This hotel was beautiful! Nestled in the center of the old district the building was beautiful and the rooms well laid out and decorated. The breakfast was lovely (but we wished we had eggs). Would definitely stay there again!
This is a gem. Beautiful rooms off the main courtyard. Small but you’ll enjoy walking up to the dawn chorus.

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.
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.
Posada plaza Mayor is a beautiful place in a beautiful town. The amenities included a comfortable bed a luxurious towels. I also enjoyed the breakfast buffet.
Excellent boutique hotel in a fabulous location in the historic old town. Small room but with a king size bed. Continental buffet breakfast, more than adequate.
Lovely small hotel with pleasant helpful staff. Breakfast is very basic (no eggs) and the amenities are substandard ($3 charge for bottled water and nespresso capsule)
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!

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).
