パキスタンパンジャーブで、Wi-Fiのあるホテル

「Despite the design of the hotel are good, with many different choices of restaurants but I need to complain the counter staffs' service. Moving slow and face look cold, not active nor friendly, suggest to have some training to enhance their attitude and procedure. I visit twice but each time we took long time when check-in. Otherwise the room and facilities are okay. Not very recommended until they could improve service quality and staffs attitude.」

「The location of this hotel is excellent, only a 10-minute walk to the nearby shopping mall. There are also several snack shops right downstairs, and ordering Foodpanda at night is very convenient and fast. The staff here are incredibly polite and helpful. Right after I booked via Trip.com, they proactively contacted me on WhatsApp to ask about my arrival time and any special needs. They even sent me a map and their precise location, which was very thoughtful and welcoming. In terms of the room, while there is no dedicated hot water system, the water temperature is naturally warm due to the hot weather in Pakistan. It feels just like a warm shower and was very comfortable. Whenever I had a question, I could just message them on WhatsApp, and they responded almost instantly at any time. I had a great stay here and will definitely choose this hotel again for my next visit.」

「Having read that the Pearl Continental was a 5 Star hotel, made me look forward to staying there. Upon arrival, the staff at the reception desk were very courteous and professional. Check-in was slow due to some alleged computer issue. The rooms were nothing special and looked very tired and in need of renovation. Especially the bathroom, which was on par with a 1 Star establishment. Breakfast was acceptable and service reasonable. Definitely not to 5 Star standards. Again the reception desk staff professional and courteous upon checking out. The icing on the cake for me was when we checked out, I asked where would be the best place to get a taxi. They said they have a desk near the entrance and the staff there can arrange transport for us. So we approached the desk and told them where we wished to go. After tapping on a calculator for 5 minutes the chap told us the fare would be 10,000 Rupees. 10,000 I exclaimed! This was more than double for what the journey should be. I was expecting it to be slightly more as it was being arranged by the staff of a so called “5 Star” hotel. I shared my thoughts on the fare but the chap was not interested. I reluctantly accepted the fare, paid the 10,000 rupees in cash, whilst trying to convince myself that it’ll save me walking a few hundred meters down the road and haggling with the taxi walas in the midday heat. So we were escorted to the vehicle by the chap from the desk. The vehicle wasn’t anything special, just a standard saloon, which had seen better days. The chap from the desk, gesture for me to follow him back to the desk, whilst he asked my wife to make herself comfortable in the car, and the driver began putting our cases in the boot. I followed him back towards the hotel entrance and asked what was going on? He casually replied that he had miscalculated the mileage and would require more money. To which I laughed and replied that the cost was already more than double. How could he be asking for more! I shouted to the driver to take the cases out of the vehicle and asked my wife to not get too comfortable. I then told the chap at the desk that I have never been dealt with in such an unprofessional insulting manner. I voiced that these type of extortion tactics are very unbecoming of a so called “5 Star” hotel. I demanded my 10,000 Rupees, which he grudgingly gave to me. Suffice to stay, I will never be staying at the Pearl Continental in Rawalpindi ever again. It’s most definitely NOT a 5 Star hotel in any shape, way or form. With staff like the guy who tried to rip me off, not once but twice, in broad daylight, just highlights the festering desperation, greed and total disregard of any form of respect or decency that exists here. Absolutely no shame. Anyway we walked 6 feet outside the hotel and got a taxi for 4,000 Rupees for the same journey. Be careful, everything isn’t what it seems. Watch out for these smiling passions and daylight highwaymen.」

「素晴らしい経験と素敵なスタッフ。 私はとても楽しい時間を過ごし、次回もまた来たいです。 trip.comとセレナホテルにとても満足しています。特に私の特別な機会にうわー。」

「ホテル自体は良いのですが、受付の対応が最悪でした。部屋で変な音が絶えずしていたので、部屋の変更をお願いしました。しかし、その日は満室だったため、受付のスタッフは変更してくれませんでした。満室で変更できないのは仕方ないのですが、騒音を止める対応をしてくれませんでした。どんな音が聞こえたのかをAさんに聞くため、2度ほど受付のスタッフ（Aさん）を呼んだところ、Aさんは「別のフロアのハウスキーピングがまだやっているのかもしれない（夜中の1時！）ので確認します」などと言ってくれましたが、1時間経ってもまだ変な音が聞こえていました。明らかにAさんは騒音を止める対応をしてくれなかったので、私は再び受付の他のスタッフ（Aさんの上司であるBさん）を部屋に招きましたが、BさんはAさんの話を聞いておらず、上司であるBさんもAさんが騒音に対して何をしたのか全く知りませんでした。BさんはAさんに騒音に対して何をしたのか聞いてフィードバックすると約束してくれました。しかし、B 氏は何のフィードバックもくれませんでした。翌日の午前 8 時に部屋の変更をリクエストしましたが、受付スタッフ (C 氏) が体調不良のようだったので、C 氏は他のスタッフに部屋の変更をリクエストするように言いました。しかし、何も起こりませんでした。そのため、午前 11 時頃、再度受付に行き、部屋の変更をリクエストしました。しかし、他のスタッフ (D 氏) は、チェックアウト時間は正午なので、まだ空室はないと言いました。しかし、それは私が 8 時に部屋の変更をリクエストしたのに、午後 11 時まで受付に行ったが、何も知らされなかったことを意味します。事前に正午まで待つように通知するべきでした。このようなひどいサービスに非常に失望しました。通知の問題についてはまったく反応がなく、翌日は私が何度もリクエストするまで部屋の変更について何も知らされませんでした。受付のスタッフは非常に貧弱でプロ意識が低いです。」

「Avari Xpressは便利な立地にあり、フロントデスクのサービスも素晴らしかったです。スタッフはとても親切で、頼まなくても部屋をアップグレードしてくれました。ただ、一つ難点を挙げるとすれば、深夜はバレーパーキングが利用できないことです。これは少し不便です。また、部屋の断熱性があまり良くないため、朝は道路の交通量が多いため、少し騒音が気になることがあります。」

「Every thing was great except there was an ongoing construction in next door room which was quite noisy sometimes.」

「I had a great stay at Royal Swiss Lahore—its location next to the airport was super convenient. I felt completely secure, and the staff provided excellent service throughout. The food was delicious, and everything was clean and well-managed. Though on the arrival day they provided me room which didn’t match with descriptions.」

「ルームサービスとランドリーは本当に効率的でした。古い部屋をいくつか使い切っていますが、ヘアドライヤーとワードローブが備わる大きな美しい部屋もあります。エアコンはうまく機能しました。朝食はまともでした。欠点はお湯がなかった。 」

「An excellent hotel with friendly staff and very good local amenities. Well worth staying if you're here for a short trip, at I was. Absolutely superb.」
