A superb hotel! I stayed here with friends from London during the Pakistan v England Test Match and we could not have been made to feel more welcome by the the extremely friendly and helpful staff. The location is excellent, right next to Islamabad Club, with views over 22nd and 23rd holes of the 'new' section of the golf course. The gardens are beautifully manicured and the flowers and plants attract host a variety of butterflies and birdlife, including woodpeckers and hoopoes. Our rooms were of a very high standard, very clean and comfortable, with a few steps leading down to a separate living area with two sofas and armchairs. Breakfast each morning at the buffet restaurant was delicious, with eggs and omelettes cooked to order and a wide range of other dishes available, catering to all tastes. The Margala is very conveniently situated, a two minute drive from the Serena Hotel (where the England team were staying), with central Islamabad and Rawalpindi only a few minutes away by car. Pindi stadium is 20mins and the airport is 30mins away. All in all, a truly memorable stay at Margala - a huge thank you to all the staff for making us so very welcome!
