Faranda Collection Cali, a Member of Radisson Individuals

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.

A good hotel to stay at in Cali with loads of dining options. Neighbourhood felt safe and well connected. Staff at the hotel were wonderful and always helpful. Rooms are clean and provide everything you would expect from a hotel at this level. Breakfast was good as well. Only suggestion would be more variety and options for the breakfast.

It was a great place to stay in while I was visiting Cali. They were very friendly, the food was delicious and it was well located

The management and staff as excellent but the immediate area around the hotel does not feel safe. The rooftop is also often rented out for private events - limiting access to this space. The hotel itself is average and staff are clearly doing the best with what they have. I would recommend searching for other options.

Property was so clean and breakfast was great. Staff very nice and helpful. It’s right by the river. 10-15 min anywhere with a cab. Cabs are everywhere and affordable 5-6 American dollars. Zoo is close and was great.

My wife and I stayed for 1 night, and when we arrived there was no A/C. For a city like Cali, A/C must be needed as the weather is rainy and the humidity is high. We spend a terrible night dealing with the heat, even sleeping with the window open, we had no way to cool down the room.

Very friendly and accommodating staff, great location and confort

The hotel was beautiful. The staff were welcoming and friendly and the overall atmosphere of the area was lively. I would definitely stay at Faranda again.

nice design hotel, staff with great attitude and eagerness to help, nice river views, well located to move north or south of the city, agreement with parking nearby, good breakfast with local products, really confortable pillows.
