Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad, is home to stunning natural wonders and modern architecture. The majestic Faisal Mosque, the city’s national mosque, is the fifth-largest in the world. You can delve into the city’s heritage in the ancient village of Saidpur, a worship area of Sikhs and Hindus back in the day. Shakarparian National Park also houses cultural sites, such as Pakistan Monument and Lok Virsa Heritage Museum.

Embark on an outdoor adventure in Margalla Hills National Park, and go birdwatching, hiking, or rock climbing. Hike up Trail 2 to reach the beautiful hilltop garden of Daman-e-Koh, which features a panoramic view of Islamabad. You can also take Trail 3, leading to Pir Sohawa, and dine at the capital’s famous restaurant, The Monal.

With its myriad attractions, Islamabad can be expensive to explore, so we’ve curated a list of the best cheap hotels in Islamabad, Pakistan, for you.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on October 03, 2024.
