Great place - gorgeous , traditional yet modern , wonderful staff, location in a very picturesque central area yet on a quiet cobblestone street.

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
Posted 26 Feb 2024 on HotelsThis 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.

Very unique hotel. It has an inner yard and a backyard with the river view. Close distance to all the restaurants and touristy sites.
