Colonia Hostellit

Plussat: Centrally located, tasty but basic breakfast included. Place looka better on photos, though...

Miinukset: This place is probably more like a summer hostel, because in off-season it gets a bit neglected. A lot of dust in the common bathroom, i.e. There are no hooks or hangers whatsoever in the dorm room... how am I supposed to hang my coat/shirt/hat? Plus, there was a lot of complicated communication with the place, they were planning on closing and they transfered me to another place, only to decide that they were going to be open after and then told me I can stay there. Funny stuff. Loud street, suprisingly, plus there’s a all-night Casino on the other side od the street that lights like a Christmas tree... very hard to sleep.

Plussat: Overall nice and clean place to stay. Good bathrooms and comfy beds. Helpful and nice personnel.

Miinukset: Window didn’t close properly so it was a bit cold and loud at night.

Plussat: The owner and staff are all very friendly and helpful. I completely forgot that breakfast was included so that was a nice surprise this morning! Plenty of dulce de leche too! The rooms were spotlessly clean, as was the bathroom, which had plenty of space, hot water, and no waiting. The location is very central yet quiet as it's just 1 street downhill from the main avenue. Air conditioning in the room didn't seem necessary with the mild temperatures last night, but I suppose it's good to know that it works! So far the best place I've stayed in in Uruguay.

Plussat: Friendly staff, good breakfast, very clean place, close to historic centre

Plussat: Amazing hostel, staff super helpful and conversational, very nice and clean modern bathrooms,

Plussat: The breakfast was really good and tasty, it was a plus the dulce de leche´s option. Even though it didn´t include some fruits, in general was very complete. What it makes your stay such a relaxing time is the working staff of the hostel, they are very trustful persons. Also, I loved that it is located in a walking distance from everything. I highly recommend it!

Miinukset: I think they should put an effort in cleaning maintenance. Sometimes. the public bathroom was a dirty and smelled bad.

Plussat: Great location, very clean, owners are super nice and friendly.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Clean, stable and comfortable beds, spacious showers, hot water, extra computer for Internet, friendly staff to borrow umbrella /salt/fire etc., modern Ambiente WITHOUT the usually hidden broken furnitures/holes in the walls that you find in most other Hostels.

Miinukset: In the kitchen there are no basic supplies like salt, pepper, oil (but you can usually prest it) and only 2 pots, Breakfast: Nice, but all sweet no healthy alternative

Plussat: Location, huge window.

Miinukset: The blinds stank extremely, so we didn't use them.

Plussat: Great location, man at check in was very nice, helpful staff and nice breakfast. Nearby to old Colonia.

Miinukset: Ventilation in room could be better when using the showers.

Plussat: All good.

Plussat: Great location.

Plussat: Lovely staff, balconies, patio and roof terrace, friendly and comfortable.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Staff was great and spoke English (which was great!).

Miinukset: Beds were uncomfortable and very small (bed was 180 cm long, which is too short for two long dutch persons).

Plussat: It was clean, good staff

Miinukset: I did not get an invoice, they told me already had been sent via email, but I did not receive anything in the way of invoice. This is a grave problem when I have to justify my expenses. It is unacceptable and will have to request it separately, which in very inconvenient.

Plussat: The location is fantastic! It’s right across from the river and next to the historic part of the city. The staff is also friendly, like most Uruguayans are!

Miinukset: The photos are misleading — the hotel/hostel definitely needs some updating. The curtains were dirty and the room generally smelled like toilet without the heating unit pumping in ‘fresh’ air. Breakfast was okay, but the coffee and eggs were clearly old and/or stale. The value for the money is okay in Colonia, since hostels/hotels are generally a bit pricier than places like Montevideo or Buenos Aires — but I was disappointed based off the photos.

Plussat: I liked that there was a nice breakfast included, and that we could buy bottles of wine. Also there was a nice terrace on the roof, and we could rent bikes.

Miinukset: I didn't like that there was no mini fridge on the room, and the rooms were not cleaned in between, as in, the beds weren't made, or towels changed.

Plussat: Friendly staff and always willing to help. The room and bathroom are perfectly clean. It is a big room and bathroom. There are a nice balcony on the roof where you can sit and relax and look out on the river. It is in walking distance from the Buquebus terminal, the historic part of Colonial, shops and restaurants. A very good breakfast are served in the morning with good Coffey. Security at he front door are very good. Just keep in mind that yoh have to use steps...but is is not a lot and easy to climed. Good wifi in all pleces. I can recommend this place to every person.

Miinukset: All was good.

Plussat: Perfect location, only 5 minutes from the bus station and ferry port. Only a few minutes from the old town and plenty of restaurants. Staff where warm and welcoming.
