Beautiful boutique hotel right off the main plaza of old town. Friendly, caring staff, attractive rooms, fantastic hotel courtyard, and delicious breakfast. Highly recommended!
The hotel was perfect! Loved the location in central Colonia. The door to our room opened onto the courtyard and it was lovely to sit and enjoy the view of the fountain. The bed was comfortable and we would stay here again!
Pousada numa casa de 1750, super bem restaurada e equipada, bem perto do centro histórico. Café da manhã de excelente qualidade. A suite jr bem espaçosa, silenciosa e linda!
Clean, comfortable room in a beautiful, peaceful, environment! Bruno at reception is the best!

Nice inn in the historic center, well decorated but the room had a worn-out mattress so I slept very badly. I made the complaint at reception they didn't even apologize. The breakfast is correct, in a place with a nice view and with good Nespresso coffee.

A pousada é linda, tudo muito limpo e a recepção foi muito solitica e nos ajudou até a chamar um táxi na hora de ir embora. Nos deixaram também guardar as malas até a hora de irmos.
O único problema que tive foi na hora de dormir, que senti um cheiro muito ruim que vinha de fora, parecia veneno. Durou alguns minutos. Acredito que devido a cidade ser muito antiga possa ter alguns problemas com insetos.
Mas fora esse pequeno problema, a estadia foi excelente, muito confortável!
Lo único que le quita puntos a este alojamiento es el desodorante artificial que se utiliza en las habitaciones, dejando un aroma desagradable. Después - desde staff a desayuno - un diez!
