a real surprise… I found this hotel on my map looking for an overnight stop on our way to Shimshal. Half an hour after we arrived we felt like in heaven. Beautiful surrounding, great views, lovely interior, friendly service, good maintenance, tasty food and a charming owner. Well we dropped in three times…

A fantastic hotel in a fantastic place We were a group of 8 friends visiting the Gilgit-Baltistan region for 2 weeks in November 2021 and spent 2 nights at this great hotel. Despite it was a short stay we had a wonderful time here. The service was extraordinary, excellent cuisine, friendly staff. The owner, Meherban is a great host, he even organised a Hunza dance night for our group. He always had time for us. The hotel is build the traditional hunza way and has all the comfort one needs. The rooms ar spacious, clean, comfortable beds. The bed warmer/heater was a nice surprise and very welcome in november :-) Super hot water in the shower! The area is beautiful, surrounded by majestic mountain peaks, the Passu glacier and the Passu cones.

Best hotel in Passu We stayed in Sarai Passu for 1 night in July and it was an amazing experience. The owner and staff are super welcoming and helpful. The rooms are so comfy and clean. we loved the food, had our breakfast in the lawn with a beautiful view of Passu Cathedrals. Went for a short hike to Passu Glacier, which is 1.5 hrs from the hotel. Overall our experience was good and we would like to visit this place again and explore more.

Good budget hotel The hotel has good location however it needs lot of improvement compare to the price they charge. Doors were faulty. Bathrooms weren’t clean. Restaurant doesn’t offer very good food, however staff is very courteous. There’s a restaurant right in front of this hotel called Yak Grill. One can go and try the chili yak meet.

Wonderful stay at Sarai We visited Hunza in July and out of all the places we stayed at , we found Hotel Sarai to be the best in terms of its location , service and hospitality. The owner Mr.Meherban went out of his way to help and guide us throughout our stay. He recommended great places to eat at and precautions to take . It’s heart warming to see the kind of genuine effort he puts in making sure all his visitors are comfortable . His staff likewise were accommodating to all my requests as I had small children with me . I was especially enthralled by the excellent internet connection they had . Away from the hustle and bustle and providing an uninterrupted view I loved every minute of my stay there .
