Lovely and steeped in history!
My stay at Posada Plaza Mayor was absolutely lovely!  It looked exactly as on their website and on Hotels.com, which is how I booked.  I visited Colonia from Buenos Aires, where I’m staying for several weeks.  I know that many people do Colonia as a daytrip from BA, but I’m so glad that I chose to spend the night.  Posada Plaza Mayor takes you back in time to help you really feel the history of Colonia.  They have done a wonderful job in updating the hotel to make it modern, while keeping many elements of the original building for its charm.  The bathroom is totally modern.  Great toiletries. The breakfast was upstairs with a view of the river.

Charming old town hotel
Wonderful hotel in a charming Posanda, right in the centre of the old town. Room was beautiful, comfortable bed, well equipped bathroom. Would have been 5* all round had it not been for the slightly lacking breakfast. A hotel of this quality and cost should have had a better choice of breakfast, it doesn’t cost much to have a choice of eggs etc, also would have been nice to know there was a couple of lounge areas which we don’t about. Other than that the staff were incredibly helpful and polite. Just choice of restaurants within walking distance.

A-MAZ-ING. Unfortunately, we only stayed for one night. I could easily have stayed 2-3 nights. The room is on the small size, but comfortable, quiet, clean and beautiful. The hotel is beautiful and the staff were so friendly. We walked ten blocks from the ferry terminal (about 1km) and easily found the hotel. Many food options nearby. We had a lovely lunch at Bohemia and delcious Mexican food for dinner at a small shop!

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.

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).

Nothing in the Barrio Historico is more than around 3 blocks away from this well-maintained and serviced place. And staying overnight in Colonia is a different experience that visiting as part of a day trip from Montevideo or BA. Staying two (or more) nights lets you experience the daytime life and the quiet, relaxing evening. Don’t get bored, get relaxed. As for the Posada Plaza Mayor, it is walking distance from the ferry and bus terminals but, dragging a suitcase over the cobblestone streets and some gravel may not be the highlight of your trip; a taxi was 150-200 Uruguayan pesos. Most of the rooms are off a shaded interior courtyard, which adds to the feeling of being in a different time. Staff is friendly and helpful. I traveled alone and stayed 3 nights in Room 4, which was comfortable for me but would probably be a squeeze for two. Other rooms I able to see inside while housekeeping was at work, unlike 4, have enough room for a chair; I had just the window seat. With that caveat, I recommend staying at Posada Plaza Mayor, not just visiting Colonia del Sacramento for a day.

Lovely hotel, clean room, perfect location
This hotel is the perfect little spot. Service was fantastic. value was great. Breakfast was perfect and they were able to provide eggs for me as well as gluten free options. The bikes they provided needed some TLC but it was nice of them to offer. They also helped us hire a cab to get us back to the ferry vs walking. Very nice of them.
