Colonia del Sacramento Hostels - Reviews and Rates

We got to Colonia at midnight and headed straight to our hostel for some kip. The next day we had until four o'clock to wander the streets of Colonia before our ferrry to Buenos Aires, which was enough time. Colonia is a former Portuguese colony from the 17th century, and so was of particular interest to me. The old town is stunning with cobbled...

Hello all,

we left Montevideo and took a bus to Colonia Del Sacramento, a cute little town 200 km from Montevideo. The old centre has been decleared World Heritage by Unesco. We stayed in a nice Posada with a swimming pool! But although the skies were clear, it was aroubnd 14 degrees celsius, so not that warm at all. We just wore sweaters...

Busy, hectic day all around moving from city to city to city...but still a really fun one...

Left our hostel in Montevideo at 7 in the morning. We had to get to the bus terminal to catch the 7:45 bus to Colonia with COT. Once again, we were running late and the local bus to take us to the terminal was sparse. We debated whether to take ta...

Spending a day in Colonia before catching the BuqueBus back to BA. I would stay for another night but my friend Geraint is celebrating his birthday on Tuesday and I want to be back for that. Colonia is a CUTE little town. And when I say little, I mean DINKY. I can not even get lost here- seriously... it is THAT small. Plus there is the best home...

Ferry journey across from BA took about an hour on a superfast sea cat, but was a bit pricey. Colonia is a really nice old colonial town, the old part of the town is really pretty and there´s quite a few interesting museums, we spent a day there seeing the sights and had some awesome food, it was strange to be in such a quiet place after BA. The...

After a 1-hour ferry from Buenos Aires, an overnight stop at this nice little old city by the water, with the remains of a Portuguese fort to check out before heading further east.

It is the habit here for people to drink Mate (mar-tay). Actually it is a national obsession. The Uruguayans drink it everywhere; buses, streets, while shopping, in the park, come rain or shine each person carries a flask of hot water, gourd-like cup filled with a dry leaf herby mixture which they sip through a silver ´straw.´ There is a lot of ...
