Hotel Friends Inn

Islamabad & Rawalpindi


One of the best of Islamabad's dreary budget bunch, this place is in an alley that links the bright lights of Khayaban-e-Suhrawardy with the earthy curry restaurants in the street behind. The rooms are simple and a little musty, but reasonably spacious and with a small TV.
