Guest Reviews
- Stacy (10/5): I felt at home 🥰 - The artwork, the decor, the location, the warm welcoming feel and of course the Host - who is so talented, kind and responsive. Not one thing
- GABRIEL (10/5): - ubicación e instalaciónes
- Lorena (10/5): Todo hermoso, super comodo y la decoracion excelente, muy buena ubicacion -
- Ariel (9/5): - La calidez, la decoración. Muy cómodo y cerca de todo. Nada
- Iris (8/5): - Muy tranquilo, habitación con todas las comodidades...Me sentí como en casa..Fred es un excelente anfitrión, muy amable y respetuoso de las necesidades del cliente..Sin duda volveré. Muy recomendable
- sánchez (10/5): - Es un espacio donde el arte y la decoración son protagonistas, acompañados x mucho verde y mucha luminosidad. Ya en la entrada de calle te encotrás con una puerta doble de herrería antigua, un zaguán con pisos de ladrillo, cuadros de Fred en las paredes...Subís por una escalera rodeada de plantas, con luz natural y llegás al depto Joan Miró donde nos encontramos con la calidez de los pisos de madera, las alfombras, y los distintos rinconcitos con mesitas, sillones, bancos, donde sentarte a leer o a disfrutar de unos mates. Una experiéncia maravillosa!
- Marcela (10/5): Mágica estadia en Colonia - El lugar es hermoso: una casa de 1903, remodelada pero conservando la estética de la época. Estuvimos en el departamento del primer piso, amplio, con balcón, baño y área de cocina o kitchenette. Muy luminoso, lleno de plantas, y en una zona muy tranquila, a 5 minutos o menos a pie del casco histórico y con al menos dos supermercados a menos de 2 cuadras. El departamento se llama Joan Miro ya que está ambientado con sus réplicas. Tanto la habitación como la entrada de la casa tienen obras de arte: el dueño, Fred, es artista. La atención y amabilidad de Fred son inmejorables. Mas que recomendado.
- Fernando Botto (9/5): -
- delicia del carmen (10/5): Acogedor, bien ubicado, el anfitrión excelente - La arquitectura y funcionalidad Nada
- Montesano (5/5): - La tranquilidad , y la ubicación. Lo que nos dió no es lo que sé ofrece en fotos , parecido, pero no lo mismo, además hay al menos una cámara en el piso superior enfocando hacia el espacio abierto lo cual incomoda . Fuimos dos sras mayores y éso nos ponía incómodas.
- Reinhold (8/5): - Nur wenige Gehminuten entfernt vom Fährhafen und Busbahnhof einerseits und von der kolonialen Altstadt andererseits liegt Colonia Apartments. Das Apartment im ersten Stock ist ein großer, behaglich eingerichteter Raum mit angrenzendem Badezimmer. Die Ausstattung der Küchenecke ist ausreichend. Fred, der Besitzer, ist ein freundlicher Herr, der auf die Wünsche der Gäste eingeht.
- Ana Cristina (10/5): Experiência maravilhosa! - Quarto grande, decoração surpreendente. Uma experiência maravilhosa!
- Apa Valenti (10/5): -
- Laps (10/5): Excelente local para estar em Colônia. - Localização perfeita. Gostei de tudo.
- Alesxander (10/5): Un lugar tranquilo para ir solo o en pareja! - Execelente la atención de Fred! Gran persona! Volvemos seguro. No sé puede fumar en los patios, pero sin problema.
- Alan (10/5): -
- Audrey (10/5): -
- Hector Augusto (5/5): - El propietario encantador 112 dolares la noche, excesivo. Todos los textiles, cojines, mantas, etc muy antiguos. El paraíso de los ácaros. Se ruega limpien la tv por detrás. Olía a madera vieja y humedad. En las fotos parecía otra cosa
- Javier (10/5): -
- Michael (10/5): If you are going to stay in Colonia del Sacramento, look this place up. - What an amazing place. We couldn't have wished for more. The room was special and our host was just amazing. If your going stay anywhere look this place up. Its a perfect location and its such a peaceful place to be. Amazing stay.
- Saunders (10/5): Serene comfort in Colonia! - Easy walking distance to everything we came to see. The apartment has lots of charm and we were very comfortable staying three nights. Our host was the highlight of our visit. Fred was like an old friend with many helpful ideas on what to do and where to go even after leaving Colonia. He was very welcoming. And an artist with beautiful style.
- Carmel (10/5): Great - The bungalows was great, had a patio with vegetation, felt like in a countryside.
- Victor (8/5): Very good -
- Karol (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anthony (10/5): Exceptional - It's like stepping into the owners soul here. Being surrounded by his rich history. Absolutely 💯 from me Thank you Fred
- Javier (9/5): Superb - Unique, beautiful, centric location
- Olga (10/5): 🥰🥰❤️ - Lovely stay🥰 Lovely host! The host Fred gives information in advance how to find the location. what to do there in the neighbourhood. The accommodation is spacious, quiet and full of inspiration Nothing
- Jamie (10/5): The place is very instagrammable. The host, Mr. Fred, is very nice. -
- Nancy (9/5): Superb - Charming, spacious eclectic apartment with lovely artistic touches. Owner is an artist and there are lots of paintings and books on art.
- Jannaa2 (6/5): Unexpected accommodation in Colonia - Fantastic central locatIon… The little apartment with its colourful mix of decorations reminded us strongly of a cabin we stayed at in Namibia overlooking a hippo filled river. This analogy was helped by the outlook onto a wonderful tropical wall of green vines and bamboo. If I had expected our Colonia stay to be in a cabin, all might have been well. But the description of the “garden view” apartment with executive lounge, drying spaces etc. gave me a different expectation. The quirky apartment looks great but is cramped. There is one chair at a tiny desk, 2 stools for eating at the counter, and a single bed that serves as a sofa. As we were leaving Fred said we could have used the main house, but that defeats the self contained description.
- Andrew (10/5): Exceptional -
- David (10/5): Excellent location, amazing room and super helpful host! - Excellent location, just half a block from the main walking street with lots of shops and restaurants. The room was HUGE and more tastefully decorated than my own home! LOL Fred was an amazing host. Great communications from start to finish and quick to answer my questions. Absolutely nothing!
- Daniel (10/5): Great stay! Highly recommend! - Our host Fred was awesome! Very friendly and helpful. The apartment was very close to the ferry terminal as well as the main street.
- Rosemary (9/5): Superb -
- Tania (10/5): Awesome location, comfortable setting , good value. - Location is great, right in the middle between the bus terminal /ferry terminal and historic area in Colonia.
- Sonja (10/5): Exceptional - Very special and unique place with a beautiful garden and lots of art and charm. The house is very well located and only a ten minute walk from the ferry. We enjoyed our stay very much.
- Maria (9/5): Nice warm decor - Nice décor, beautiful garden and common areas I got the room out in the garden, roof was a bit noisy at night . Bed a bit uncomfortable.
- Rylee (9/5): Superb -
- Γεωργια (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location and majestic place - perfect in its simplicity and so interestingly artistic. The hosts were super friendly and helpful. The house brings you close to nature and makes you feel really relaxed and calm. I wish we could stay longer. Highly recommended!
- Johanna (10/5): Stylish, peaceful, comfortable in a fantastic location. Would highly recommend. - Very stylish and great location. The room was large and very comfortable. Fred was extremely helpful and has a lovely eye for decoration and the kind of details that make you feel right at home. He was flexible and responded fast to any queries we had. Nothing it was great.
- Linden (9/5): A lovely town to visit - Good location to the ferry and clear instructions sent from Fred regarding check in. Just around the corner from the main street.
- Zachary (9/5): Superb -
- Robert (10/5): Exceptional -
- Caroline (8/5): Eclectic / quirky which we enjoyed but might not be to everyone’s taste - Great location for us - short walk into the centro histórico and also a short walk to ferry (and bus) terminal. Quirky place - stylish in an eclectic way. The room was spacious and facilities good (kettle, fridge etc). Great use of recycled materials (which we liked but might not be to everyone’s taste as it gave it a very rustic / unsophisticated feel) We had an issue with getting in to the property. Not a major issue as we went to a nearby cafe and managed to make contact with Fred. Worth making sure you clearly communicate expected time of arrival to ensure check in is smooth!!
- William (10/5): Perfect location in Colonia. My wife and I wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you, Fred! - Such an amazing property with lovely garden. Perfect stay in Colonia.
- Nathalie (9/5): Cosy, charming, well located - We met the owner who was very nice, multilingual and very helpful . The location was very good and the place cosy and charming
- Mirta (9/5): Superb -
- Thomas (10/5): Colonia in an artist's house in the old town... can't be better -
- Rory (9/5): Beautiful, comfortable room in a lovely area. - They can only take payment by cash which was a small inconvenience. But it's a great place so I didn't mind.
- Facundo (5/5): Good place, poorly hosted. - The place is beautiful, the location is perfect even though Colonia is not the best tourist destination. The room and kitchen are relatively well equipped, spacious and bright. There are two elements that unfortunately make me downgrade the hotel. One is that they offered a double bed, and in reality there were two mattresses joined together. As you can imagine, one goes on vacation with a partner to use the bed. I communicated our discomfort, and the problem was not resolved on the second day either, despite assurances that it would be resolved. On the other hand, for some reason the host thinks it is funny or interesting to have his hotel filled with Nazi literature. I don't understand if it is some sort of hidden message, or if he is openly stating his "ideas", but my wife being Jewish, with family members who were killed during Nazism, made it a very uncomfortable and unpleasant situation.

- Shonagh (9/5): delightful - beautiful thoughtful designed apartment. nothing
- Christopher (10/5): Spacious, unique, very tasteful apartment in the heart of Colonia - We stayed in the Juan Miroroom for 3 nights. It’s a lovely comfortable space with nice sitting areas, a small kitchenette, and a modern bathroom. We liked the Miro reproductions on the walls, as well as some of the owners own paintings. nothing, everything was great.
- Smithfamily5 (9/5): Superb - Fred was a wonderful host. Our bungalow was private and quiet. The kitchenette was perfect for preparing breakfast, and we could use the main kitchen for dinner.
- Jlmckinlay (10/5): For an exceptional stay - While traveling, certain places really stand out and this is one of them - for both the beautiful home and the welcoming host, Fred. He checked in with us a few days ahead and sent all sorts of useful information on things to see and places to eat. Fred has lovingly created interesting, comfortable and beautiful accommodations just a short walk from the Old Town of Colonia. He has paid much attention to detail, both artistically and functionally. There is a beautiful little garden to relax in, a library filled with books and art pieces everywhere. We spent a lot of time just looking around our room at all the delightful art work. We couldn't have enjoyed our stay more.
- Diane (10/5): Fabulous! - The owner, Fred, was incredible. He helped us with everything. We arrived late at night and could not get pesos and he paid our taxi and stayed late to greet us. He gave us wonderful recommendations and made our stay a pleasure. The facility is absolutely lovely and homey. We felt we could have lived there happily. We liked everything
- Tina (10/5): LOVELY STAY IN COLONIA - Fred was a wonderful host! He had many suggestions for where to eat and what to do. The apartment was comfortable and quiet. We enjoyed our 3 night stay and hope to return. Highly recommended.
- Wendy (8/5): Very good -
- William (9/5): Laid back charm - Charming room, large and very comfortable. Lots of natural light. Good shower. Would happily stay here again. Thanks, Fred, for all your help. No plug or hot water for kitchen sink Curtains are difficult to close as rail not fixed to brackets.
- Genevieve (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, tasteful furnishings, super comfy bed, excellent shower, perfect host. No credit cards accepted contrary to the listing
- Trevin (9/5): Uniquely beautiful accommodation, great host, great location! - Great hosts, great decor, great location TV was difficult to work. Couldn’t get any channels
- Santiago (9/5): Superb -
- Clare (10/5): Fabulous place to stay in Colonia - Lovely calm quiet artistic property with charming small garden in central location close to shops and restaurants. The room we had was spacious clean and comfortable. a communal kitchen area was useful for breakfast and cooking something if we didn’t want to go out. Highly recommended. Loved the art. Nothing not to like
- Corentin (10/5): Best place and awesome owner - Fred is incredibly friendly, helpful and flexible, the place is super nice and clean, perfectly located, and there’s everything you need to have a good and relaxing stay at Colonia. Will definitely come again! Everything was perfect, I wish I could have stayed a bit longer!
- Jeremy (10/5): it was wonderful. we loved our stay. - A very gracious and informative host. He had sent us a msg of what to do and places to eat prior to our arrival. the accommodations were a big airy studio. Centrally located in the historic neighborhood
- Robert (10/5): Sweet & beautiful! - Rooms & Host! Def. recommend.
- Sophie (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment and the whole house are simply beautiful furnished and perfectly located in the city centre. Fred, the owner, is the loveliest host you can imagine whose providing you with a lot of ideas what to do in town. I couldn't recommend this place more. Thanks for this lovely stay 😊
- Joseph (10/5): Perfect Hotel for a stay in Colonia - Amazing unique apartment experience in the heart of Colonia, This place is very clean with great decorations. The check in process is easy and the staff is extremely nice. Just off of the main street so it was quiet at night time but close enough to the main street to have plenty of restaurant options. Highly recommended.
- Linda (10/5): A jewelbox of a hotel - Colonia Suite Apartments is so comfortable and charming. We loved all of the artwork, the brick walls, wood floors, and stained glass windows. Oh, and the beautiful courtyard. One of the prettiest hotels we have every stayed in.
- Helle (10/5): Coziest place to stay in Colonia - We really had a fantastic stay at the Bungalow suite, and it was a lovely smal place with a patio just outside our door. We recommend this place especially for couples.
- Johan (10/5): Rooms with great art atmosphere - Very nice ”homestay”. 4 great roms all with it’s own art Influence. Luis the owner was very helpful in advicing restaurant and what else to do in the small but very beutiful Colonia town. Good basic breakfast.
- Sandra (10/5): Um lugar muito charmoso - Um lugar lindo, com muito charme, próximo a bares e restaurantes e a pouca caminhada da centro histórico. O Luís nos atendeu muito bem.
- Hannes (10/5): - fantastic stay, very nice, friendly people and beautiful setting, great location
- Adriano O (10/5): Experiência Sensacional - Experiência sensacional, muito lindo e acolhedor, com ótimo atendimento do Luis e toda sua equipe. Se quer entrar no clima da cidade, se hospedando em um único, este é o lugar.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This was a very unique B and B. Older building with lots of interestingly decorated walls. Fabulous breakfast esp purchased gluten free for my wife. Comfortable sitting room with a fireplace for the cold weather when we stayed. Lots of books and information plus great suggestion on restaurants. Very personal owner. Would definitely recommend. Not your usual rooms but quite interesting.
- Sandra (10/5): - Colonia Suites is a boutique hotel. It is a wonderful, genuine, warm space where you feel like at home while enjoying all the amenities of a great hotel. Luis runs the place and he makes sure you enjoy the place while appreciating the care and thought put into the place. I will be back to Colonia and ColoniaSuite.
- Rowena (10/5): Immaculate and prime location - Luis is the consummate host and property was in perfect location to walk anywhere in Colonia district. He has 4 apartments and ours was immaculately furnished and most comfortable bed ever. Luis was very helpful and obliging when we needed documents printed and to collect our bags later in the day. He also provided a map, relevant tourist information and where to eat etc. Could highly recommend!
- Taisa (10/5): Seu lugar em Colonia - Local maravilhoso!!! Vontade de ficar mais tempo para curtir as acomodações. Uma casa aconchegante, com plantas, livros, obras de arte, sensação de paz. Luis é como um amigo querido, que nos recebe em sua casa e se preocupa com o nosso bem estar. Café da manhã preparado com muito carinho, com várias opções e tudo delicioso. Recomendo e já quero voltar.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - La persona que me atendió fue muy amable, esperó hasta tarde para hacer el check in. Me hizo sin cargo un upgrade de habitación. No había desayuno (hay que coordinarlo el día anterior)
- Elly (10/5): Stay in Colonia - Great host. Went out of his way to provide service. Eclectic and interesting house. Great location.
- Darcy (10/5): - A fantastic find, quirky and intersting its an artists haven. Well positioned for everything. Coukdnt have asked for a better stay or host.
- John (10/5): Charming small hotel in Colonia. - We stayed one night during a brief trip over from Buenos Aires and loved the suite. The room was large and comfortable. The included breakfast was also great. Very close to the old colonial town and walking distance from the ferry port.
- YY (10/5): Very artistic home, just like home away from home - We stayed here for three nights, our first visit to Colonia. We got a email a few days before our arrival and the owner was there to greet us - and he was there waiting for a late arrival one of those nights too. He gave us good information about the town - a Frenchman who speaks good English :-) The two rooms upstairs are absolutely lovely and spacious. Our balcony overlooks the very lush courtyard. The entire house and rooms are full of paintings, books and artwork, like a little museum. We were there by ourselves the first night, so it was like being home. The morning staff, Jackie was great. She prepared lovely breakfast and communicate with us through google translate :-) She showed us how to walk the beach, take the bus to Montevideo, eat at the Drugstore restaurant (great place) or rent a golf cart etc, extremely helpful and friendly. The king size bed is very firm and comfortable, linen is great, and small kitchen area in our room too. We did not utilize his tape library but watch a English movie on TV, very relaxing.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Fred was great! - We only spoke limited spanish, and though the manager Fred only spoke spanish he did a great job of speaking slowly and clearly so that we could understand him and express our questions. The place itself was beautiful and we highly recommend it!
- Jacynte (6/5): Too expensive for this mildew smelling room! - Although it looked quite quaint on Expedia's site (especially the main living room area), the actual bedroom we stayed in was disapointing as it smelled of mildew. The bathroom was old and in much need of a serious update as well. The price of $148 US dollars for this room facing the street was way too expensive and we felt quite disappointed with Expedia's recommendation. The breakfast was satisfactory even though we were only presented with one mini pancake per person...no seconds offered which was unfortunate as it was a very delicious 2 biter.
- susan (2/5): Do not book! - We were never able to stay at this hotel. We went to the hotel only to find the doors locked. It is a small hotel with only a few rooms and it has a doorbell. We rang the door bell for 15 minutes and called their phone repeatedly. No one answered the phone or the door. It was now 10:30 pm and we had no way of getting access to check in. Evidently, they didn't want our business.
- Toni (10/5): An absolute gem - Lovely, quirky suite with gobs of artwork, books to borrow, dvds, tv if you want it. We stayed upstairs in the front and it was very quiet...would return in a heartbeat. Colonial is very small, but a must to get an idea of Uruguay minus huge Montevideo. Uruguay is home to the Asada, a huge platter of grilled meats, but there are now a few veggie places which are excellent. Have fun.
