Lonely Planet Review

Gilgit Serena is the best hotel in town, superbly sited above town and giving views across the valley to Rakaposhi peak. The cosy, plush rooms have TV, phone and balcony views. The service is excellent, breakfast is included in the tariff, and there is a free shuttle bus for guests visiting the bazaar or catching a flight from the airport. There's an excellent restaurant (Dumani) and nightly barbecues in the garden are of interest to nonguests.
