Historic hotel in the middle of everything. Bilingual staff - very helpful and friendly. Walk to various cafes, bars and eateries. Amazing sunsets from the shoreline and on the terrazzo. Loved this small beautiful town and the vineyards nearby in Carmelo.

It could've been a perfect stay!

Posada Plaza Mayor is a charming boutique hotel nestled in the heart of Colonia del Sacramento’s historic old town. With just 14 rooms, it offers an intimate and peaceful stay, perfect for those looking to soak in the town’s colonial charm. From the moment we arrived, the reception was warm and welcoming, and check-in was handled smoothly and efficiently. Our room was beautiful—serene, spotless, and well-appointed, with a comfortable bed and thoughtful amenities that made for a relaxing stay. However, two things took away from what could have been a perfect experience. First, the receptionist recommended Charco Bistró (their sister restaurant) and assured us she would make a reservation, but unfortunately, that never happened. Second, the hotel charges $3 per Nespresso capsule—a detail I only noticed after using one. At first glance, the capsules appeared complimentary, making the charge feel unnecessary and, frankly, insulting for a hotel of this caliber. Small charges like this can leave a bad impression, especially when they feel excessive. Breakfast consisted of a selection of baked goods, juices, and coffee. It wasn’t anything remarkable, but it was enough to start the day. Overall, Posada Plaza Mayor is a beautiful place to stay, but a bit more attention to service and guest experience would make it truly exceptional.

Nice place but expensive and not worth the money

The place is very beautiful and clean but our room was right on the road we couldn't open the window. The room was stuffy and very small. Much more than listed. The staff is very kind and the breakfast is poor. Good location

Comfy stay in Historic Colonia

Decoded to come to Colonia for an overnight trip from Buenos Aires and so glad we did!! Quaint hotel that has rooms around a gorgeous central courtyard and efficient use of space. Bathrooms we clean and gorgeously created from a historic building. Rooms were ready early by a few hours. Continental breakfast was good with a second story view of the river. Also guests get a discount at their sister hotel on the river

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.
