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 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.

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.

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.
