Starting your day listening to the sound of birds and parakeets, delighting yourself with all the flavors of the mountains, walking through urban streets with the touch of nature and full of traditions, sharing with people from other cultures, practicing and enjoying sports at a professional complex and finishing the night with a great latin party, fiesta, rumba. All those great things are only found together at Casa Natura, a guest house born from the dream of a young couple of building a space gathering people from around the world having a sole purpose: to create awareness about the care and preservation of our fauna and flora and the need of recycling a and reusing materials to build, construct and assemble different pieces of furniture. Our guest house is family-home- like space, growing in services and comfort to become a hostel. Our vision is having a greener and more sustainable place for our visitors.
Nice quiet hostel
Reviewed By PurpleHaze1234This is a really lovely hostel. We stayed in the double jaguar room. The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean. The shared bathrooms were always spotlessly clean. The owners are very security conscious which we appreciated, there are three locked doors to get access to the property and you are given a key to each. They have a washing machine but no dryer, you have to hang your clothes on an outdoor washing line to dry but there is loads of space to do so. The girls working in the hostel are so nice and friendly, they even took in my laundry off the line when it started to rain and I wasn’t there to take them in myself. Nice cooked breakfast in the morning. Close to lots of bars and restaurants and a 30 min walk into the center of town. Overall I would recommend

Excelente para viajes de Negocio
Reviewed By LayamiyamEsta localizado en una zona muy central y concurrida, con bastante trafico vehicular y mucha actividad comercial durante el día. cerca de la alcaldía y gobernación de medellin. Escogí este hotel por su cercanía a plaza mayor, pude ir caminando y llegar en unos 15 minutos. En la noche recomiendo que lleguen al hotel en taxi, no caminando ya que la zona queda muy sola. el hotel brinda una acomodación cómoda, un buen desayuno y una bonita atención. el único inconveniente es que no cuenta con ascensor.

Worst customer service by far
Reviewed By Rudi TDefinitely one of the worst experience in an hotel. Had an issue with a stay in another hotel owned by the same group next door. So i was reluctant to stay in this one as well but they of course didn't want to cancel my stay. First i had to wait 30 minutes to get my room ready. Then you have to run the water 5 minutes to get hot water. But the worst it that when i woke up i saw ants all over the room. Went to the reception and the manager came to see the room and ask me to leave to have the room completely cleaned. When i came back i still had a lot of ants despite the room being "cleaned". When i went back to the reception they said that there is nothing else they can do. I decided to left and booked another hotel I tried ro cancel and get a refund but they didn't want to hear about. I have to stay in hotels every week end for my job so i thought being a genius 3 member with booking.com will help me but i was so wrong. Anyway, very disappointed by this hotel and group and by this poor customer service. I will of course dispute the charge though amex.

Lovely staff at small, clean guesthouse far from nightlife/commercial hubs
Reviewed By sharonjsmith1I didn't realize how far away from the main commercial areas of El Poblado this little guesthouse was. It was perfectly fine for my stay, and a really good deal, but I wished I'd stayed elsewhere, because I ended up spending time and money taking a taxi to and from the main areas of El Poblado once or twice a day in order to actually go to bars, restaurants, and a dance studio. Very, very nice staff. A few restaurants and one small coffeeshop a block away, plus the metro is a 5 minute walk.

Poor Service
Reviewed By O9278BGpatrickrNo daily cleaning. After you remember them, they wil clean every 2 or 3 days. No fresh Towels daily. After you remind them, they give a towel after maybe 2 days. Sometimes even no towel. Or only one towel with holes! Bad smell in the whole room, because of the circulation problem and the Mould in the Bathroom. The water in the sink drips and the boiler and tubes makes loud noises. Especially at night this will disturb your sleep for sure! Bed linen full of holes and dirty. Also with blood. Disgusting! Old socks and trash under the bed from the last guests. Area very noisy and windows not proof. Water comes out from the refrigerator. Internet is not working regularly. Would not recommend to stay here... I understand that this is a cheap Hotel, but these are way too much shortcomings at this place!

Inexpensive Basic Hotel
Reviewed By SeanOdenHotel Monarca is a smallish hotel in the Itagüi area of Medellin, on the corner of Carrera 50 and Calle 83. On a motorcycle trip to Medellin my riding partner and I ended up there on a search through Booking dot com. It is an inexpensive basic hotel. It is not a fancy place, and if you are looking for an upscale hotel, this is not it. My room was very small but enough for me. The bathroom was basic but functional. My room did not have a glass in the bathroom. There was a good ceiling fan that I turned on for a while. There is secure parking for motorcycles adjacent to the hotel. The staff service was good, I had only a few interactions with them. There is a very simple restaurant there. We had both dinner and breakfast. The food is basic Colombian food. It is good and quite inexpensive. My room faced onto Carrera 50. There is a large trucking/warehouse area just across the street and they start working quite early. So Hotel Monarca filled our needs on this occasion. I would come back & would recommend it to someone looking for an inexpensive hotel.

Excelente atención
Reviewed By R989FAdiegozEl hotel queda en una zona muy buena y tranquila, cerca de la estación floresta, la atención del personal muy buena te colaboran en todo lo que necesitas. El desayuno es completo con frutas y las tortillas de huevo que me prepararon muy buena. Lo malo es que no tiene ascensor pero las habitaciones son amplias y muy limpias
