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.

The rooms were clean but had some issues with hot water and noise, which interrupted my sleep.
