Marriott Karachi Hotel
Due to its close proximity of the US consulate, the Marriott has tighter security than most hotels you would have visited...

Lahore Backpackers
Roo Ms Islamaba D
Casa Bonita
Daffodils Inn

New Cape Grace Guest House
Dewan E Khas
This friendly hotel is one of the few in Skardu to remain open year-round. The plush, carpeted rooms are warm and comforting with satellite TV and bathrooms featuring bathtubs and showers...
Skardu Inn
This skinny, high-rise hotel was being renovated at the time of research and the rooms with TVs should be worth inspecting.
Indus Motel
The Indus, west of Yadgar Chowk, is a great value midrange hotel with spotless doubles, some with squat toilet and others with sit-down flush toilet. There's a VIP room out the back with TV, carpet and good views for Rs700...
Hilton International Hotel & Restaurant
The cheekily named Hilton is not quite five star and the rooms have deteriorated and are overpriced. Be careful of the switches and wiring if you do stay here.
Concordia Motel
A little further from the bazaar and with a similar view of the Indus River to the PTDC, Concordia has good-value standard rooms, though check the mattress for comfort. The deluxe rooms in the new wing are fabulous, with excellent views...
Hotel Sadpara International
Unfortunately, the simple rooms, a few doubles with TV, and restaurant are all looking very neglected and unkempt.
Napwd Baltoro Resthouse
Three kilometres south of the bazaar is the NAPWD Baltoro Resthouse, but public transport is nonexistent.
Ptdc K2 Motel
Most of the rooms are huge and comfortable, though the plumbing is diabolical so check the shower before you settle in...
Hunza Inn 5 Brothers
The run-down, rather filthy rooms with squat toilet and cold shower make this option a last resort.
Tanveer Hotel
A good budget choice.
Shangri La Hotel
Shangri-La Hotel is a downmarket place by the bus stop north of the bridge. It has small rooms with squat toilets.
Baltistan Tourist Cottage
Easily the best budget hotel in town with clean rooms, good food and manager Mohammad Iqbal, a great source of budget-minded help. This is also the home of Ali Haider, a recommended mountain guide.
Karakoram Lodge
This large hotel boasts magnificent views in addition to its spacious rooms and better-than-average restaurant. It's a 10-minute walk uphill from the bazaar.
Qraqrum Hotel & Restaurant
At Brook Laspur there is the ultra-basic Qraqrum Hotel & Restaurant if you need to stay to catch transport to Shandur.
