"Stayed at Pearl Continental Rawalpindi for around one week.
Location: Excellent location right in the heart of Saddar. The entrance feels regal, surrounded by greenery, and the pool area is relaxing—especially at night with the light breeze.
Staff: Overall, the staff were exceptional throughout my stay. I did encounter one unpleasant/rude interaction with a front‑line employee right upon my arrival which I reported to management.
I want to highlight Habiba and Fasih, who were consistently helpful, professional, and hospitable from start to finish. Their service genuinely elevated my experience.
Food: The restaurants were fantastic. Marco Polo offered a great variety of breakfast options, and the tikkas at Bukhara were outstanding—credit to the talented cooks there.
Rooms: The bedsheets were clean, but the bathrooms—especially the toilet—could use more thorough cleaning. The rooms are also beginning to show their age: some shower doors didn’t close properly, and a few fixtures showed rust.
For the prices charged, I expected better upkeep. On the positive side, the rooms are very spacious, hot water was always available, and the backup power/UPS ensured a smooth stay.
Overall: Thanks to Habiba and Fasih’s excellent service and the fantastic dining options, this hotel remains one of my favorite stays in Pakistan. I will definitely return the next time I’m in the area."
