiskt opphold!
Pros:

Innmari koselig med rom i tårnet som gikk over to etasjer! Praktisk med kjøleskap på rommet. En tv i hver etasje. Utrolig fin hage med to bassenger. Hyggelig betjening som løp bena av seg for at alt skulle være tipp topp!

Pros:

Amazing stay, the building has a charm worth experiencing.

Hotels.com should update the Google maps link, as when selecting the directions using the app sent us to a farm in the middle of nowhere 10miles away from the property

Historia y arquitectura
Pros:

El hotel ocupa este antiguo palacio del siglo XVII de piedra histórica, completamente restaurado conservando su encanto.
Los salones y vestíbulo conservan frescos del siglo XIX y mobiliario clásico, creando una atmósfera serena.
Nos alojamos en la suite dúplex, adaptada a la comodidad moderna con pared de piedra. Desde el torreón, disfrutamos de maravillosas vistas a los jardines, la piscina y el paisaje natural—un escenario encantador y relajante.
El exquisito trato del personal es un valor añadido.
En resumen, el Hotel Akla Palacio Torre de Ruesga es una joya histórica convertida en alojamiento romántico con encanto rural y toques modernos. El perfecto equilibrio armonioso entre historia y comodidad actual, con vistas únicas, piscina preciosa, spa relajante, desayuno delicioso y una atención impecable.

Fantastic place to stay!
Pros:

Beautiful place. Third time have stayed. Very upset restaurant was closed, it would have been best to have known before booking, as booking wasn't cancellable.

Pros:

Beautiful historic building with lovely gardens and spa pool.

Friendly staff and decent restaurant.

We booked a family suite which wasn’t really set up for 3 people other than a sofa bed in the lounge area. Only 2 bottles of water, 2 chairs on the patio and 2 comfortable chairs inside. Would have scored 5 stars across the board if they could better accommodate 3 people.

Two nights in a palace
Pros:

We stayed in this hotel 10 years ago and it was incredible. We were concerned it had changed hands. At first we were disappointed. We were charged 10 euros per night to park our car!! The check in process was confusing as the only way we could contact the staff was by whatsapp. We warmed to the hotel - the breakfasts were excellent and the dinner very good

Pros:

The Gardens and Grounds were lovely.

However, there were virtually no staff - possibly because there were only 2 other guests and consequently we were asked if we would accept a room in the main building rather than what we had booked in a villa. The first room we were given smelt of drains. We were moved to the second floor with no lift which was inconvenient for my wife. The evening meal was very disappointing (processed food) and the last straw was no hot water the next morning. We left a day early and were told that there would be no refund - Although I hadn't asked for one a gesture would have been appreciated.

This is a stunning property because of its unique building and large, lovely estate. The 1610 original structure is intriguing yet the rooms are reasonably modern.

Precioso hotel que debe cuidar más los detalles
Pros:

El hotel es muy bonito, el edificio está muy cuidado, la gran decepción ha sido el desayuno. Nos alojamos en una habitación de 4 mis hijos mi marido y yo, cuando llegamos nos informaron que el desayuno se servía en bandeja en la habitación, por las limitaciones de el COVID, pero realmente sirvieron un desayuno como para dos personas, es decir, un yogur para los cuatro, dos zumos para los cuatro, un croissant para cuatro......, En definitiva una buena bandeja para 1 o 2 comensales pero para los cuatro regular.
