Hotel overview

Located in the bustling Saddar Town district of Karachi, Hotel Excelsior offers a blend of convenience and comfort across its quiet, clean rooms. Situated opposite the popular Atrium Mall, it places guests within easy reach of vibrant markets, eateries, and key city landmarks.

“It's a good hotel, very quiet with fair Breakfast Brunch and Good Coffee. A lot to fo around in sadar bazar near it, and it's opposite to Atrium Mall with good food options, is a street away from Quetta Chai. Only drawback was it's uncontrolled hot water in showers and they don't give you a free pressing for one dress, which is a common norm in most good 3star hotels.”

“A little late but I stayed here around two years ago with family coming from America for almost a month and we felt very comfortable and had 24/7 support and help whenever needed. We want to give a shoutout to Usman and Suleiman for their hospitality throughout our stay. We will definitely consider this hotel again when coming to Pakistan in the future.”

“Good stay in a city with limited tourist options, transferred to hotel from an underwhelming AirBnB | hotel is clean, modern, and updated | AirCon, ceiling fan, bottled water, tea kettle | staff was always pleasant and attentive | asked twice, but not able to draw hot shower (luke warm at best) | wish WiFi was more robust, sluggish at times (consulting not streaming) | appreciated complimentary breakfast, some food items could have been more fresh (cut watermelon, stale cereal) | would easily stay at the hotel if return to Karachi | thank you”

“Clean hotel with nice, clean and cozy rooms. Complimentary breakfast included. Breakfast was decent except the sitting which was very congested. Staff was helpful except a slight hiccup we had with the reception. Location s awesome as it is located in Sadar right opposite to Atrium Mall. Every single thing is within reach. It was bit pricey as it did cost us around 100usd per night for a single room with small double bed. Room service staff was lovely. Avoid ordering food in the room as there are a lot of options outside and taste is much more better together quality and portion size.”

“A very clean, well-maintained and exceptional staff at the heart of Karachi. Awais, Naina and the reception staff were notably the most helpful and welcoming throughout my stay. My review would be incomplete if I didn’t mention the valet staff who helped me numerous times to cross the extremely busy road to the other side. The breakfast is great, buffet options are up to par but the highlight is the cappuccino probably the best I’ve had in my years of travelling.”

“I’ve passed by this road and in front of this hotel countless times, but I never realized that such a beautiful and wonderfully ambient hotel existed right in the heart of the city. It’s not only located in the downtown area but also within walking distance of all the shopping areas. The rooms are very clean and well-maintained, and the bathrooms were also spotless. One possible issue could be car parking, but they have a valet parking option available for that. Overall, the entire hotel is accessibility-friendly, with lifts and ramps.”
