Posada del Angel

Personable, attractive and convenient guest house. The staff was super friendly. Great rooms with great air-con and walkable to everything. Beautiful grounds with super cute pool. Great value and perfect for a quick visit to Colonia. They also have facilities to use after you check out like the pool and showers. Wonderful staff.

This old gem of Colonia has charm but its rooms are in need of maintenance. In general friendly and helpful staff. Terrible WiFi. It offers a reasonably good breakfast (Uruguayan style). Very short walk to the historical center.

The colourful/green facade of the building is very much how it really is in really life. If you arrive on the boats it's lovely and close to the port as well as the city gate. Very tranquil, nice atmosphere and it keeps nice and cool inside when the summer gets quite hot. Also great value.

August is late winter in Uruguay, and the World Heritage seaside town of Colonia del Sacramento is especially welcoming to the handful of visitors who come through this time of year. The Posada del Ángel was extravagantly hospitable to me and the other two guests who were staying during my three nights there. Count a warm welcome as a good augury of a happy stay. The Posada is a 7-minute walk from the ferry terminal, in the historic center of the town (though 2 blocks outside the Portuguese-built original wall). I was assigned Room 12, which looks out over the swimming pool and patio -- a room that also has excellent WiFi, a serviceable writing table, and a bathroom that, while tight, has more than just the basics. Indeed, know that the bidet is quite particular: it sends a jet spray upward, so the guest should settle onto it before turning on the water, and can then luxuriate in a warm bottom shower. While, as I say, the writing table in the room is serviceable, I preferred to use the common room just outside my door for writing postcards and reading on-line. Perhaps the tables are snapped up by the full house of guests in high season, but I had the room all to myself in winter, with a view not only to the swimming pool but also to the Río Plata. Breakfast was adequate, though aficionados of espresso-based coffees will be disappointed that their morning caffeination is drip-brewed rather than expressed. While the breakfast service starts at 7:30, the staff accommodated my early departure on my last morning by setting it up for me at 6:45. I was duly appreciative.

Recently stayed here. The staff are friendly and very helpful. It is clean. Truthfully, the hotel could benefit greatly from some editing of decor which was placed lovingly about 15-20 years ago and hadn’t been updated since. In order to carry the angel theme throughout- there are more frills than I like. I don’t mean to be harsh.. it’s just that I think it would feel less dingy with less stuff. The included breakfast was good, plentiful and added greatly to the value. Sitting in the small but nice backyard is very pleasant.

This is a top class place to stay in Colonia del Sacramento.I spent 4 nights here in May of this year,2023.It was everything I had hoped it would be...The room was charming-clean,comfortable and inviting with excellent sleep quality.Breakfast was included in the price and really set me up for the day...I want to pay tribute to the staff who were at all times friendly,helpful and welcoming-Carla,Olga and especially Angelica.This lady even assisted me with booking a stay on a farm in northern Uruguay,something I had wanted to do for some time...The location was perfect-right in the centre of town and close to attractions and restaurants...I can definitely recommend this place and I am happy to give it 10 out of 10.

Great location, great staff, wonderful ambiance, good breakfast, great environment. We stayed in a lesser room which could have used a few upgrades, particularly in the bathroom. Otherwise we would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends.
