Convenience is really the whole pitch at PK Hostels, and the numbers make the case. The University of Lahore's Islamabad campus is essentially next door at 60 metres, roughly a one-minute walk, which is about as short as a student commute gets. NDU sits under two kilometres away and Bahria Islamabad a little further out. The hostel occupies Saeed Plaza in the Blue Area, near the TCS office at China Chowk, so you're in the thick of the city's commercial spine rather than tucked away in a residential lane. Abbasi Restaurant is metres from the entrance, Goodwill Pharmacy is close for the odd emergency, and the Metro Bus terminal at Parade Ground is within easy reach when you need to move across town. On the amenities front it keeps things simple with an on-site cook, so daily meals are handled without you chasing dhabas after class. Rent is among the gentler options around, running PKR 21,250 to PKR 31,250 per month, which suits boys watching their budget in an otherwise pricey part of Islamabad. If a rock-bottom commute and a central address matter more to you than a long feature list, this one earns a look.
