For me, the best in Pakistan. The Serena has a fantastic solidity to it and oozes quality. I've stayed a couple of times in the last few months - in an exec room first and most recently in a standard room. I struggle to find fault 'though I'd suggest that anyone wanting breakfast gives the exec lounge a swerve and... More

The Serena is Serene! Literally. I stayed in the Serena during a recent work trip, I was travelling so used Serena as my base and provided a little oasis of tranquillity in a bustling city. I had x 2 different rooms over the course of a week (due to checking in and checking out repeatedly). The Reception staff were extremely... More

Serena Hotel Islamabad, I rate it as the most beautiful hotel of Pakistan. Its exterior and interior is awesome. Its food quality is good. But the hotel offers you with almost no Pakistani Dish so the hotel is not so good for the desi food lovers but is great for the continental food lovers. More

Excellent place to stay in Islamabad, rooms are very good, pool and gym excellent, grounds spacious enough to walk around in, because heavy perimeter security makes that more attractive than venturing outside, if you are busy. I ran a workshop for 20 to 30 people there, facilities and support for meetings are not as good as other aspects of the... More

A beautiful campus, the front entrance security switchbacks a little unnerving and leaves you temporarily exposed. The rooms are like an old school Ritz or luxury hotel, heavy materials, tonnes of floor space, big furniture. The room shave DVD players, bring a few if you think you are staying awhile. The grounds are refreshing and gorgeous. The food is very... More

I stayed in this hotel for 5 nights whilst on business in January 2012. Transfer from the airport was highly efficient - entrance into the hotel through a complex security system was impressive. Once inside the level of luxury and facilities was unrivalled in Pakistan (and beyond!) The room offered WiFi, a bath and shower, with all the ameneties that... More
