Faranada colletion Barranquilla definitivamente superó mis expectativas, el hotel es muy hermoso, sus camas extremadamente comodas, la calides y amabilidad del equipo se sintieron desde el check in hasta el check out, siempre dispuestos a servir y hacer sentir al huésped especial, shirly, zamir, Nayla y Alexandra fueron super atentos y sonrientes en todo momento, espero regresar pronto y volver a disfrutar de este magnífico hotel.

The credit card was stolen the second time after check-in. I was told that I bought the ticket online. It was probably taken by the front desk when I checked in. Keep your eyes on the credit card when you check in!

This was the first of 3 hotels we stayed at over 6 nights. It is an older hotel but has been maintained. Only complaint we were not able to control the a/c unit in the room. They staff does speak English and are friendly and knowledgeable. They have an excellent Breakfast buffest each morning with was included in our rate. The roof top looks like they might be doing some work on. but is accessible , provides a view of Barranquilla *( best to see at night the city lights) . The pool is on the 3rd level with a bar area also ( not sure of the hours for the bar) is a decent size.

Una servicio impecable desde que llegas te reciben cálidamente, en un ambiente elegante, la comida es excepcional! Habitaciones cómodas y las áreas comunes limpias/ it was a very impeccable service, upon you arrive at the hotel you are able to feel comfortable and homie, the customer service is exceptional, the rooms are great clean and spacious, the amenities areas are always clean, main dishes are great highly recommended the picada del sol ( fried pork, fried plantains!

After staying more than a week in mediocre hotels as a tourist this Ibis is a whole relief. Back to European standards with a modern designed hotel and modern rooms, buffet breakfast, so all you can eat, instead of the tiny breakfast at most B&B's. Location close to a modern big mall. Standard room is ok with a good bathroom, bed a bit too hard and the biggest downside you can't open a window, which is noticeable in the hallways as well, a particular smell as there is never fresh air coming in. Free indoor parking available, good wifi.

Saturday September 16 - Receptionist was extremely rude questioning why I was in the country and my documentation. I asked about my reservation, my family member needed a place to stay for two nights. Since one of my initial reservations was two queen beds I asked if that was easier or just adding the room. My reservation was for 1 person, with a king sized bed. The receptionist said I had to pay in full at once for my 1 person, with a king sized bed room. Come to find she charged me an additional $500 from the original reservation. I was stuck paying for a double room for 8 nights at $500 more than any reservation I already had. When I questioned the cost, that they had already charged to my accounts, I was told I needed to contact the third party company I had booked through or could leave but there are no refunds. Last year when I visited this hotel we were treated with kindness and respect, which is why I chose to return. This time I was treated like a criminal. Once to our room, there was a lizard in the room!!! Running around!!! Extremely frustrated and scared, I returned to the reception to share my findings for them to roll their eyes and change my room. They said lizards are native to the land and very common. At dinner - The waiter dropped waters on my aunt, then forgot my other aunts meal, then the manager came to argue about tips because my mom wanted to confirm the tip went to our waiter after over hearing the manager shout at the employee. The manager said he gets his cuts and the tips are distributed through the entire staff whether she likes it or not. Friday September 22 - During my breakfast I was not acknowledged by any employees. As I almost finished my meal..There were cockroaches crawling around the tables .. At the end of the night, as I arrived to the hotel room, I asked for toiletries as the given quantities are minimal and so with this heat I find myself showering at least twice/day - Then the attendant asked why I was using so many toiletries. September 22 - I sent 3 clothing items to the laundry - My bodysuit (blouse) was ruined. It was returned with yellow bleach stains all over the straps. This is absolutely the worst experience I’ve ever experienced at any hotel in my entire life.

I cannot say anything nice or anything bad about this place overall. The air-conditioning feels like it is not working well. The desk staff doesn’t appear overly helpful but not necessarily rude. Just mainly indifferent to us. The “revolving” restaurant is only open four hours a day and you must make a reservation, the desk cannot do it. I have stayed practically everywhere in this area when we come to see my in-laws. I was surprised at how mediocre it is. The housekeeping staff is friendly, we always leave a propeno. There was a university having a recruiting event here. I have stayed at better but was always told this hotel was the premier. The location would be its biggest selling point to me, we have family two blocks over. If the service was better and the restaurant was open later I would call it 4 star, it is not five star.

The hotel is located a couple of block from a very nice shopping center with plenty of restaurants and shops. The hotel is very nice as you would expect a HGI to be. I would say it is even nicer than the same hotel brand in the US. The price was very reasonable. The hotel staff was very professional and courteous. The breakfast was very good. You can order eggs any style you like. It offers some items from the typical food from the region although that would be the one aspect I would say the hotel could increase its wow factor. I definitely would recommend this hotel and would return when I travel to Barranquilla.

From reading other reviews I expected a high quality hotel but I felt that this hotel is a bit tired and the room was poorly maintained. We booked for three people but the room was only set for two, we didn’t have enough towels. The reception staff were very good. The rooftop bar and pool area is tired and not maintained well. The service staff made us feel like an inconvenience. The menu is limited to fish, meat and cheese dishes so if you are vegan there is nothing to eat and none of the options are healthy food. The breakfast was ok but they don’t have decaffeinated coffee or black tea. The bread was all stale. The yogurt was like a drink rather than properly set yogurt. In the end I had an ok breakfast but they could do it much better with the same resources. Our room wasn’t very clean in every corner in the bathroom there was a build up of dirt you would have to assume a vacuum cleaner is never used. I have never stated in a hotel room where you don’t have tea and coffee facilities. There is room service but with limited hours of service and nothing in the room to direct you to a menu or explain the options. We had a twin double bed room as my young daughter shared with us but I had to ask for a room lamp as the only lighting options were all very bright 6000k lights on or be in the dark so once my daughter was asleep we’d have to sit in the dark. An employee did bring us a lamp so that was resolved but they did seem surprised this caused us a problem. The room seemed to be missing a coffee table. I wouldn’t stay here again as it was just not comfortable or properly clean. There were signs of poor maintenance everywhere especially regarding electrical fittings in the room.
