Hotel One Sukkur

Standard hotel. Nothing outstanding to write about. They have rooms with and without the window. Internet connection is really bad. Couldn't do anything in the room. The noise pollution is horrible (ear plugs are a must for people who are noise sensitive). The room without windows won't fix the issues since you hear everything from all the rooms around you. Breakfast is mainly local. So very limited western choice. They do have espresso coffee in the lobby, but it doesn't come close to a proper espresso.

The best hotel I have stayed in since departing Karachi enroute to Lahore. It was called the Royal Taj Hotel but has been taken over by the Hotel One chain (same management as the upmarket Pearl Continental), so it doesn’t have their usual layout. Nonetheless, you will heave a sigh of relief as you step into this hotel as you will immediately know it is a cut above the other local provincial hotels. It’s very clean, plush carpeting and spacious rooms. WIFI works very well and there is hot water. There is also a restaurant off the lobby that does a roaring take out trade. Portions are huge . They don’t have single portions but say they make them for two. For me, the rice dish was enough for three or four people though. If you want to eat in your room, you can order from the same menu and they will bring it to you. The breakfast buffet was also good. I especially liked the halwa with postachios. The one problem with this hotel is that it is along the main Sukkor road and opposite a mosque. I’d therefore strongly recommend asking for a room facing away from the street. Even with my ears stuffed with tissue paper, I could only sleep between 1-6 am due to the noise.
