Leaving my comfortable home and saying goodbye to my family to attend a conference in Lahore was already a bit stressful, and I was hoping for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Unfortunately, my experience at "Grand Millennium Hotel" was very disappointing.
The hotel was booked by my university, but honestly, there was nothing Grand about it, nor did it meet the standards of a three-star hotel. The reception is not on the ground floor instead, you have to climb stairs to reach it, and the staff there were quite unfriendly and unwelcoming.
The floor and my room were dirty, the furniture was old, the mattress and bedsheets were worn out, and the towels were frayed. Even the shampoo came in cheap sachets that were extremely difficult to open. I spent unnecessary time in the shower just trying to tear one apart.
Food service was another major issue. Most items on the menu were unavailable, and when something was available, the waiting time was long. There was no lunch or dinner buffet, and the breakfast buffet had only three or four basic options.
The most upsetting part was when the staff "damaged my new clothes while ironing", and there was no apology or sense of responsibility shown.
Overall, I would not recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable or professional stay. It badly needs better maintenance, improved hospitality, and quality control.
