Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Property was very comfortable, bathroom well stocked with shampoo, conditioner and shower gel along with towels. It's a shame maid service isn't included in the price as we stayed 3 nights and the bin in the toilet wasn't emptied at all in that time. I believe maid service is available for an extra cost. Very good location and very friendly staff. The external door bangs whenever people come in or out which isn't ideal if you're in the rooms at the front but this is also down to other guests not being considerate. They kindly delivered a chocolate each to our room the night before Easter which was a nice touch. We would stay again.

I arrived very late and thankfully there was a night person to check me in. The room was ok. There was a bit of garbage still on the floor, the safe was broken and unusable, the larger bed was actually two singles pushed together. There was a cockroach in my shower next to the open window on the last day. The AC worked well tho. The pool area was very much lacking seating and the only hammocks were next to the children’s playground. There isn’t much nearby and its a bit of a walk to any restaurants. The bus station to Brazil side of the falls is only a few blocks. There is also a large supermarket very close. The staff was helpful to direct me to the bus. They did try to sell me a ticket for Foz du Icuagu Park for a huge markup when they are easily purchased at the park. If you are paying cash for any tours it is cheaper than if you want to pay by card. They did organize transport for me for the Argentina side of the falls and to the Argentina airport. Breakfast had a decent selection of options.

Clean buts smells
Nice clean hotel in a good location however there is a musty smell which I believe is caused by dampness. They use too much cleaning product and auto fragrance dispenser. Breakfast is bread rolls and coffee served at a neighboring hostel. Common areas are nice.

Friendly, Well-located, Good Value
Posada del Rio is a good choice for travellers wanting a comfortable and reasonably priced place to stay for a few nights while exploring Colonia in a more liesurely way than a day trip allows. The staff are young and friendly. The included continental breakfast that is served in a related hostel around the corner is adequate. There is a kitchen for the use of guests and outdoor tables as well. The Posada is an easy walk from anywhere you might want to go.

Relaxing and enjoyable stay
Pro's: within 5mins walk to old town and 10mins from both the ferry terminal and bus station, off the "main" road so no traffic noise, double room had a comfortable bed and reasonable sized room for the money, private shower and toilet room with shampoo & conditioner, separate kitchen area with kettle, microwave, seating area and a outdoor deck overlooking the water which was a suntrap in the afternoon, evening chocolate next to bed was a nice touch, all staff friendly and patient with our lack of spanish. Con's: breakfast served in the hostel across the street, shower room was about as small as it could be, no laundry facilities (apparently the hostel over the road does it but when we went they couldn't do it for some reason) Overall: We ended up extending our time as very relaxing and enjoyable stay

Basic 2 star hotel
Hotel was more like a hostel than a hotel. I had to share a communal bathroom even though the reservation stated private bath. When I brought this to the staffs attention, they said that is the only room that i had vacant. No real apologies or discount. Room was 2 single bunk beds with 5 feet of floor space. very very basic

Disliked: Room comfort
Over all a nice boutique hotel with a nice rooftop patio but my room was the worst on the premises - small room, small bathroom, no window, no place to put clothes, in other words rather cell-like. Also, the Wi Fi didn't work in my room, only in the lobby. Overall, not terrible for the money but I wouldn't return.

Simple but nice place to stay
We loved Colonia and this hotel was ok for the only night we spent there. The room was small and you could hear the noise in the common area but the shower was amazing. Temperature and pressure were super good (something unusual in small hotels...) The staff was correct and polite. They provided good information about places to go for eating and directions to bus terminal. Rate was reasonable.

Would stay again
Excellent stay! We stayed for a week and really enjoyed this hotel. Perfect location on Lavalle, near lots of eateries and easy to walk everywhere or get public transport. Room was lovely - great bed and pillow - and the bathroom was superb. Lovely shower and bath, the bathroom seemed brand new. There was a little fridge which was handy to store milk and fruit. We didn't book the hotel breakfast so can't comment on that. Wifi was generally pretty good. On the weekend the hotel was really busy so one morning I couldn't log on because there were no more users available. That was a one off though. Only issue was our room was really hot and didn't get a breeze because our window faced the courtyard in the centre. We couldn't control the temperature. Staff were really helpful and friendly and most spoke English. I would definitely recommend it and would stay again in a heartbeat.

Ok, but may be better options if you look
We stayed here for 1 night & found it fine. The rooms were clean but s little musty smelling. The courtyard area was nice & wifi reliable. However, when we decided to stay in Colonia for 2 more days, we decided to look around & found a seriously amazing deal at Hotel Beltran for $1 cheaper (on hotels.com) than this posada. The posada had a breakfast across the street at another place- toast & a croissant. Coffee & juice. The Hotel Beltran has a Buffett with yogurt, fruit, cereal and everything the posada had - with unlimited portions.

Decent, affordable comfort in Colonia
This a decent, unfancy place about a 5 minute walk from the old section of Colonia. Rooms and bathrooms are spartan, but clean. Nice courtyard and decent rooftop kitchen with river view. Front desk staff was very helpful. There are bikes to rent. Breakfast was pretty standard: coffee, juice and various breads. Since a night in Colonia is all you'll really need, you'll get what you pay for with this place.
