Must-see hotels in Balochistan

  • Quetta Serena

    Balochistan

    Quetta's plushest hotel by a comfortable margin, the Serena is unusual among top-end hotels in that it looks like it actually belongs to its surroundings …

  • Gardenia Resort

    Balochistan

    If you want to relax a little out of town, this secluded and unpretentious retreat is worth considering. Surrounded by towering, barren mountains, the…

  • Lourdes Hotel

    Balochistan

    Faded around the edges and overpriced, the rooms and service at Quetta's oldest hotel are decidedly average. Nonetheless, it's a Quetta institution with…

  • Hotel Bloom Star

    Balochistan

    The Bloom Star has clean and comfortable rooms but what's drawn travellers here for years are the quiet location and leafy courtyard that's perfect for…

  • Azad Muslim Hotel

    Balochistan

    The cheapest of the cheap in Quetta, the Azad Muslim is particularly popular with Japanese backpackers. Rooms are arranged around a central courtyard, and…

  • Hotel Deluxe

    Balochistan

    The wood-panelled lobby and bright painting of Balochis give a good first impression here. Rooms are fine and about what you'd expect for the price, but…

  • Qasr-e-Gul

    Balochistan

    A consistently good midrange hotel, set a block back from the bustle of the main road. Rooms and bathrooms are clean and well appointed, and the…

  • Zulfiqar Hotel

    Balochistan

    This is another decent budget choice, with rooms around a grassy courtyard that adds a much-needed touch of green. Some of the rooms are a bit cramped but…

  • Hotel Islamabad

    Balochistan

    Rooms here are reasonably good, and you're well located in the middle of Jinnah Rd (although the front rooms cop a lot of street noise). There's a good…

  • Hotel Fabs's

    Balochistan

    This is a good-value choice, but frequently full to bursting. Rooms and bathrooms are slightly better than average, although front of house rooms overlook…

  • Hotel al-Naeem

    Balochistan

    Rooms around a central courtyard are nicely finished in local marble. Some could be larger, but all are kept clean and tidy. Spot-on for the price, and…

  • PTDC Office

    Balochistan

    There are several good options, although they are heavily booked in summer. Ziarat's hotels largely close down in the winter, but you can usually find…

  • Hotel Shees

    Balochistan

    Another option opening straight onto Jinnah Rd. Rooms are average, and still a little gloomy, but the place seems to have improved slightly since our last…

  • Hotel Qasr-e-Naz

    Balochistan

    One of the better midrange options in town, rooms here are large and comfortable, so it's often booked out with local businessmen. Centrally located with…

  • Hotel Maryton

    Balochistan

    A fair enough option - rooms are a bit worn (and have lots of traffic noise) but are just about adequate. Good in a pinch, but you can get more for your…

  • PTDC Complex

    Balochistan

    This 18-room complex is the pick of the bunch, offering the usual reliable but unfussy PTDC service. There's a restaurant, although the breakfasts are a…

  • Al-Karam Hotel

    Balochistan

    Try the basic Al-Karam Hotel or other cheapies along Jinnah Rd. Hotels will almost certainly insist that you register with the police before being allowed…

  • Saqi Hotel

    Balochistan

    Try the basic Saqi Hotel or other cheapies along Jinnah Rd. Hotels will almost certainly insist that you register with the police before being allowed to…

  • CTC Tourist Rest House

    Balochistan

    One kilometre further along the Loralai road from the PTDC Complex, this is not as conveniently located or as comfortable as the PTDC.

  • Shalimar

    Balochistan

    Near the main bus stand, this is a good option for the price, with clean rooms and a restaurant. Open all year.

  • Hotel Marina

    Balochistan

    Opposite the Hotel Deluxe. Rooms here are basic, with a slightly stale air and the occasionally dank bathroom.

  • CTC Office

    Balochistan

    Rooms at the CTC must be booked in advance at the Quetta CTC Office.

  • Shangrila

    Balochistan

    A decent choice for the price, similar in style to the Shalimar.
