I stayed in Karachi for like a month but stayed in SheratonHotel for only 7 days but still is was fun and relaxing.
Karachi Sheraton Hotel is the best 5 star hotel in Karachi and the only internationally managed five star hotel in Pakistan. Just 17 kilometers from Quaid-e-Azam International Airport, the Sheraton Hotel its next to Karachi gymkhana and PC Hotel which are other Karachi's famous Hotels, its center of the business district of Karachi. Instant access to the local shopping, and explore the nearby beaches or see Karachi's well-known places like park towers, dream world etc …
When you
entered the place you will be a bit disappointed because it's not as huge in size as you see in other countries but still it's a nice place to stay comparing to other Hotels, and it's not even that small either. Once you're entered you will see a big coffee area and reception on right side amazingly decorated with comfortable setting area and beautiful paintings to make that an ideal place with good ambiance for Hotels consumers.
My room cost me almost around 150$ per day and the person who was dealing with me was really polite and sweet and guided me very well about the hotel. The time I reached it's was already 10:30 and I was a bit tired too so I left everything for the next day.
The room I got was on 3rd floor and when I entered the room it was well furnished with comfy double bed. :P and a nice black and white tiled clean wash room. The room has certain services and facilities like, mini bar, 29 inch TV with DVD player, free news pappers,sitting area, butler service etc, all the basic stuff is there, so over all the room is perfect for every one.
Early morning at 8 I got up and called up the operator for the breakfast, then they told me I have 2 different option, rather I can have it in my room or go to the breakfast lounge. i went to the breakfast lounge and found it awesome, because it has so many options like you name it and they have it, so its was a great healthy breakfast of me on my first day.
After my breakfast I started searching out on the services they are providing besides the room and breakfast. So I found out some of the services which are as:
Outdoor Pool Car Rental Service Laundry Service Wireless High Speed Internet Access Jogging Track 24-Hour Room Service Wake-up Service Available Outdoor Tennis Court Sauna Airport Pick-Up and Drop-Off (Limited) Massage Treatments Table Tennis Fitness Facility Shopping Arcade in Hotel 24-Hour Front Desk
The Out door pool is an average in size but I find no problem with it, car rental service was fine and they gave me new Toyota corolla and it cost me 30$ a day with driver, Wireless internet was just too slow comparing to broadband in UK; I have seen the jogging track but didn't go for it as I am not such a person who is interested in such activities. Most of the facilities are same as available globally so there is not much to mention about those, even the shopping arcade they have is just few shops. These were the services they were offering, so later in the evening I was hungry because I was out for few hours to meet few friends.
I called up the operator to tell me about the in-house restaurants they have, so they told me that I have a book inside my room which have everything mentioned about the hotel which I didn't bothered reading at the beginning. It has all the details one required to know about the Hotel.
The in-house restaurants they have are . 1 Al Bustan Restaurant 2 Fanoos Lounge 3 The Pakistani 4 Kabab-Ji Restaurant 5 Cozmo
I didn't go to all of them but tried 2, 3 1st one was Cozmo with Japanese food, 2nd one was The Pakistani and the 3rd one was Fanoos lounge the coffee shop/diner. All of them had excellent food with excellent atmosphere and well decorated relating to their culture. Some people will find this hotel as expensive and some will not, but in my case it was fine for me. Giving 150$ a day for such facilities and other options provided by them. The food was a bit expensive so I didn't really want to go to all of them every day.
If you ever in mood to travel to Karachi, better not to think of any other hotel except Sheraton, because they can full fill all your needs better then any other Hotel in Karachi through their excellent customer service and facilities they provides. Good choice for business travelers & others should make sure with the budget they have, or go for a cheaper one.
Hope this few piece of words become use full for some people out there. Comments about this review will be highly appreciated regarding if I have missed any thing else, so I can update it more as per required.
Cheers

Have stayed at the Heathrow Sheraton several times and not been overly impressed, so not sure I'd want to stay in another one of their hotels no matter which country I went to. Thanks for sharing :)
