The hotel offers an exceptional dining experience with a variety of food stations set up in the gardens but falls slightly short on the overall food quality. The location is superb, full of roses and pines, with a beautiful view of the mountains. The service is consistent but could use more friendly interactions. The rooms are as spacious and tastefully decorated as any other hotel run by the Agha Khan Group, facing the street, and offer excellent food choices.

The hotel offers very spacious and beautifully furnished rooms, equipped with all the amenities you would expect from a five-star hotel. The rooms are clean, well-serviced, and each has its own AC unit. However, the service can be inconsistent at times, with some staff members being indifferent and unfriendly. The central location makes it easy to reach most destinations in town, but the presence of several security checkpoints can make accessing the hotel a bit challenging. The dining experience is fantastic, especially on Fridays when many visitors come for the meals, although the overall food quality may not be exceptional. The value for money is reasonable, considering the level of service and amenities provided.
