This was an absolutely charming little hotel, with the stone wall in our room being the same stones you see on the outside. In the old, colonial section of town with cobblestone streets and remnants of the old city wall and draw-gate still in place. This hotel is right where you want to be in order to explore the historical area of the town. Only a $5 taxi ride from the ferry station, and no need for a rental car while here; you can walk everywhere. In the 5 countries we visited on this trip, this hotel was a highlight. And the Charco restaurant was also wonderful. Only complaint - the hotel was so quiet, we slept until 10:30 am. If you're from the U.S., do remember to bring your electrical converters. We had no USB plug-ins in our room (though the other couple we were with said there was one under their desk) and had to use a converter to plug in anything. Staff was also incredibly nice & helpful and spoke perfect English. What an amazingly quaint, beautiful place right on the river. I want to go back!

Nice hotel that could be better. The staff seem disinterested and aren’t particularly engaging. The room was nice with a very comfortable bed, however during our stay construction on the building next door starts at 8am so sleeping isn’t an option. However that shouldn’t be held against the hotel. The breakfast was perfect and the restaurant staff were very helpful and accommodating which was greatly appreciated. Room service was prompt and very nice as well. However I find it shocking for the price of the hotel that they charge 3usd for a coffee pod in your room or significant charges for bottled water. These seem like small amenities that could and should be included. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it but it could be so much better with very little effort.

Lovely hotel in a lovely town

Firstly, Colonia is a wonderful little town. Not a lot going on, but it's very pretty, and just made for early evening strolls, making up for the fact that you didn't take many photos while in BA, sitting on the city walls watching the sunset over the Rio and then turning in for big dinner somewhere. This would make an ideal one or two night stay after a busy holiday in Buenos Aires.

The hotel is ideally situated: it's not on the main square but is only 15m away (Colonia is not a large town!). It's clean and very pretty. Our room was slightly on the smaller side, and also didn't feel the most private - we could overhear people coming in and out of reception. But the bed was enormous and extremely comfortable.

We ate in the restaurant both for an evening meal and for breakfast. Both were great. The place is open all day, which is fairly advantageous as we are still not used to the South American practice of eating at 10pm or later!

Overall, we wished we'd booked a flexible ferry back to Argentina, as we really wanted to stay a second night!

Absolute gem!

We stayed for three nights including New Years Eve. Prior to arriving we were emailed with the NYE menu and the opportunity to book so that we didn't miss out. We didn't book, but the thought was very much appreciated.
There were two things that detracted from our stay - firstly the bathroom was a little cramped and secondly we didn't get some of the items that we ordered from breakfast (when we asked about our items we were told that breakfast had finished and the language barrier meant that we were unable to explain that we'd ordered the items and had not received them). I would suggest that if an item is missing that you let them know quickly - as we waited for 30 mins while they served other people thinking that they were just busy.
But we would absolutely go back - in fact I wouldn't consider staying anywhere else in Colonia! The food at breakfast and lunch was exquisite and the bathroom was absolutely bearable!
Actually, one other thing - I thought that I'd prepaid our accommodation however when we went to checkout it would appear that we hadn't (only a pre-authorisation). The hotel staff were very accommodating and allowed me to use the hotel computer to check my bank records. Ensure you check this before you leave home!

Beautiful hotel, charming staff, great food

Charco is on perhaps the prettiest street in Colonia, right in the middle of the old town, and less than 10 minutes walk from the ferry. It's a lovely old building which has been very tastefully converted, the rooms are a generous size, white and airy with comfy beds, soft robes / towels and a big fridge to keep your drinks cold. The staff were lovely - they spoke great English and went out of their way to make sure we had a great time. The restaurant is a real gem with a lovely terrace overlooking the water - great food. Service is a little slow, but then so is everything in Colonia so just relax and look at the view. We spent our time reading in the pretty garden, exploring the town on the free hotel bikes and watching the sun set over the river from an array of yummy restaurants. We came for one night and stayed an extra 3, I've never felt so relaxed.
