Skardu Lodge

Great location near many restaurants and shopping. Javed, the owner, is really helpful and caring and speaks excellent English. I stayed here for quite a few days while recovering from food poisoning and he offered to take me to the hospital. The shower always had hot water which was a big plus.

Beds were not the most comfortable but decent, and rooms were overall very nice, sometimes just very hot in the afternoon depending on the weather. WiFi was just okay as power cut pretty often.

Great place to stay ☺️ kind owner and rooms are really clean!

Absolutely best place to stay in Skardu on a budget. Javed and his assistant Shabbir are incredibly kind and helpful and go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. The room was quiet and had a beautiful view of the garden. When I needed to go grab something from the store when nothing was open Javed personally took me in his car. He even helped me arrange a shared taxi to Gilgit on the day of my departure. Will continue to recommend to other travellers and return when I am in Skardu. Additionally, it is safe for solo female travelers and Javed also arrange day tours to different areas according to the foreigners taste which is a huge plus!!

Good base for trekking. We stayed a few days but it wasn't really suitable for an older couple. Staff were friendly and helpful and looked after us.

Steps slippery. Downstairs room was dark with no view. Step up into shower was hard for an older couple - fine for young people. No hot water in shower until we asked for it.
