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.

This is a beautiful little hotel and it offered a very nice breakfast. Our room, however, was a little worn (the sofá appeared quite dirty) and the room smelled musty. The location was excellent.

Historic hotel in the middle of everything. Bilingual staff - very helpful and friendly. Walk to various cafes, bars and eateries. Amazing sunsets from the shoreline and on the terrazzo. Loved this small beautiful town and the vineyards nearby in Carmelo.

A little slice of peace and quiet away from all the hustle and bustle of the busy tourist areas. We enjoyed the tranquil courtyard with the trickling fountain and the exceptionally good breakfast and view from the dining room. The hotel has great little hideaways for reading or writing and the outside garden is lush and sunny.

Great location- OK stay

This hotel is located in a very old building in Colonia. The location is fabulous. Being an old historic building you have the old windows that let in all the noise from outside, and the room smelled quite musty. But it was a beautiful place; breakfast was continental, nothing special- but sufficient to start the day.

Comfy stay in Historic Colonia

Decoded to come to Colonia for an overnight trip from Buenos Aires and so glad we did!! Quaint hotel that has rooms around a gorgeous central courtyard and efficient use of space. Bathrooms we clean and gorgeously created from a historic building. Rooms were ready early by a few hours. Continental breakfast was good with a second story view of the river. Also guests get a discount at their sister hotel on the river

Nice place but expensive and not worth the money

The place is very beautiful and clean but our room was right on the road we couldn't open the window. The room was stuffy and very small. Much more than listed. The staff is very kind and the breakfast is poor. Good location
