Location was excellent, staff was helpful, room was very clean and lovely. However, our room was not cleaned during our two night stay—not sure why this was (didn’t ask because of mutual limitations in language skills).

Nothing in the Barrio Historico is more than around 3 blocks away from this well-maintained and serviced place. And staying overnight in Colonia is a different experience that visiting as part of a day trip from Montevideo or BA. Staying two (or more) nights lets you experience the daytime life and the quiet, relaxing evening. Don’t get bored, get relaxed. As for the Posada Plaza Mayor, it is walking distance from the ferry and bus terminals but, dragging a suitcase over the cobblestone streets and some gravel may not be the highlight of your trip; a taxi was 150-200 Uruguayan pesos. Most of the rooms are off a shaded interior courtyard, which adds to the feeling of being in a different time. Staff is friendly and helpful. I traveled alone and stayed 3 nights in Room 4, which was comfortable for me but would probably be a squeeze for two. Other rooms I able to see inside while housekeeping was at work, unlike 4, have enough room for a chair; I had just the window seat. With that caveat, I recommend staying at Posada Plaza Mayor, not just visiting Colonia del Sacramento for a day.

Perfect weekend stay during Summer weekend
What an amazing treasure to be able to stay in a 17th century building restoration. The staff were great and very knowledgeable in their recommendations. We ate lunch and dinner at Charco. Remember to use your 10% discount and a credit card for your 18% discount from the Uruguayan government.

Loved the ambiance and location of the hotel! It was a very cool place. The only negative things were that there was no counter space in the bathroom, and no plugs (that we could locate) for charging. Anyway, we loved the stone walls etc!

The property and location is fine. At the upper end of the market compared to other hotels around the area, but we wanted excellent. Our stay was nice, although breakfast bare minimum and disappointing. After checking out and going to the ferry we received a call that we had used one of the single-use coffee pods in our room. Uh. Yeah? We must replace it or they will charge us. There’s a charge for the single-use coffee pods IN THE ROOM? Pretty awful way to treat customers. In-room coffee is a thing, not a for-fee adder.

Wonderful staff - could not have been more helpful. Arranged for taxi to pick us up at the ferry. Made restaurant reservations. Location is perfect for exploring the historic district and close to many nice restaurants. They have bikes to lend, but we didn’t use them. Our room was small, very pretty - but dark. As with many of these small boutique hotels, the electrical system could be more convenient. Need USB and more outlets easily accessible.

Lovely and Historical Hotel in the Heart of it All
A lovely and historic hotel right in the heart on old Colonia. Overall it's a really lovely boutique property; obviously steeped in history dating back to the 18th century, but also very modern in terms of amenities and design. Some infrastructural aspects of the property are probably in need a refresh. For example, our bath tub didn't drain very well and we had to use the provided space heater at night to keep the room warm because the heating function of the HVAC unit didn't seem to be operational. These are fairly minor inconveniences, however. At least they were very minor weighed against the general charm and appeal of the place. We didn't avail ourselves of the optional breakfast at this property's sister hotel across the square because it seemed a but overpriced. That was out choice, obviously, but it's sort of pity because if it was just a bit less expensive per person we probably would have, despite the short walk, and that certainly would have made our stay at this hotel feel even that much more special and luxurious.

Tastefully restored old building with beautiful relaxing courtyard. Discount given on excellent restaurant nearby for meals; breakfast particularly good. Right on corner of Plaza Mayor in centre of the old town which is very picturesque and historic. 30m from sea front giving best views of the wonderful sunsets over Rio de la Plata. Couldn't be better!
