The "resort" called Shimla resort in Abbotabad was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. I cannot remember ever getting such bad service. The staff at this Shimla "resort" were disorganized and the facilities were VERY bad.
We had no choice but to stay there for one night. It was horrible.
The rooms in this hotel had no netting on the windows. Since there was no air conditioning, I had to leave the windows open. There were red ants on the floor of the room and the walls. If I kept the window closed, then we would have no air circulating in the room. The ledge outside the window revealed rows of ants and other bugs walking in.
I went with my wife and daughters there. Any one could have come in at night on the ground floor with the windows open there.
When I brought this to the attention of the person on the front desk, he told me to sit in the dark with the windows open. I am paying for a dark room in resort??
At 11 pm the "manager" decided to watch Z TV at full blast in the front of the hotel. There are no carpets and the noise level was very high. Added to this shrill sound were some kids who were running and screaming in the halls. The manager ignored these kids and went about watching the show.
When I approached them about this noise, he appeared to be surprised that we actually wanted to sleep. He told me that I should not be expecting three star hotels here.
This hotel is not even worth half a star. A more appropriate term would be a black hole.
The toilet released sewer smells every time we flushed. This is an easy problem to fix should the owners be bothered.
The bathrooms are a death trap if you are not careful. The wiring on the water heater is right above where one would take a shower. The wires are rusted and open. The light fixtures in the bathroom are broken with loose wires. I could not take a shower there because of the stink and fear of electrocution.
Third class. Go to Pearl instead or better yet lay down on the street. It'll be cheaper.
The cutlery in the kitchen was dirtier than that found on streetside cafes. We did not eat there. Do not go there.
Unlike other Pearl Continental hotels PC abbottabad is a small, old, not well maintained hotel. Basic room facilities are provided. Charges are higher than other hotels of equal standard.
