My friends and I stayed at the Faranda Cali on a friends trip to Colombia. The Faranda is located in the historical center of Cali, close to the boulevard and other historical sites, like Iglesia Ermita. Check in was relatively smooth and the hotel is relatively modern, given its surroundings. The area around the hotel is not the best, but they don't reflect the inside of the hotel. The general vibe of the hotel is Art Deco. I don't know what that has to do with Cali, Colombia, but that's what the Faranda was giving. There's one small elevator for the hotel, so if you don't mind stairs, I would advise using them at least to walk down. There's also a bar on the top floor that gets very loud when there's an event. So again, if this is a problem, request a room on the lower floor. I also wouldn't count getting any kind of workout in their ”fitness room” which is a tiny room with ancient equipment and no ventilation. The bar staff also randomly come and go, so if you go to get a drink at 8:00 p.m. there may or may not be a bar tender at the bar in the lobby which is the first thing you see when you walk into the place. On the positive side, the room rate seemed to be excessively reasonable. Breakfast was pretty okay and security is very tight at night, so you can feel pretty good about staying there. It was good to try but I think I'll pay a little bit more and stay somewhere with nicer amenities next time.
Me sentí como en casa. El lugar es limpio, tranquilo y confortable. Los restaurantes tienen en muy buen menú,el desayuno fue delicioso y el aseo de las habitaciones el hotel es el adecuado. Consienten a los huéspedes.
This hotel is located on a VERY busy street; luckily, they have a private garage. The rooms are super small for a party of two. So small that they improvised a closet with two pieces of wood in the corner of the room. The beds are SUPER uncomfortable. You literally feel like you are sleeping on the floor. Our first night, we contacted the front desk at 2 a.m. to complain about the beds and to request another room, and they confirmed that all beds are the same and that they have received plenty of complaints about the same thing. The buffet breakfast was a joke. Cold food, no flavor, and not enough variety—I will not recommend this hotel and will definitely not stay there again!
Great hotel! With great amenities. Very kind personnel and very good food. Highly recommended. We stayed for the weekend and had a great time, would surely return. Best hotel in the area and very recommended!
20/10 It was amazing from Check in to Check out, the room was beautiful, you could feel the quiet and heritage in the property, and the best bathroom amenities in Colombia, the food was just stunning, I wish I could leave a review in every place I visit, but this one really deserves, you can have all you can eat but you can order from the menu that's great, I hope I can come back soon.
訪訪客When you show up you're pleasantly greeted by a security door you have to be buzzed in to enter. At this point you're probably realizing you made a mistake. It gets better when the attendant is rude and seems like she's very unhappy to see you or any ”guest”. Hotel has ridiculous policies like leaving the key at the front desk when you leave for ”security” purposes. Terrible. If you like hearing ambulances and police cars pass frequently this is the place for you. Barely luke warm water in the shower. On the bright side the shower and bathroom look nice. The room is a good size (I had the Junior Suite) and some of it looks nice. AC works well. The bed is two single beds put together -real classy. Built in ”desk” seemed like it would break if I leaned on it at all. Desk chair is absolutely un-sittable, as is the rock couch in the living room. Nice that there is a mini kitchen, but no plates, silverware, pans, etc provided. They give you two whole glasses. Really would avoid this place.
訪訪客用戶As Marriott Lifetime Titanium, we stay at many hotels, and Cali Marriott provides the best experience, food & beverage and personal service from their friendly and responsive staff. Extra clean, quiet, safe and secure, with a good location near Centenario Mall. We enjoy the expansive buffet breakfast and invite friends and family for the Sunday Brunch at The Market. The Executive Lounge, food and drinks each night, always super service. Housekeeping does a great job servicing our room. We use the on-site transportation almost every day, with modern air conditioned comfortable vehicles. Our last stay was a month and did not want to leave. Looking forward to returning...
Everything was good, the room, the employees and the amiability of the hotel personal was so good The hotel needs to offer others breakfast options and better house kipping services Thanks for the good way to take care of us
訪訪客The bed is good but not the pillow. The AC doesn’t work properly and I didn’t sleep well because of that and the pillows. Anyway I’m ok with the ambient and loved the view from my window . You guys also need a humidifier cause the halls don’t have a good scent and also the elevators they are old and small. It’s weird that the hotel doesn’t look modern
