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

When I arrived at the reception, I was greeted warmly, which felt very welcoming. On my request, they kindly extended the checkout time to 2 pm. The food quality was average; we had Lebanese cuisine. Unfortunately, we missed the breakfast and instead went to Rakaposhi Café, but based on the experience, I would rate the breakfast 3 stars. Overall, the property appears a bit old and could benefit from some upgrades. However, the location is fantastic, very central, and ideal for tourists.

Staying at Serena for the 2nd time - Pakistani hospitality at its finest! They go above and beyond with everything they do, from the complimentary airport/bus terminal pickup to the warm reception (greetings & welcome drinks), to the ambiance /architecture (simple yet classy), the food and the facilities - everything is top notch. Lastly, icing on the cake is that they gladly extended my stay for a couple of hours! Will definitely stay here again another time.

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
