A super cool property, amazing history. Most of the staff were incredibly hospitable. Great vegan recommendations. A couple at the front desk were less friendly and awkward. For example, I asked about the property's history and the woman didn't like talking to me about it and actually texted her boss while we were talking who came over and made up an excuse for her to leave, lied and said that he was her husband, all of that so she wouldn't have to talk to me about the history of the hotel. It was awkward. But the other staff members are so nice that it made up for it. And the building is super cool and the whole street that it's on is amazing. You can take pictures forever

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.

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.

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.

Great location- OK stay

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.

It could've been a perfect stay!

Posada Plaza Mayor is a charming boutique hotel nestled in the heart of Colonia del Sacramento’s historic old town. With just 14 rooms, it offers an intimate and peaceful stay, perfect for those looking to soak in the town’s colonial charm. From the moment we arrived, the reception was warm and welcoming, and check-in was handled smoothly and efficiently. Our room was beautiful—serene, spotless, and well-appointed, with a comfortable bed and thoughtful amenities that made for a relaxing stay. However, two things took away from what could have been a perfect experience. First, the receptionist recommended Charco Bistró (their sister restaurant) and assured us she would make a reservation, but unfortunately, that never happened. Second, the hotel charges $3 per Nespresso capsule—a detail I only noticed after using one. At first glance, the capsules appeared complimentary, making the charge feel unnecessary and, frankly, insulting for a hotel of this caliber. Small charges like this can leave a bad impression, especially when they feel excessive. Breakfast consisted of a selection of baked goods, juices, and coffee. It wasn’t anything remarkable, but it was enough to start the day. Overall, Posada Plaza Mayor is a beautiful place to stay, but a bit more attention to service and guest experience would make it truly exceptional.

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
