I was pleasantly surprised by El Amanecer. Although rustic, it felt comfortable with its charming wooden interiors. The breakfast was ample and delicious, but the Wi-Fi was a bit spotty at times. The location is conveniently just a short walk from downtown, making it easy to explore. Overall, it was a good value for budget travelers.

This hotel offers a homey and clean environment with friendly owners and hearty home-cooked meals. The breakfast spread was abundant and delicious, but the noise insulation between rooms left something to be desired. Additionally, the location is just a short walk from town, though not particularly close to the main attractions. Overall, it's a decent choice for a budget stay, but be prepared for thin walls.

Montervede has potential with its rustic charm and affordability, but I faced some challenges during my stay. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the homemade meals were delightful, but the overall cleanliness and noise levels didn't meet my expectations. While the location is decent if you're up for a little walk, some pest issues detracted from the experience.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. It’s located within a short walking distance to the town, and the staff were lovely and accommodating. The rooms were clean but had some issues with hot water and noise, which interrupted my sleep. Overall, I think it's a good deal for the price, but do consider bringing earplugs if you're a light sleeper.

During my stay at this hotel, I found the surroundings to be peaceful, and the location was conveniently close to town, only a five-minute walk away. The rooms were clean but lacked amenities like air conditioning or a fridge. The breakfast was quite basic and the Wi-Fi connectivity was inconsistent. Overall, it was a decent experience, but I might look for somewhere else next time due to the thin walls and noise issues.

During my stay, I found the hotel to have a rustic charm, but unfortunately, the noise levels were a significant drawback.
