Besides major chains, local hotels, lodges, guesthouses and inns are available throughout different cities and towns in Pakistan and can be booked at competitive rates using their respective websites or booking apps that can be downloaded from Google Play Store. It is, however, recommended that before booking a lodging place you must do some research about the facilities and amenities being offered. Certain hotels that may apparently be cheap might have hidden charges like extra payments for utilities and other services which might make these options more expensive in the end. Its always a good idea to read reviews about a lodging place you plan to book on google or tripadvisor. Booking in advance and sometimes last minute deals may save you lot of money on hotels. In any case safety must be the predominant factor in consideration of hotels especially in far flung areas.
