The pousada is ideally located right by the harbour. Contrary to other reviews we heard no noise whatsoever from our ground floor room. The building is lovely with a splendid atrium. Breakfast was generous and varied. Staff were cheerful and helpful. They did assist with our luggage! My only suggestion is that the technology (tv and internet) is updated.

I stayed at the “Posada del Virrey” for almost five days and here are my comments on this accommodation: Let’s start by the location. In my opinion the location is very convenient, right in the heart of the old town and just 100mts away from the old harbor. In order to be honest I should say that almost every “Posada”... More

We stayed two nights in this hotel and would have loved to have stayed much longer. The building is full of history, located in the historic centre of Colonia so all the sights are right on your doorstep. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the reception area is one of the most charming I've seen. We were given... More

We spent one night at the Posada del Virrey in Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay. The posada is located right in the old section of town, an easy walk to both the historical and more modern section. We loved the whitewashed walls, arched barrel ceiling, and great harbor views from our room. We rented bikes, and the staff was very accommodating... More

Charming, older, boutique hotel just steps from the old town and major sights. We booked late and ended up with one of the upstairs rooms (no elevator, no bellhop, two long sets of stairs). Strong heart needed. Free wifi, nice breakfast, decent prices. We caught a quick glance at one of two rooms that are actually reached before the reception... More

I stayed in this hotel for a night in May 2010 with my friend. Since we'll just spend a day in Uruguay, we paid little bit more to stay in this fantastic "posada". It's located in the old town, cobbled stoned roads, colonial architecture... Interior & exterior of the hotel is fantastic, if you travel in low season you'll have... More

This was my 5th visit to Colonia, a charming historic little town which I like very much. On this occasion I stayed one night in the Beltran and moved just along the road to here because I thought the Beltran had inflated its prices a lot since my previous visit. This one proved to be very much the same story.... More
