El Ensueño Hotels

"The property is gorgeous, the staff is responsive and friendly. The wine experience, horseback riding and bikes really made it special too."

"The house is an historic mansion that has been modernized but kept all the charm of the past. The ceilings in the lobby are at least 15 feet high! Our room was big and had huge windows on both sides, which was beautiful. A suggestion to the management: put blackout shades on the window side that gets the morning sun. It gets light early in summer. The location is very convenient being in the historic area. There are loads of good restaurants within a 10 minute walk. Some tips: the streets are paved with cobblestone and the sidewalks rough, so pulling luggage from the bus station or ferry terminal can be challenging. It can also be noisy at night with music and shows located nearby. They provide a free shuttle to a sister property that has a pool, winery, and restaurant. We spent a hot afternoon there lounging by the pool. Shoutout to Paulo, who speaks excellent English, for arranging our taxi and visit to Finca del Sacramento. "

"Nice hotel, nice staff"

"Room was spotless beautiful and service was amazing however both pools were dirty and needed to be cleaned had mold"

"The room was great and the location was fantastic. The desk set up a wonderful wine tour in Carmelo for us. But the standout was the food in the restaurant. Breakfast was great and our dinner there was nothing short of spectacular. We recommend this hotel and restaurant for your trip to Colonia "

"Very friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast with fresh fruit included. Air conditioning worked well, quiet and peaceful area. WiFi in the room was inconsistent (inconsistent/dropped connection) though. "

"Wonderful staff, nice , spotless, basic property. Beds were comfortable and the location is prime to see everything. Nice little pool. Extra lounge areas in case you need space out of the room. We felt that the area was safe and parking on the street was fine. Lots of places to eat. Best part of the hotel was the staff. Kind and caring. Made sure we had everything we needed. Side item, air conditioner worked great."

"Perfectly clean and very modern, small, boutique hotel with excellent service. My most comfortable stay in Uruguay, and well located within walking distance to everywhere you need to go; the historic district, bus station, and ferry station are all within 10 minutes. Breakfast was very simple with appetizer sized ham and cheese sandwiches, croissants, and a few fruit options. Service at breakfast was excellent."

"Awesome "
