Hotel berhampiran Playa urbana El Alamo, Colonia del Sacramento

We stayed for 2 nights at this hotel together with our 2 kids. Luckily not longer. Based on all the positive reviews we expected it to be a good appartement hotel with comfort and some luxury. At least cleanliness. Well it wasn’t. We had a room (with kitchenette) on the 3rd floor. Room 303. It was impossible to cook any sort of meal in this room. There is only a microwave but no stove or any electric cooking facility. Fridge doesn’t cool properly. Dont expect anything coming out of the kitchen. The furnishings in the room is very old and worn out. Full with stains. Pretty nasty actually. The aircon in the bedroom was broken, no cold air coming out of it only warm. Basically only a noise machine. The bedsheets had several old blood stains on them. Pillows too. And hairs from someone else. Just gross. The sleeping sofa in the living room is hard. Might be Okay for a child but wont work for an adult. Sound isolation between the rooms is poor. We could hear neighbors pretty good and the road noise was also annoying. Seems like there were street races during the night. Earplugs required. Certainly when you consider the price per night this room just disappointed us. Go somewhere else. So after a night we didnt expect that much from the breakfast anymore. We were right. The breakfast is nothing special. Toast, muffin, cake. And basically everything is very dry. No eggs, no omelette. So dry toast with marmalade and some nasty coffee it is. And because the hotel is rather big and the breakfast restaurant small it is impossible to stick to the 2 meter covid distance rule. Tables are so close to each other that there is maximum 1 meter or less between you and your neighbors. They should do something about this. Well at least the free wifi worked sometimes, bit slow and unstable but okay. Swimmingpool is nice. Overall I would recommend to book a different place with a higher standard for the price. Real colonia isn’t worth it.

A nice boutique hotel, very brightly lit and a nice view of the river. The front desk staff was very kind and helpful. Our room was loft - very spacious and modern. Bed was comfortable and I appreciated the little kitchenette. The bathroom, however, was quite worn out and could use a bit of a facelift. Breakfast had limited options. Location was not too bad, it was about a 5 minute drive to old town.

Exceptional little boutique hotel ! It has all the nice touches that are often missing in such places, is super central, spotlessly clean, and has an owner / manager ( Marta ) that could not be more helpful. English is spoken ( as well as Spanish of course ). As Colonia is a popular place in which people enter Uruguay, many folks will need to get themselves set up with a Sim card for their phone - they have the SIM cards at the front desk provided free of charge! Marta even helped me install it, set it up and buy a data plan with the phone company since I was struggling with the language. Above and beyond !

Hotel viejo Normal chico ubicado cerca del centro de colonia. No tenia cochera pero dejabas el auto en la calle sin problemas y recorrias caminando. Habitación normal con frigobar y aire lastima que tenia pocos enchufes y no tenia caja de seguridad. El desayuno se servia por turnos pero nadie controlaba quien iba a cada hora, ahora no te dejaban hacer autoservicio y tenias que hacer eternas colas para buscar tu comida porque la servian ellos persona por persona. Tenia un gimnasio que era re viejo y desabrido, la pileta descubierta estaba siempre llena y contaba mucho encontrar reposera, la cubierta estaba pasada de cloro y luego de usarla picaban los ojos. El wifi funcionaba re mal y siempre se colgaba. Solo para dormir y estar pocos dias lo recomiendo

Very nice and quiet place. We got a room on the second floor with a balcony that had a river view. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful. Only the breakfast was somewhat underwhelming because they don't have a lot of selections. No omelette or fried eggs, no potatoes, no bacon. Mediocre coffee and only one kind of juice. I think the owner needs to stay at the Mine Hotel in Palermo Soho and see what kind of breakfast is possible. Despite the so-so breakfast we enjoyed our stay at this Posada and the price was right and the room was very comfortable and the view and location was outstanding.

We loved our stay here. Comfortable room in a beautiful historic building. The staff, especially Werner, went out of their way to give us information on the town and any assistance we needed. Breakfast was served in a nice upstairs room with good bird-watching out the window. We would have liked some eggs or other protein with the breakfast, but it was a typical spread and of good quality. Definitely recommend this place!

We came over on the ferry from Buenos Aires and spent one night here. I wish we had stayed longer. We stayed in the Balcony Room, it has a bedroom, large bathroom with great water pressure, a living room with fireplace, and a large balcony. We arrived between lunch and dinner, but the restaurant manager was very accommodating to us. We also came back for a late dinner and lunch the following day. The food was very good and the location on the edge of the water was very pleasant. The hotel has the right combination of charm, location, and modern conveniences. I hope we can return again.

Beautiful hotel overlooking the Rio de La Plata, with a view in the distance of the sky line of Buenos Aires in Argentina. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Restaurant selection for breakfast buffet was huge and delicious; the evening menu was equally delicious. Great pool area with multiple large pools, all overlooking the golf course. Bikes to borrow if you want to cycle through the neighborhood and visit the amazing beach down the road. Well worth the drive from Montevideo, or the Buquebus crossing from Buenos Aires!
