Hotel Ayres Colonia

The hotel is really close to the buquebus station, where buses arrive from Montevideo and where buques leave to buenos aires, which is really convenient when leaving. The 15 minute walk to the historical colônia is a breeze, even in the winter. The room was spacious and clean, the bathroom and its tub were also very clean. The staff is pretty friendly as well.

The breakfast lacks fruits, and the juice is not freshly squeezed, but it is otherwise decent with nice pastries and dulce de leche. Coffee lovers: the coffee is really low quality, they're even worse than traditional Brazilian supermarket coffee, with a burnt smell. Consider though that this was true for all places I stayed in Uruguay, even 4 star hotels. There's no paid for good quality espresso option either.

Loved our stay here! Staff were very friendly, told us loads about the town and recommended things to do. Room was lovely and air con brilliant!
