Rose Palace Hotel, Gulberg

Good average budget hotel Generally clean but no drinks in room Could be better and offfer more

The room service and laundry were really efficient. Although they have some run down older rooms, there are also large beautiful rooms available with hairdryer and wardrobe. The air conditioner worked well. The breakfast was decent. The downside was no hot water.

Booked this place for a family visit at the start of March. Was shocked to witness the actual rooms as opposed to what is shown in the photos. The rooms are dark, smell of smoke, not cleaned properly and do not have any windows at all. People smoke in the corridors all the time further aggravating the situation. There is no concept of room service, no on comes to fix the beds, stained towels are provided, and the electric kettle they provided was filthy. No one should book this place.

This hotel was booked my a tour I was with and from the moment I arrived I was shocked! There is no proper reception - the men don’t speak English; it’s dark, dirty and smells of smoke. The corridors are dark and dingy. The rooms are disgusting! The decor looks like it’s still in the dark ages and the bathrooms - wow!! They are horrific! The hotel website is a complete photoshop of what the hotel is “like” The restaurant area is ok, but if you are sat outside and they use the BBQ area you are smothered in smoke. The hotel was that bad that within a few hours of arriving I checked out and moved across the road to the Ramada. This hotel is not 3 star …it’s not even 1 star! It’s by far the worst place I’ve ever been to.

Arrived after midnight for check-in. The staff were friendly and efficient. Room was average but clean. The best part of the stay was location of the hotel which provided free parking. The restaurant was large and very clean. The breakfast was a freshly laid buffet and was excellent.
