Simara Hotel

Islamabad & Rawalpindi


The most popular choice in Sitara, the carpeted rooms here are quite small and uncharismatic, but comfortable enough. Plainly furnished, they come with a television, little coffee tables and small tiled bathroom. A plus point is the hotel's quiet location, away from irksome traffic din. Simara is one of the most congenial places for solo women travellers.
