CASA FAENA MIAMI BEACH

Rooms were small for the price expected a little more space. The decor of the hotel is beautiful and the staff is very friendly. Only problem I had was the space and saw some ants on the bathroom. Besides that the location is wonderful but no parking on the hotel. Its located right on the strip and next to the beach. Wish we had more time to enjoy the beach.

A SCAM! This hotel, Casa Faena is a scam, people be careful! they do massive marketing on all the booking sites and use the brand of their luxury hotel Faena calling themselves Casa Faena and offer something more boutique with a normal price, but not cheap at all, they call it "our little sister" in fact there is no connection between them and the luxury hotel that they said they are related to, So unrelated that they didn't even put a sign with their name outside and they've been there for many years and are hiding under the name of another hotel (see photo)something more boutique with a normal price, but not cheap at all, they call it "our little sister" in fact there is no connection between them and the luxury hotel that they said they are related to, So unrelated that they didn't even put a sign with their name outside and they've been there for many years and are hiding under the name of another hotel (see photo)
The place looks like a hostel with some decorations, the entrance is through a restaurant which is noisy in the evening and you can hear the people from the rooms, the reception is a kind of strange counter at the end of the restaurant, everything is not up to standard and very simple, not like a 4 stars hotel supposed to be. the rooms are old in the shower there is no place to put even a toiletry bag, if you want to sit down and drink Something, the hotel does not serve anything, we were assured by phone that the hotel has a beach chairs and umbrellas the most important thing in Miami, since the hotel does not have a pool, we called specifically to ask and when we actually arrived it turned out that we had to carry a chair and a towel, the hotel does not have a beach and the hotel is not on the beach at all so it is necessary Walk 10 minutes with roads and carry chairs.
You are sitting in a public place with a folding chair, for the price we paid we could have taken a hotel with a pool and breakfast and a private beach with lounge chairs, we paid an exorbitant price for the brand and got a hostel with a different name, simply cheating
In addition to everything, the internet in the room did not work and we had important conversations at work and we could not have them, we had to go to a cafe in the rain to have the conversations when we paid for a 4 star hotel. We spent 3 days on the Internet and they told us that a technician was coming, who never arrived!
Faena are all over the street, a clothing store, an art store, designer stores, a luxury hotel, everything has their name big on the outside, why isn't there a name here? The booking is with Casa Faena, As if they are ashamed of this hostel, so why are you deceiving people as if this hotel is part of Faena when outside there is the name of another hotel? The main thing is that they put a book by the founder Alan Faena in the rooms. Shame.

Good - Location and style.
Bad - VERY loud, paper thin walls, dance club below you.

the location of this hotel is great. Right next to the beach and the style of the building and rooms is very nice.

The major problem wit this place is how noisy it is. The restaurant on the first floor turns into a night club and you can hear the thump thump thump of the music until 11 or 12 at night. We had a room that faced the street and was over the restaurant. The noise really carries, since the building is all tile and stucco. Echo chamber. Sunday morning they had some music in the restaurant that you could hear in our room too. I went down stairs and the volume wasn't very high in the the restaurant, but you could still hear it in our room on the third floor.

The walls are also thin or have no insulation. Our neighbors were having rather loud sex and their tv was turned up so we could hear it clearly. they quieted down after we pounded on the wall.

I’ve stayed when having to book a last minute spot and it’s always been solid. Simple and yet cool boho decor. Great location but since they have a restaurant/club in the building it is loud during late hours. Food at gitano was delicious and I loved walking around to grab coffee in the morning as it’s more peaceful.

My first time leaving a Google review, because it was THAT bad.

Do not stay at this hotel. Casa Faena is incredibly loud, with noise coming from the upstairs club until 3 am on both weekdays and weekends. Constant flow of very intoxicated people who are not staying on the premises.

The bass reverberates throughout the rooms on the third floor, being at a constant 60 - 70 dB throughout the night. Once the club closes, they move furniture around, so it is guaranteed that you will not be able to sleep until 4 am. The staff are incredibly unhelpful about this matter and will fully ignore any requests for relocation in an incredibly rude manner.

Not to mention that the downstairs cafe / restaurant is also unbelievably loud at least until midnight. The elevator to the rooms is located next to the public restaurant and the same one that goes to the club (there is only one). It does not require a room key to operate, so truly anyone can enter guest floors and linger in the lounge area outside the rooms. Very reassuring and safe when you are staying solo.... plus, the room doors are very thin and old. It takes a while to figure out the "deadbolt" as well since the lock, at least on my door, was installed very loosely.

Overall, It is very overpriced for the service, safety, state of the rooms, and location. Wish I could speak to management, but there is no way to get in touch with them.

Lastly, unlike all other hotels in the area, they do not have any lounge chairs on the beach. You have to request plastic portable chairs with the concierge, which they will never explicitly tell you about unless you ask for it.

Please avoid this hotel at all costs.
