El desayuno muy completo. Las instalaciones muy lindas, el personal muy amable. Lo único que encontramos que no nos gustó fueron cucarachas en los baños de la piscina, lo menciono únicamente porque fueron varias las veces y no la misma cucaracha. 😂

Ótimo hotel. Bem localizado.
O hotel é ótimo. Bem localizado. Limpo e com funcionários atenciosos. Só não vale 5 estrelas porque não tem estacionamento gratuito conforme informado no anúncio e consequentemente na pesquisa. Não chega a ser um grande problema já que há vagas na rua em frente e a cidade é bem segura. Mas ainda assim não corresponde ao anúncio.

Nice hotel in the center of Colonia on the main street. The hotel is located near the old city, so you can walk to it.

Visiting Colonia
We spent 2 nights in Colonia and had reserved at Hotel Spa Artemisa ahead of time hoping we’d stay more but we wouldn’t have stayed any longer. There was a torrential rainfall as we arrived at Colonia and the hotel, we had no room electricity. There were quite a few leaks from the rain in corridors, they didn’t seem concerned, didn’t mop up or signalled them even though floors were slippery. There was a short circuit in adjoining room, so they offered us another room, after I complained about the no electricity. No soaps or any toiletries in the room. Very dark with old furniture, not antiques, just old. They obviously don’t clean under beds, found stuff under both. Bathrooms are tiny and water splashes out of the shower, but that seems fairly common here. Bed was king size and nice, not enough pillows though, 4 thin ones only. Sleeping was comfortable but the AC/heater was old and hard to use with remote. What made sleeping difficult was the constant noise outside on the Main Street, motorcycles were riding noisily until 2 am (couldn’t sleep!) and it was a Friday in the off-season (autumn) so I’d hate to think what it must be like in nice summer weather. Breakfast was mediocre at best, processed cheese, not much variety, no fruit salad, just fruits and really bad tasting coffee! The best part was the large warm water pool in the basement, strange but it works, it also has a small hot tub area in the pull but 3 or 4 of the jets didn’t work. The hotel is just too run down.

Convenient Location
The location is centrally located to the sites in Colonia. The rooms are small and require upkeep and updating. The carpeted floor was dirty and your bes to wear flip flops.

Colonia
The hotel is located in a historical building in the "old city". It is spacious, but a bit rundown with very small rooms. An effort was made to paint the room, but it was done very sloppily. The bathroom was dated and no complimentary soap or shampoo was offered. Breakfast was decent.

Antique and Antiquated
The location of this hotel is great, right in the Old Village and near many cafes. The public areas of the hotel are fine, lounge, breakfast area and pool. But the hotel was built in 1878 and the rooms show their age. Our first room had black mould on the ceiling. A room change brought us a better ceiling but the shower was a disaster, water poured all over the bathroom floor. The rooms are small and the old wooden doors are difficult to lock. Our room never got cleaned because apparently we didn't hand in our key but no one ever actually told us we were supposed to do this. Colonia is well worth a stay, we walked along the Ramblas and swam at several of the beaches but you would be better off staying at a different hotel.

Historic and NOT in a good way.
There were problems with the electrical system. The ceiling fan and air conditioner did not work in the first room we were given. Inadequate electrical in the second room. Breakfast was minimal.

Not The Best Experience
Hotel looked ok on-line, and seemed ok when we arrived. It turned out to be cold soulless place, with no atmosphere at all. Staff weren't so much rude as just very uninterested. Breakfast was sort of ok. TV was terrible, really bad reception, with only about 10 channels, and no BBC World Service, but hay it Colonia. Wouldn't stay there again, thumbs down

Good hotel, nice price, excellent location.
A good hotel, excellent location, very good breakfast, the staff is pleasing and the room very clean. However, there were molds and stains in the walls and ceiling, not very good light, no AC plugs for charging cellphones and other devices, slow internet, and the bed was very low. Too difficult to handle the luggage on it or complicated for elder or handicapped people. I had a good time, but consider this stuff before purchasing.

Exceptional staff!
The service was excellent! Julio Cesar deserves employee of the year for going above and beyond. Such a friendly and helpful guy! Come to think of it, all the staff we dealt with were very friendly. The room was good. My only complaint would be the old, shabby carpet, which needs a good cleaning to should just be ripped out altogether. The wifi was a bit spotty in our room but there were several nice common areas to use the Internet as well as a free and rarely used computer station. Breakfast was fine. Really enjoyed this place overall. What made it great was the exceptional staff!

Hotel tradicional e histórico, localiza-se a poucos metros da cidade velha. Antigo, mas bem conservado e limpo. O quarto é espaçoso e o banheiro confortável. Não tem estacionamento, mas é fácil e seguro deixar o carro bem na frente do hotel.

Hice la reserva x la página y cuando llegue no tenía lugar. Un día de suspensión de Buquebus, tampoco contestaba el teléfono. La justificación fue que no sabía mirar la Compu. Me quede sin reserva y con las disculpas.

Nota 0 para o atendimento, nora 1 para localização
O que mais nos marcou foi o péssimo atendimento da recepcionista que fez nossa entrada no Hotel, grossa, arrogante, mal educada e despreparada para lidar com público. Os demais funcionários foram educados e prestativos. O hotel fica na Avenida General Flores, localizada no Bairro Histórico, onde estão as principais atrações turísticas da cidade. Porém, os quartos são muito apertados, ficam em andares mais altos e não há elevadores, se você estiver com malas pesadas se prepare. Banheiro sofrível, pequeno e mal conservado. As fotos são bem melhores que a realidade. Café da manhã com pouca variedade. A piscina não estava aquecida, praticamente não conseguimos nadar. A sauna só funciona de sábado. Consultamos outros hotéis melhores com o mesmo valor.
