Stay in Skardu

Mr. Saqlain is a wonderful and very welcoming host. The rate is extremely affordable and, in my experience, probably one of the best-value stays you can find in Skardu. My stay was comfortable, and as it was my first time in Pakistan, I really appreciated how helpful and accommodating Mr. Saqlain was throughout my visit. He also offers bike and car rentals, as well as tour services, which makes things very convenient if you want to explore Skardu and the surrounding areas. Just keep in mind that this is a simple homestay rather than a hotel, so the facilities are quite basic and the washrooms could use some updating. However, considering how affordable the stay is, I felt it was very good value for money. If you're looking for a budget-friendly place with a genuinely helpful host, I would definitely recommend staying here.

Washrooms could use some updating but considering how affordable the stay is, I wouldn't mind.

We booked our stay with Saqlain Bhai. Due to his previous guests extending their stay, there was a small change in the arrangement, but he made sure we did not face any inconvenience and arranged our stay at Decent Guest House. The guest house is located near Baltistan Resorts, with markets nearby and a beautiful view. It offers great value for money. Don’t expect luxury hotel-style room service, but if you are comfortable with a more homely setup, it is a great option. You can use the kitchen, order breakfast, and enjoy a more relaxed stay. The highlight for us was the beautiful garden with fresh cherry trees and fruits — it was such a lovely experience. A special thanks to Saqlain Bhai for making sure everything was arranged smoothly. Also, thanks to Aslam Bhai (owner) and Aarif (manager) at Decent Guest House for being so cooperative and taking care of everything we needed, including hot water, breakfast, and overall comfort. For anyone looking for a comfortable, peaceful, and value-for-money stay in Skardu, I would highly recommend this place.

One area that could be improved is the room service and cleanliness. However, keeping in mind that this was an economical stay, our expectations were realistic. With a little improvement in these areas, it could become an even better experience for guests. Overall, considering the location, hospitality, beautiful surroundings, and value for money, we had a good experience and would recommend it for travelers looking for a comfortable and affordable stay.

If you need a place to stay at a great price, then this is the place.

Saqlain Bhai was an exceptional host , very kind, welcoming, and always ready to help. He made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay and gave us great local recommendations. The place was clean, peaceful, and offered beautiful views, making our stay in Skardu truly memorable.
