“Excellent Location”

Faraona Grand Hotel

3 of 5 stars
Vancouver

1/1 found this review helpful

We arrived late at night and was glad to be greeted by the friendly staff. The room is pretty basic, but quite comfortable compared to the other 3 star hotels we stayed in throughout Peru.

The TV is mounted from the ceiling, but most channels aren't in english anyways. We kept the channel on CNN, but there's other english channels such as MTV and HBO.

Water in the room is S/.7 which is 3 times the price if you just go to the little shop next door or across the street. The bathroom was clean and we always had hot water when we wanted it. There's also a hairdryer for your use. There's also a safe in the room, but you need to ask for the key at the front desk.

The hotel provides 2 free internet connected computers which we never had to wait too long for. The pool on the roof isn't much of a pool, but just a little puddle of water. We never used it.

Breakfast was decent. Eggs, bread, ham, cheese, and various fruits.

The hotel location is excellent. It's only 1 block from the middle of Miraflores which is a very safe area of Lima. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby.

“Reasonable”

Faraona Grand Hotel

It is a reasonable, 3 star hotel in a rather quite central location (Miraflores). Clean. The rooms are not great but reasonable. Be sure to get the interior rooms, otherwise they give to the street and it may be a bit noise, the wondows are very low quality.

“Excellent location, avoid dining”

Faraona Grand Hotel

This hotel as an excellent location just off Parque Central in Miraflores. Rooms are big enough size, with decent bathroom. In August/September the bar (where you drink your welcome drink (Pisco Sour)) and the dining area gets so cold, you need to wear a fleece. Therefore (and because of the out of tune piano) you'd better and go and dine somewhere else (e.g. La Trattoria down the street). The roof top pool did not contain any water when we were there, but looked it could be nice in summer. Bottled water is supplied in the bathroom, but you have to pay for this separately (7 sol, in a shop this would cost you 2 sol). The free internet access is of decent speed, and if you use it to check in for your flight, you can e-mail the file with the boarding pass to the front desk, and they will print it for you.

“Somewhat disappointed”

Faraona Grand Hotel

Saskatoon, Canada

3/3 found this review helpful

We stayed at the hotel for 2 nights as part of a Peru tour package. The location of the hotel is excellent. It is close to shopping and it is in a safe neighbourhood. The rooms are dated but they are of a reasonable size and fairly clean. Lima is damp and cool in August but there was no heat in the room. You are not allowed to put paper in the toilet, which some folks may find disturbing. There are two computers in a common area for accessing the internet but they are slow and unreliable. Service from the staff was reasonable.

“Nice hotel in a good area”

Faraona Grand Hotel

3 of 5 stars
Canada
Jun 16, 2007
3/3 found this review helpful

We stayed here - admittedly - 3 years ago, but when friends were recently booking their trip, we realized we had not submitted a review. We stayed here at the beginning and end of a 15 day trip to Peru. We realized not all rooms were created equally. The room on our last night was substantially better than that of our first night. Nonetheless, the hotel was clean, quiet (which is a miracle in Peru) and well-appointed. I had wished for a proper safe - which was there in our second stay, but not our first. The breakfast was quite good, and the little cafe made a great latte to get us started each day. The free internet access was a great feature, and the welcome pisco sours were also a really nice touch. Miraflores is a really nice neighbourhood, and Hotel Faraona was in a good location for walking to shops, restaurants and the Indian market on Sunday. While it took a 15 minute taxi ride to get to the sites of Lima Centro, I would not hesitate to stay at this hotel again, for the cleanliness, safety and relative quiet of Miraflores.
