Diamond Lodge

The staff were kind and helpful, and the service was excellent for an affordable price. It’s a well-run place to stay in Karachi. If you often come to the city for short trips, give it a try. I don’t think you’ll regret it.

Food can be ordered from nearby shops for a charge, and the location is central, near a market and mosque. Rates are reasonable, and there’s plenty of parking inside. Each room has a TV, air conditioning, and a refrigerator, with rooms available for two, three, or four people. I’d call it a motel or inn rather than a hotel. The atmosphere overall didn’t feel suitable for families.

I’ve visited Karachi many times and usually tried a different hotel each time. For this trip I booked IBIS lodge, and I’d recommend it to anyone coming to Karachi who wants a room at a budget-friendly price. The rooms are beautiful and the service was great.

We used to choose this place whenever we visited Karachi. It’s right in the middle of DHA, which kept our Uber bills down, and it used to have great management. This time the service was pathetic. The staff were rude, as though we were staying for free, the rooms weren’t clean, and there wasn’t proper hot water for showers.
