Envoy Continental Hotel

Nice location heart of Islamabad

I booked this hotel at last minute and in the early hours of the morning, when the hotel I had originally booked had an issue. Despite the hour the gentleman I spoke to on reception was very welcoming and friendly. He was able to provide me with Room 403 which was positioned at the rear of the hotel. My first impressions of the room were good. It was immaculately clean and had air conditioning and bottled water provided. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom facilities were of a reasonable standard. The room was of a good size and had good wifi. My room had no view to speak of but the rooms situated at the front of the hotel do have a view. The lighting was good in the room but without the lights it seemed quite dark. All the staff are the hotel were delightful and were eager to please you as a guest. I was particularly impressed with house keeping. They really were friendly, very efficient and their attention to detail excellent. They provided a lovely buffet breakfast each morning which gave a good choice of food items. It was all well presented. The hotel is situated in a great location. It is the Blue Area, Sector F9 which is a great area of Islamabad. The hotel has plenty of parking and is situated adjacent to a main road and opposite parkland. It is within easy walking distance of a shopping centre and restaurants and cafes. The one observation I had was that some areas of the hotel in my opinion have been modernised while other areas just still seem a little dated. As much as my stay was very comfortable, the hotel is not cheap and I feel it now needs to compete with much more modern hotels in the area, that have a similar price point.

The hotel was located in a good place, unfortunately the service and hotel cleanness was very poor. I don’t recommend this for family and if you are going for long stay. The hotel was smelling very bad all the where you sleep and move and walk. The hotel was located in a good place, unfortunately the service and hotel cleanness was very poor.
