I don't know what possessed the Lonely Planet reviewer that called this hostel "fancy pants", unless they consider dark, moldy hostels full of horrific bugs fancy. Then, this wins five stars. We changed from the six bedroom dorm to the 8 because the 6 was covered in wet clothes and everybody was on top of each other. The 8 bedroom... More

A pretty ok hostel, centrally situated, with free breakfast and a huge collection of good movies. We stayed here in low season, so it felt a bit deserted. De 4 person dorms had a bathroom, but it the promised warm water turned out to be cold and it was so close to the room that you could literally hear everything... More

Loved my stay at El Viajero Colonia! I even extended my stay for an extra night there. The staff are awesome--so friendly and helpful. The location is great--walking distance from the bus station and so close to the main part of town. The rooms were spacious and clean, comfortable beds, breakfast was better than most hostels, and the common area... More

My wife and I stayed at the B and B for 3 nights in April 2012. The staff here are very polite, friendly and helpful. Our room was located at the top of the building. The room was very large, quiet and spotless. Our breakfast was delicious - simple but nicely presented and fresh with croissants, bread, cheese, fresh fruit... More

We were travelling from Buenos Aires to Montevideo and stopped in Colonia for a day. Was a refreshing stop, the hostel was very good and we could relax to continue the trip.

helpfull and supportive personal. when I received one room without a window, I asked to be moved to another room if possible. My request was immediately granted.

I had a wonderful time there. Colonia itself was amazing and the hostel made it even better. They were nice enough to let me use a bike - I definitely recommend this - take a bike down the coast as far as you can go and you will see so much amazing beach! Very great staff! One tip is that... More

The hotel seemed very old. To go to the room we had to climb a very tight stair with the baggages. The room had an air conditionner but it didn't work very well. It needed to be unplugged, then plugged again to be able to start working. Then needed to wait about 10 minutes to start cooling. During the night... More
