Don Antonio Posada

A hotel on a lovely tree-lined street, close to the centre of Colonia. The hotel is lovely - a little quirky but interesting in its style and layout and a welcome change from a standard, modern contemporary hotel room. There are nice communal rooms where guests can read or plan the next part of their trips. The pool area is also lovely. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was lovely - particularly the apple cake!

It's a nice enough hotel, but I booked the "Superior Room" on ******* because they advertised a queen bed. When i arrived, they put us in a room with a double bed. Meanwhile, there were empty rooms with queen beds right next to us. Now I see that a queen bed is a "request," but that's not what the reservation page said when i booked the room. I would say to beware of dishonest business practices with Don Antonio Posada Hotel.

I stayed in room 408 which was very quiet and had curtains that were able to block out the day light for a good sleep. The mattress had the right softness for my taste. Everything in the room was clean and functioning very well. The shower was hot also in the late evening and early morning. The garden is a quiet heaven where you can sit and read or even take a dip in the pool which looked quite inviting but since I didn't bring any swimming shorts I could not try it myself. The breakfast was excellent. Everything made a very fresh impression on me. The croissants were delivered in the morning by a bakery. They didn't taste like in France but still pretty good and were definitely fresh. The apple vanilla tart was so good that I had to take a second piece. The staff at the reception was very helpful and gave me some good advice for my trip to Montevideo. All my questions they were able to answer without having to google it first. Please don't come with the expectation of staying at a 5 star grand hotel. This is a very good hotel for the area, for what it offers and for the price it charges. Furthermore, it has a great colonial atmosphere. It makes you feel what the city is about. The only aspect that might make this hotel not a perfect match for you is that it has quite a few stairs. For me not a problem. I didn't even bother to ask for a lift or someone to help me with my luggage. However, if this is a concern for you maybe better check with them before you book.

Very convenient to historic areas and restaurants. We walked from ferry and it was .9 miles

Lovely stay in the historic core of Colonia without all the noise of the center. Staff are lovely and welcoming, property is a beautiful historic building with all the mod-cons. Dipping pool was perfect to cool off from laying in the strong sun (wear sunscreen! The UV in these parts is powerful). Highly recommend.

Wonderful. I stayed one night as a solo traveler- they were very helpful in advance via whatsapp and super helpful when I arrived as well. The room was comfortable and I loved the hotel layout. Did not use the pool but it looked great. Nice breakfast. Very good location- walkable to the old historic district (kind of in it).

Everyone has been very helpful. The inn is very quaint. Beds are comfortable

hotel is very old, door cannot close properly, breakfast is nothing.

We recommend Don Antonio Posada. In the heart of the city, it provides very good rooms, an excellent breakfast and friendly service. You can also use a small pool located in the middle of the courtyard. Honest price for value, so it’s a really good choice.
