Reviews of Hotel Colón 3 stars

The pool temperature was ok, as well as the hidromassage space. The breackfast was good, with plenty options. I would suggest including some scrambled eggs or something like that (there was a lot of floured based food). Location is the best, centric and beautiful.

The bed had two mattresses insted a big one that culd fit the bed frame, this was very uncomfortable. The pool was dirty in som areas, specifically at the entrance where you could see the dust. When we got to the room it was also dirty, like they haven't vacuumed the place correctly. There were hairballs.

The property's historical pedigree and unusual facade intrigued us and were the primary factors in booking (and prepaying) a four night stay in the high season. It is a beautiful looking hotel, and the staff were all friendly and welcoming.

Other than the historical facade, the property was obviously declining and in need of significant restoration and rehabilitation. Perhaps this financial position is beyond the current owners, but the need is obvious. From decoration to linen, from furniture to plumbing, it is outdated and ageing beyond any "historical" excuse; it is a one star property living on its good looks. And, for guests with any mobility issues, it is hopeless. We checked out after two days, forfeiting two further nights. The room we had been assigned was extremely difficult to access (for me) due to the stairs, and the only other option was a curious room than opened directly onto the main street and had security bars that looked much like prison bars. Not inviting at all. And so; I would not book the hotel again. I like old properties, but not at the expense of comfort. The rooms were tiny - this we knew - but it seemed as if they wanted to fill them with the maximum amount of furniture possible leaving little space to manoeuvre. The bathroom was clean, but so filled with bits and pieces that there was little room for our toothpaste. Clearly there had been no professional consultation of "how to maximise the space in a tiny hotel room" before decisions were made. It is a pity. The property is historical, iconic and should be a jewel in Piriapolis' crown. Instead it is a tired old hotel, living on its former glories. A pity.

Great location

Ceiling was dirty in room, found a live bug on bed.

Great location. Historically interesting.

In high summer room is noisy until very late due to motorcycles along the road at beach.

Excelentes

Style

STAIRS. THE TOILET WAS TOO SMALL I COULD’NT EVEN SEAT ON IT

Nothing.

Someone went into our room and when we asked to get a refund they said they are not responsible for anything.

Historic and well kept

The music from the early 1990’s American pop rock radio playing at breakfast on a loop.

We loved the location, and the fact that our room had a key to an outside door directly to the beach. The sweet breads of the breakfast were great, and the coffeee too. Friendly staff, and clean breakfast room. The antique and preservation of the building is beautiful.

We had 3 beds, 2 were fine, but one has bend in the middle and very hard mattress. Did not have a hair dryer in the room. The breakfast did not have anything warm ( scramble egs, hot cakes, sausage...).

Historic building with great location. Has all the basics covered. Breakfast with many options and friendly staff. The indoor pool is a bonus especially in cold days!

Nothing to dislike

Great location, good breakfast

Room was very tiny and washroom too, but I had already seen it on the pictures before booking so no surprises there.
