A true 5 star hotel in this part of the world. Most hotels which claim to be stars tend to at best 3&1/2 to 4 stars by European and North American standards. But this one was truly exceptional. The friendliness of the staff to good and service is impeccable. Keep it up

Overall it’s a fine hotel but staff not very helpful and the cafeteria is like a zoo. You get up your seat is gone. Food comes cold and when you let them know the serves touches the food with his hands to see temperature “oh sorry sir your right” lol. Hygiene issues all over the hotel. Overall for the price in Islamabad, overpriced and bad. Now the good— hmm can’t think of anything

Dear Serena Team, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for yet another pleasant and comfortable stay. Whenever I stay at Serena Hotel, it truly feels like a home away from home. I would especially like to acknowledge Mr. Nouman for his exceptional courtesy and assistance. His professionalism and kind support make the check-in process and all other arrangements seamless and efficient. Thank you once again for your outstanding hospitality. I look forward to staying at Serena during my future visits to Islamabad.

Uzma

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
At first glance, the hotel looks grand and impressive. Many guests are amazed to find a place like this in Pakistan, and the property does stand out locally. However, for anyone who has travelled internationally, it’s simply on par with average high-end hotels abroad — elegant, yes, but not exceptional. It’s nice for Pakistan, not globally prestigious. What truly lets the hotel down is the staff and service. They are often standoffish, unhelpful, and occasionally rude. On the rare occasions they greet you warmly, it feels forced and insincere. There’s also clear bias — Western-looking guests receive noticeably better treatment, while others are largely ignored. The limousine service is a complete scam, with fares doubling for the same route under excuses like “different direction.” Tipping is also expected constantly — even basic courtesy feels tied to how much you pay. Even the “complimentary airport drop-off” policy is absurd. My mother didn’t need the 40-minute airport ride and asked to be dropped just six minutes away instead, planning to continue to the airport herself. They refused and made her pay, meaning she lost her complimentary transfer entirely. Food is average, lacking authentic Pakistani flavour, and even the tea is plain kettle tea. Overall, the hotel looks luxurious but lacks genuine hospitality. Beneath the polished image lies poor service, inflexibility, and favouritism — not worth the price.

The staff were great, food and rooms were excellent. The only criticism I have is that the hotel car hire uses drivers who are not familiar with the areas and often had difficulty getting to my destination.
