Gorgeous from the outside, and empty from within. The check in reception was frankly terrifying - zero warm welcome or comfort, simply demanding a passport and what we wanted. Well, I'd like to check into the room I booked. After filling out the forms, she literally threw the key at us and said that there was a pool and breakfast available - no showing us where any of this was. Went to our room to discover that it was actually OUTSIDE the hotel, after the front entrance, on the street. The room itself was fabulous, that I recommend. Only if you hate sleep. Cars, motorcycles, and wild dogs mean that you will be kept up all night. Would have loved to find the pool. Would have loved to have breakfast. Would have loved to talk to someone who cared enough to tell me about the history of this beautiful place. This is not the place they advertise, and it's not worth the price if you want a good night's sleep.

Being in the historic district is the way to see and experience Colonia. Some amenities could have been better (e.g. wi-fi, bathroom fixtures). Staff was great. Breakfast was awesome.

Beautiful hotel with spacious rooms spotless baths. We felt like we went back in time. Breakfast was well presented and delicious. Wi-Fi is only in the lobby area. Rooms are quiet from the street; however you could hear the TV sets and talking from other guests.

Surly and rude
So rude. Nothing like being handed a key by the receptionist while looking the other way. Also, we don’t pack a heavy suitcase but if a hotel is going to make you go up three flight of stairs, it would be nice to get some assistance. Oh and being told that there is only 80 liters of hot water to use for a shower...I’m not one of the actors of Orange is the New Black. Beautiful hotel, room is good though. Don’t book a hotel at all. Get in and get out.

Nice, comfortable hotel. Easy walk from the ferry
Just wanted to take a day off from from Buenos Aires. Colinia was just right. It was nice and quiet. Easy half mile walk from the ferry to the hotel. The property is very close to a number of restaurants and shops. The breakfast which was included was good too.

Comfortable hotel with loads of character
This is a lovely and historical hotel with lots of character. The staff are friendly and helpful. A safe area with a restaurants close by and within walking distance. If you want to explore this historical town it's a great place to stay. Feels like living in the past.

Terrible experience at the check-in
We arrived on the 24th of February and were 'greeted' by an extremely rude hotel staff, who kep shouting at us for not understanding her instructions to creade a code that would unlock our keys. It was the worst check-in treatment I've ever seen. The lady did not bother to show us where our room was, or what were the breakfast hours - and was very agressive when we asked her those very basic questions. She tried to make it very clear that she was doing a favor to be speaking to us at all. Terrible, terrible experience. There are certainly better options of hotels in Colonia.

podria mejorar
El wifi es malisimo, hay habitaciones que el aire acondicionado hace mucho ruido, si les toca la habitacion 1 que da a la calle, imposible dormir viernes y sabados por los ruidos externos. Lo mejor es el caudal de agua para bañarse , las camas y la ubicacion muy buena, podria ser mas economico De todos modos uruguay es mas caro que miami , y a los argentinos nos matan , no vuelvo mas

Decepção na locação do Imóvel
Essa pousada não deveria estar na lista do hoteis.com pois está denegrindo a imagem de vcs., pousada velha, cheiro de mofo, teto caindo, suja, péssimo estado de conservação. Ficamos revoltados com esse indicação da hoteis.com, Não teve condições de ficarmos hospedados, viemos embora, e fomos procurar outro lugar para ficar. Na minha opinião se continuarem a indicar esse tipo de hospedagem sem nenhuma condição de uso a hoteis. com terá problemas. Nós mesmos iremos pensar mil vezes antes de alugar qualquer lugar com a hoteis.com.
