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

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
