What Client's Say?

Stay at Oak Residency in Gilgit was an outstanding experience with high quality facilities and services. It was refreshing to see family values at the forefront. One feels at home, the way facilities are arranged and services extended. A rare opportunity for families and groups to relish while on excursion or work to Gilgit. I was at work with a group of nine people and enjoyed comfortable work environment, a superfast internet, possibility to use HDMI for making presentation to the partners and have extended discussion with my colleagues. My stay was great. Looking forward to stay there again.
