General Overview and other Pakistan Hotel/Accommodation Reviews

Hotels in Pakistan come in every cost and comfort level ranging from travellers inns with rope beds that cost a few dollars to five stars. If a hotel offers hot showers then you should check the situation before accepting a room. Some showers have only a trickle of hot water while others offer buckets full of luke warm water. Check out is usually late (around 12pm) but sometimes hotels allow you to check out 24 hours which is great if you have a late bus. Please note that some places are not too keen on taking in foreigners and I ve been turned away numerous times in Islamabad and Pindi. They dont have an excuse other than they just want you to go away.

Unique Qualities: They can be dirt cheap and you can usually find a good cheapie in the heart of the action near the bazaars.
