My stay was amazing. The hotel was super clean and nice and all of the staff were incredibly kind and helpful. The location is great and I would definitely stay there if I go to Colonia again. 5 stars no doubt!!!
The staff went out of their way to help us book things we never could have done on our own. We were very grateful for their kindness.

Simplicity with great location
Very good service, excellent location, but access to the rooms only via stairs. We stayed in a double room with a private bathroom, but the room and bathroom were very small. Very simple breakfast, but enough to start the day. There is no parking, but the car can be parked on the street and very close by.
la habitacion realmente deja mucho que desear, muy mala consicion

Quarto muito limpo e confortável, o nome diz que é Hostel mas é muito diferente que conhecemos. Silencioso, confortável e limpo. Faltou apenas o frigobar.
O café da manhã é simples, não tem frios e nem ovos mexidos. Alguns pãozinhos na cestinha, pão de forma , manteiga e geléia. Suco de laranja e café.
A recepção são pessoas super atenciosas e prestativos.
Com certeza hospedaria tranquilamente nesse HOSTEL.
Muito bem localizado. Café da manha simples e gostoso. Atendimento acolhedor. Deixou a desejar na qualidade da cama e cobertores. A limpeza poderia ser melhor.
A estadia dos quartos de casal foi excelente. A equipe do hostel é maravilhosa e muito receptiva e fazem de tudo para deixar você se sentir em casa. Minha família adorou ter ficado lá. Único detalhe que é muito besteira que mudaria: colocaria um lixeiro maior no banheiro. Muito obrigado a todos pela excelente estadia no local!
Pousada boa! Localização boa. Não gostei que o quarto era no segundo andar e minha mãe ficava ofegante para chegar pelas escadas. Café da manhã simples. Bem limpo, cama confortável.
Desayuno Solo con biscochos y pan. Cero Fruta, no huevos.
Por el precio hay opciones con mejor desayuno.
El aire acondicionado de mi habitación no funcionaba.
