Arcadian Peridot Naran

Dissappointment on the standard

Reviewed By 960adnanq

I recently travelled to Naran and i want to share an experience of mine where i felt our stay was a complete rip off. My travel dates were sept 5th to sept 8th. We were returning from fairy meadows and had planned to spend some quality time in Naran at a resort like location. We knew we would have been tired due to the excursions of trekking so we were willing to pay more if the hotel was luxurious. We had booked 5 rooms at Arcadian, Peridot which is located at Jheel road naran. Before i booked the rooms, i called up the number on their website and spoke to Haider, at their islamabad office. He assured me that the quality and standards of the arcadian resorts were same as their other branches in Kaghan valley as we earlier wanted rooms at khanian, arcadian riverside but they werent available. On arriving, arcadian peridot was nothing like we expected. The rooms had broken doors, some doors of the washrooms did not even close, the furnishings and interiors were very much average. We paid almost double the price per room compared to any average hotel in naran and we were expecting exactly and only what was shown on their website, i.e. rooms with wooden interiors and exquite furnishings. The rooms didnt even have dressing tables or mirrors and my 75 year old grand parents had to keep their bags on the floor. I found out after inquiry from staff that the actual Peridot Naran is under construction on the jheel road and this is just something temporary. This was a big dissapointment majorly because we paid for something extraordinary. The website is also misleading as when you open the peridot tab, pictures of rooms of the riverside, khanian resort show up. Another very important point was that my cousin one night requested one of the staff members for a lift on their bike to go down the jheel road to get something. He smelled charas off the staff member and on further inquiry, our van driver confirmed that the staff was usually high on charas at night as he experienced it happening as he was with them in the quarters at times. The staff and manager shahid, although tried to be accomodating, did not compensate an ounce for the dissappointment we faced. As a group of 11 people, the least they could have done was provide us something to make us feel more welcome or less disspointed with the entire situation. Instead of this, the manager Shahid, became agitated the last day on a petty issue, so much that he became direspectful and raised his voice at my father. Also, one of the staff members commented about how we were spending so much and yet were being particular while checking our food bill. Checking the bill is our right and the staff has no right to say a 100 , 500 or 1000 rs dont matter if we are paying more than 200,000 for the stay. I say this because a small amount WAS unfairly charged. Lastly, we asked if our last breakfast which already was complimentary as per policy, could be provided at the Riverside Resort so we could enjoy their facility but even that was out right refused amongst many other requests. We ended up paying for a lunch at the riverside resort as we did want to visit the location to find out what we were missing. I called up the head office on the third day of our stay while i was returning from islamabad and spoke again to Haider, who listened to all the issues and promised to provide me contact details of upper management. I also followed up a day later but to no avail. Its been more than a week now and i have had no contact from them. All i wanted was to have a pleasant stay but these issues made me question the hospitality industry which is booming in the north. I do not recommend being a guest at the Arcadian Peridot resort as to be honest it is not at all a resort but merely a regular building with spacious rooms and a decent view. I expect a compensation from the management because the luxury rooms we were charged for at Peridot were the same price as their Riverside resort, but no where near worth the experience.

Rockwood Resort Naran

Good experience overall!

Reviewed By atauqir

Rockwood Resort is situated right before the great Naran bazar starts. The building is newly constructed and some part of it is still under-construction. Our rooms were on the 4th floor and there are no elevators in the hotel which is a drawback. The parking space for guests' vehicles is also very limited and congested. The rooms and washrooms were clean. However, there was a lot of noise due to ongoing construction in the area. The food was very nice, specially their parathas in breakfast. Power and water supply is a big challenge in Naran. Warm water was available throughout our stay of 3 nights but there was no electricity every night for about 5-6 hours in a stretch. When inquired, we were told that the hotel is run on generators and they turn them off for a few hours daily to give them some rest. You cannot run any electrical equipment such as electric kettles, Iron, blow dryers, straighteners etc due to the voltage issues. We were very disappointed to know that but I guess this issue is every where in Naran. Overall, it was a good experience.

Such an amazing hotel!

Reviewed By Niss K

Located near mighty Indus River and spread over vast area. Staff are amazing, there is always someone in the lobby to greet you. Security guards on duty at all times. Great size rooms ( comfortable beds, comfortable living space, good showers) are so cosy and clean you just want to stay in your room all day and sleep. The hotel has been built to block out any distractions and encourages for a good rest. The hotel has beautiful gardens and play area for children. We will definitely return in the future and recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Dera Ismail Khan.

Air conditioning problem

Reviewed By E2497RUalit

Rooms were clean. We took interconnected rooms and one of the air conditioners were not working properly. The management ensured us that it will be fine before the night but as we entered to sleep it was not in order. Now my kids have to sleep in a warmer room.
