The location was brilliant. Within easy walking distance of the bus terminal and the sea ferries.Right across the road from the River Plata and in the other direction was the town centre. The staff are very friendly and helpful and we had no problem with communication as English could be spoken or at least understood.The room was very clean, the breakfast worth getting up for and we would recommend the B&B to anyone wanting to visit Colonia.
