Las Terrazas Posada Boutique Hotel is an absolute gem, and Colonia itself is pure magic. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. Paula at the reception deserves special mention — she is warm, enthusiastic, and clearly loves both this charming property and the town itself. Her energy set the tone for our entire stay. The breakfast is typical of Uruguayan boutique hotels — simple, fresh, and prepared with care. Instead of individual room fridges, there is a shared kitchen where beer, wine, soda, and water are available for an additional charge, which we found convenient and nicely stocked. Each evening, the owners also offer a complimentary liquor that changes daily — a thoughtful and fun touch that adds to the boutique experience. We stayed in Room 7, which was beautifully updated and included a lovely balcony overlooking the street — perfect for soaking in the rhythm of this historic town. The location truly couldn’t be better. The hotel sits right in the heart of everything, within easy walking distance to the ferry terminal, bus station, and the Old Town, making it ideal for exploring Colonia on foot. This is the kind of place that makes you immediately want to extend your stay. Sadly, we were only here for one night while traveling from Montevideo to Buenos Aires, and it felt far too short. One gesture we especially appreciated was being allowed to relax by the pool after checkout since our ferry departed later in the day — a small kindness that made our travel day feel unhurried and comfortable. I truly can’t say enough about this charming, welcoming place. One tip for travelers: if you’re carrying heavy luggage, consider packing light, as navigating several blocks of cobblestone sidewalks can be challenging. As for Colonia itself — it is an absolute must-visit. You genuinely feel as though you’ve stepped back in time. The town is beautiful, charming, filled with friendly people, and incredibly photogenic, with Instagram-worthy sights on nearly every corner. Not to be missed. We would absolutely stay here again — and next time, for much longer.

We decided to visit Colonia on a side trip from Buenos Aires and stayed over a single night so we could experience the town when it wasn't full of tourists. Sunday night was perfect as the town was very quiet that evening and Monday morning. We picked this boutique hotel for its proximity to the ferry dock as well as old town. It was very convenient to everything and the proprietors were very gracious and helpful. The rooms were very comfortable and the breakfast was very nice. The management encourages guests to arrive at breakfast in two different shifts so that the serving area doesn't get too crowded. (It can get very tight in the food area if too many people show up at the same time.) Would definitely stay in this hotel again.
