Hotel Monserrat & Spa

Great safe location, near many sites and stores. Nice comfortable, big rooms. Walking distance to the cable car to Monserrat.

No air-con made the rooms stuffy.

The hotel room was very comfortable and had everything I wanted. Minibar was actually very well priced-beer was only 1.000COP more than in the mini market down the street. Breakfasts were a bit stodgy but lots of food.

I went for a massage at the spa which were pretty well priced, coming from Cartagena or Europe. It was a weird massage. It’s a thing I’ve also experienced in Cartagena, but ideas of customer privacy are not understood. I was asked to lie face down in just my panties. But not given a towel to put over myself-I had to ask for one-needed even just to deal with the fact the rooms were cold! And the door immediately beside me lead to a common hallway for all the other treatment rooms. About 10 mins in, I realised it was still ajar and had to ask for it to be closed. About 25 mins in, a different therapist came in to remove lots of equipment she clearly needed for her appointment-leaving the door open again as she moved things in and out! I felt like my female masseuse didn’t know what she was doing and was just trying to think of things to do to fill the 45 minutes. My head was massaged 3 different times; things she did on the left didn’t always happen on the right side of my body; it was a bamboo massage and so at points I was concerned that she was trying to roll out my spinal column instead of sticking to the muscles either side of it. I was NOT more relaxed by the end.

The hotel is nice, good located. But it is a bit older then how it looks on the pictures. The breakfast is good.

I just expected a little bit more for the price. You don‘t hear the noice from the street but from the stuff and neighbors. It was pretty loud for me.

The hotel is located in the middle of the old centre and that makes it a perfect location for all your activities in Bogota.

The sink was located in a closet, very low. If you're tall, it's very hard to make use of it. This was a big minus as the air conditioning wasn't working.
