The room smelled musty. The bed linen was dirty with black stains on the sheets, which had obviously not been washed for sometime. There were soot-like dust stains on the sofas. The bathroom got flooded when I took a shower. They leave plastic sandals for you to walk around in the wet bathroom. I thought that the hotel cost was too high in relation to the quality of the place. I had picked the place because it appeared to be relatively centrally located opposite the Aitchison College. However, there are other hotels in Lahore in the same price range that would offer relatively clean accomodation. I asked the concierge for help with a taxi and they arranged a dirty cab. Car rental companies in the city offer attractive rates with clean, chauffeur cars that are a much better option, I learned later. Despite claims about high speed internet access, there was no access in the room or in the lobby. On the positive side, the staff were helpful and courteous. Perhaps, they did not realize what a shabby accomodation they operate.
