My boyfriend and I just returned from a weekend in Hotel Rivera, happy to have stayed there and already thinking of returning. It's a little hotel with a bed and breakfast feeling. No luxury, but nicely decorated, with a homey feeling and, moreover, their own bakery in the front! We arrived Friday night and were greeted by the receptionist, who... More

nothing good about the place except proximity to ferry location: small rooms, mouldy AC units, no windows in bathrooms, flaky wifi, terrible breakfast, cash only payments accepted despite Visa/MC logos displayed. Avoid unless you really need to be close to the port.

We stayed there several times as it is close to the bus station, the buquebus and the old part of the lovely town. The staff is helpful and very friendly, one of the reasons why we booked this place again. The rooms are very clean and have private bathroom, TV, air condition, wifi (which really works!). I can really recommend... More

Very convenient location, two blocks from the ferry terminal and on the edge of Old Town. An easy walk to all of Old Town and a variety of good restaurants. Very nice and helpful staff. Very clean. The only negative was a roach that crawled on my daughter during the night.

Cute place, great location right near (2 min walk) the bus station. It's also a nice walk to Colonia, so not a bad location. The rooms are pretty open in that the windows are open and everyone can hear everything. That didn't bother us as we were just there to sleep for the one night. The only issue is a... More

We booked this hotel last minute on bookings.com - it was $70/night and included wi-fi and breakfast. Breakfast consisted of coffee/tea/juice and some plain pastries. The hotel is 1.5 blocks due north from the ferry station, and the main street in Colonia is 1.5 blocks past that. The staff were super friendly. The room was fine - nothing fancy but... More

We paid $50 US for 2 in the off season. For this price, you will not find better. Colonia is a small town, so everything in the inner core is close and walking distance. However if you rent a car, Renter beware. Best to have someone other than the company review the contract. Gouging is an under statement. Other than... More

We chose this hotel due to it being in walking distance to the ferry and bus terminal. Good points include nice linen and okay breakfast, and for Colonia a reasonable price. Unfortunately the rooms are really small, the shower is small, and the dining area and tables small. My recommendation is, in Colonia, spend the money on something with character... More

It is the hotel closest to the Harbour and mostly those are the shabby ones but this hotel is very nice and clean with a helpful staff, able to point out poi's. They have a voucher printer for discounts. The breakfast was decent with better coffee than in most places I have been. Definitely good value.

Rooms are very clean equiped with TV and AC, bathroom is clean and they have offer to their guest a simple breakfast.
