Very nice place and great service. Martin was super attentive and friendly. The breakfasts were delicious, and the rooms were very comfortable with radiant floor heating. The location is a bit far from the center.

A very nice experience. We only stayed one night, but it was enough to enjoy a good night's sleep thanks to the comfortable accommodations and an early breakfast before continuing our journey.

We spent a wonderful few days at Hostería Ruca Nel. From the moment we arrived, the staff's service was impeccable—they were incredibly friendly and always willing to offer the best recommendations about the area. The rooms are very comfortable, clean, and air-conditioned (essential for the region's climate), guaranteeing a great night's sleep after a day of sightseeing. Furthermore, the inn's atmosphere is extremely welcoming and peaceful. Without a doubt, it's a place I would return to and highly recommend.

Nice hotel. They really oversold me on the breakfast, but it's just okay.
