Hotel Sol Colonia — Hotel in Colonia del Sacramento

I stayed in this nice budget hotel and really liked it. I had room 101 all the way in the back, and there was no street noise at all. They have roll down shutters that block out most of the light so you can sleep late. Plenty of hot water, and the room also had a mini-fridge. Cable TV with about 45 channels. Air conditioning and heat controlled in the room. No elevator, and only 2 rooms are on the ground floor. Free continental breakfast served until 10:30 a.m. with fresh squeezed orange juice. Really nice staff. The only minus is that there is one good restaurant about 2 blocks away, but most of the other restaurants are about 6 blocks away. It's in more of a residential area where few tourists are, which I prefer. Checkout time is an early 10 a.m. Their web site lists the price (April 2006) as 900 Uruguay pesos (about US$36). At the tourist office in Colonia, they told me it was $25, but when I got to the hotel and asked, it was only $20. This was mid-week in the off-season. Warmly recommended for any budget traveler, and most people would certainly find this hotel clean and acceptable.||More info:||web site reference: http://www.guiacolonia.com.uy/solcolonia/solcolonia.htm||Hotel Sol Colonia|Avenida Artigas 377|Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay|Phone/fax (052) 26206 and 27644|e-mail ...

The Solo Colonia is about a 4 minute taxi ride from the ferry port and while an older building, it's very cared for and a real delight!!||||I stayed 5 nights, booking online from Australia and was not disappointed. ||||My room was on the second floor accessible either by stairs or the lift. A big room, big comfortable bed with plenty of bedding and more importantly plenty of storage. The bathroom while a little small was clean, and well maintained.||||Plenty of bedding and towels with extra blankets for those chilly summer evenings. ||||Air-conditioning was terrific and kept the room at a pleasant temperature. ||||The room came with sufficient storage, a safe for the valuables and was very secure. The hotel front door is locked at night from about 9-10pm (I can't recall exactly) and the front desk is staffed 24 hours. ||||The complimentary breakfast was basic but delicious and I really enjoyed the chilled orange juice!||||The staff were very friendly and helpful, with good information about local activities and how to get around. ||||The hotel is about a 10 minute walk to the centre of Colonia and about a 20 minute walk to the old lighthouse and "old town" of Colonia||||Loved the hotel and would definitely...

Hotel clásico que se quedó en los ochenta o tal vez en los setenta, pero que se mantiene vigente.

Me quedé tres noches en este hotel de Colonia y la estadía fue agradable.

El hotel está a unos 15 minutos del casco histórico así que si sos joven y podés caminar sin problemas, la ubicación es muy buena. A metros del hotel hay un supermercado, hay kioskos, una panadería y otros locales.

Las habitaciones son bastante estándar con algunos defectos como tuberías o cables visibles y otras desprolijidades puramente estéticas. Las mesas de luz, por ejemplo, piden a gritos el retiro con honores por sus años de servicio.

El hotel cuenta con ascensor y a pesar de estar viejito en algunos aspectos, cuenta con cerraduras electrónicas tanto para la puerta principal como las de las habitaciones.

Lo mejor de la habitación: una heladerita que enfriaba como la Antártida y un aire acondicionado potente.

El desayuno se sirve en el hall de la recepción y consiste en el clásico desayuno continental.

Para tomar había café de filtro al que si querés le podés agregar leche caliente. Otra posibilidad era té o cacao.

Para comer había facturas (o bizcochos como dicen acá en Uruguay), pan lactal para hacer tostadas, dulce de leche, jamón, queso, yogures y cereal.

Para mí el desayuno estuvo 9 puntos. Estaría mortal una máquina de café pero es mucho pedir para un hotel de estas características.

El servicio fue siempre cordial y cada vez que solicitamos ayuda con algo, nos la brindaron de la mejor manera.

El precio es adecuado para el...
