Breakfast
Estrella Lodging offers a breakfast experience that has garnered mixed reviews from its guests. Many visitors appreciate the "good breakfast" available, often highlighting items like fresh bread, fresh fruit and good coffee. The breakfast's variety is noteworthy with mentions of a "large breakfast buffet" and a "reasonably varied" selection. A rooftop setting for breakfast, described as a "nice breakfast on a nicely flowered terrace," is a favored feature that adds to the overall dining experience.

However, the breakfast does not escape criticism. Some guests find it a bit basic, noting the absence of eggs and vegetables and describing it as "very limited" with items like tired-looking cereal and cheap salami. The quality of some produce has been questioned with a few guests pointing out stale or hard pastries. Furthermore, the breakfast presentation has room for improvement; instances of chipped crockery, self-service setups and even breakfast ordered and picked up from the reception were mentioned.

Despite these drawbacks, the breakfast is often regarded as sufficient and appropriate for the price, though improvements in quantity and variety could enhance the overall satisfaction. The helpfulness of staff, such as Mariosa, who delivered breakfast with care, is a positive note in improving the guest experience. Overall, while the morning meal at Estrella Lodging may not be extravagant, it provides a decent start to the day.
