Very cool hotel in ancient settings. Very clean. Perfect location.
This hotel is a gem. It is a renovated and repurposed magical old building with a beautiful fountain in the middle and a courtyard bedroom layout all facing a lovely garden. It’s tranquil, charming and extremely well updated. Great for a price. We regret that we didn’t get the daily breakfast. So if it’s an option, we highly recommend grabbing it.
Located in a terrific part of the city surrounding colonial’s most magical features and close to the ocean
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!
Nice old character building well modernised with good breakfast included.

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 nice small hotel well located in the old part of Colonia

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.
