Serena Hotel
The Serena Hotel in Faisalabad,Pakistan is a wonderful hotel whch is of international standard. the rooms were fine, if not a little outdated and in need of modernisation. I appreciate they are going for a classic look, but furniture and soft furnishings still need updated regardless of the look they want to achieve.
My biggest Issue with this hotel is the value factor, it is very overpriced or the service provided, for example comparing it to the Pear Continental in Lahore, the Serena is a baby brother, but they feel they can get away with charging almost double the going rate. I think this hotel has capitalised on its monopoly situation for far too long. I have recently heard that another hotel of standard has opened up, if so, I will definitley give it a try. The staff also think they are a little above the customers they are attending to, my little queries were only dealt with in a swift manner when I requested to speak to the duty manager, at which stage all my request were dealt with rapidly. In a hotel of this standard, this level of service is really not acceptable. So come on all you developers and International hotel companies, get building!
