Posada Plaza Mayor

A little slice of peace and quiet away from all the hustle and bustle of the busy tourist areas. We enjoyed the tranquil courtyard with the trickling fountain and the exceptionally good breakfast and view from the dining room. The hotel has great little hideaways for reading or writing and the outside garden is lush and sunny.

We had a great time

This hotel is located in a very old building in Colonia. The location is fabulous. Being an old historic building you have the old windows that let in all the noise from outside, and the room smelled quite musty. But it was a beautiful place; breakfast was continental, nothing special- but sufficient to start the day.

Excelente

We loved this place - central, good condition and very cute.

Very nice environment

Posada Plaza Mayor is a charming boutique hotel nestled in the heart of Colonia del Sacramento’s historic old town. With just 14 rooms, it offers an intimate and peaceful stay, perfect for those looking to soak in the town’s colonial charm. From the moment we arrived, the reception was warm and welcoming, and check-in was handled smoothly and efficiently. Our room was beautiful—serene, spotless, and well-appointed, with a comfortable bed and thoughtful amenities that made for a relaxing stay. However, two things took away from what could have been a perfect experience. First, the receptionist recommended Charco Bistró (their sister restaurant) and assured us she would make a reservation, but unfortunately, that never happened. Second, the hotel charges $3 per Nespresso capsule—a detail I only noticed after using one. At first glance, the capsules appeared complimentary, making the charge feel unnecessary and, frankly, insulting for a hotel of this caliber. Small charges like this can leave a bad impression, especially when they feel excessive. Breakfast consisted of a selection of baked goods, juices, and coffee. It wasn’t anything remarkable, but it was enough to start the day. Overall, Posada Plaza Mayor is a beautiful place to stay, but a bit more attention to service and guest experience would make it truly exceptional.

The place is very beautiful and clean but our room was right on the road we couldn't open the window. The room was stuffy and very small. Much more than listed. The staff is very kind and the breakfast is poor. Good location

Beautiful property

Wonderful

Decoded to come to Colonia for an overnight trip from Buenos Aires and so glad we did!! Quaint hotel that has rooms around a gorgeous central courtyard and efficient use of space. Bathrooms we clean and gorgeously created from a historic building. Rooms were ready early by a few hours. Continental breakfast was good with a second story view of the river. Also guests get a discount at their sister hotel on the river

Everything was good except WIFI. Breakfast was great and service was good.

My stay at Posada Plaza Mayor was absolutely lovely!  It looked exactly as on their website and on Hotels.com, which is how I booked.  I visited Colonia from Buenos Aires, where I’m staying for several weeks.  I know that many people do Colonia as a daytrip from BA, but I’m so glad that I chose to spend the night.  Posada Plaza Mayor takes you back in time to help you really feel the history of Colonia.  They have done a wonderful job in updating the hotel to make it modern, while keeping many elements of the original building for its charm.  The bathroom is totally modern.  Great toiletries. The breakfast was upstairs with a view of the river.

The hotel is centrally located. Staff is very friendly and helpful. My room was clean and comfortable. Totally recommend it!

Lovely room with fabulous character. Comfy king bed. New bathroom. Charming views and ancilliary rooms - breakfast room, lounge, courtyard. Picture perfect.

Great place - gorgeous , traditional yet modern , wonderful staff, location in a very picturesque central area yet on a quiet cobblestone street.

Wonderful hotel in a charming Posanda, right in the centre of the old town. Room was beautiful, comfortable bed, well equipped bathroom. Would have been 5* all round had it not been for the slightly lacking breakfast. A hotel of this quality and cost should have had a better choice of breakfast, it doesn’t cost much to have a choice of eggs etc, also would have been nice to know there was a couple of lounge areas which we don’t about. Other than that the staff were incredibly helpful and polite. Just choice of restaurants within walking distance.

Amazing hotel and wonderful accommodations! I wish I could have stayed longer because everything from the service to the rooms to breakfast was impeccable!

A-MAZ-ING. Unfortunately, we only stayed for one night. I could easily have stayed 2-3 nights. The room is on the small size, but comfortable, quiet, clean and beautiful. The hotel is beautiful and the staff were so friendly. We walked ten blocks from the ferry terminal (about 1km) and easily found the hotel. Many food options nearby. We had a lovely lunch at Bohemia and delcious Mexican food for dinner at a small shop!

Excellent boutique hotel in a fabulous location in the historic old town. Small room but with a king size bed. Continental buffet breakfast, more than adequate.
