I had an overnight stay here in Colonia and really loved this place - close to being my favorite accommodation on this trip to South America. The place is, as noted by others decked out in all sorts of memorabilia / art and I wondered to myself wandering around what stories there must be about the collection. The room is spacious and clean - decoration is like the rest, full of memorabilia and is different to your stock standard hotel. Bed was comfy, bathroom was very good.

We left feeling like we’d made a friend and learned in a very short time something about the heart and...
Read moreLa posadita is a lovely small B&B located in the historic centre of Colonia. The B&B has an awesome and cool decoration, the room we stayed was spacious, spotless clean and very comfortable. The room offered air-con, fridge, safe and lots of storage space. The room we stayed faced the back of the property, and we had a lovely and quiet stay, being able to sleep till late.
