Hotel Royal — Hotel in Colonia del Sacramento

I am a chef, so I work in hotels 6/7 days a week for over a decade. And this was the first time I entered a hotel after I made a reservation and then left again in the middle of the night, to find another place. I would say the photos on their website are about 20 years old. Everything is beyond old, I can't imagine it has seen a renovation in those 20 years either. Stained bedsheets, spiders in the bidet, no electric sockets in the room, except for the 1 that is used by the light. No wifi (2019). I do speak Spanish, so it's not the biggest drawback, but no-one at the reception speaks a word of English. When I complained about my room, I was offered a different room, which was still dirty and pretty much in the same condition of the room that I just refused to spend a night in. Many many gorgeous hotels in Colonia, I would suggest avoiding this place at all cost. Oh, and before I forget, I booked the hotel for 2000ARS, when I got there they tried to charge me 2600ARS, not the end of the world, but quite...

I stayed at the Royal for 5 nights and thoroughly enjoyed it...||||About a 10 minutes walk from the ferry terminal or a quick taxi ride and right in the middle of town.

Secure, well working air-conditioning and a bar fridge. ||The bathroom was a good size with a good shower, no bathtub and plenty of towels. ||The breakfast was plentiful and delicious but popular, so get in early for it and the restaurant is located on the ground floor.||24 hour access to the hotel and staff are available, friendly and very helpful.||There's a pool with lounge chairs and is also popular!||Street parking for cars||||Would definitely...

My friend booked the hotel and I was quite worried as reviews on the beds and pillows were not good. So I prepared myself for a pretty awful night’s sleep. ||However this was not the case.||The hotel offers a very clean and friendly environment. The rooms are of a good size and very neat. The breakfast is an ‘American style’ but with some extras. No cooked options. The staff are lovely and very accommodating 😊 it has a very practical location. Only 6 blocks away from the port and 5 from the main tourist area.||I would recommend it and would certainly stay there again. Overall, a solid 3* hotel in an excellent location, which offers a clean, comfortable and friendly...
