entering the hotel was honestly like we entered for immigration in US
thorough checking of cars and our names and reservations
as soon as Jahaan-panaaz let us through the gates they told us to take out all our luggage and get it passed through their x-ray machines installed right beside their entrance gate... it was quite the khwaari we faced for the 1st half hour we entered serena
there was no one in that machine room to pass our questionable luggage through it so they told us to park your cars and get checked in and they will send our luggage to our rooms

the luggage arrived an hour later

our rooms: well for so much money the rooms were ok
wifi, airconditioning, hot water, clean towels and sheets

rooms's fridge was not working.. water was leaking from muslim shower.. hair drier was not working
other people had complaints about smelly rooms and other things as well

cost of 1 room: 16000/- holiday season rate... but we got some discount on it

Good morning from Serena

DAY 5:
woke up at 10 and went in for the breakfast buffet
variety of breakfast items were available .. which was a good thing

we all got cleaned up and thought to go and see the popular white palace. it was too hot during that time, and people felt lazy
people retired back to their rooms for sometime
some roamed around the hotel .. some started playing badminton

[gameofthrones]

some antiques kept in the hotel
