Budget
Budget accommodation in Islamabad is fairly lackluster and questionably clean. There are many guesthouses around the city that make a nice alternative to a hotel.

Sohawa Heights Hotel, Pir Sohawa
Up in the margalla hills about 5km past the monal restaurant. an alternative to staying in islamabad proper is to stay up in the hills overlooking the city. rooms are en suite, have satellite tv, and great views over the city from the roof terrace and view to the north over the picturesque valley behind from your bedroom. only really an option if you have your own transport, as its a 30 minute drive from town up the hill. there is a popular restaurant the khokha and some shops / restaurants nearby. rs. 1,200 per room.
