Hostels in Barkat Market, Lahore

How much hostels in Barkat Market cost

Hostel rooms in Barkat Market are listed between PKR 6,500 and PKR 12,000 a month, with a median of PKR 7,500. The spread comes down to how many students share a room: a seat in a shared room sits at the lower end, while a private room takes you toward the top of that range.

Against the Lahore median of PKR 14,500, that makes Barkat Market about 48% cheaper than the city as a whole.

Always confirm the current figure with the owner before you visit. Listed rents are reviewed between semesters, and whether mess (food) is included in the monthly amount or billed separately makes a larger difference to what you actually pay than the headline rent does.

Room types available in Barkat Market

Across the 3 hostels listed in Barkat Market, the most common room options are 2 seater (from PKR 8,500), 3 seater (from PKR 7,000), 4 seater (from PKR 6,500), 5 seater (from PKR 6,500) and 1 seater (from PKR 10,000). Rooms with more beds cost less per student, so if budget is the priority start with the largest sharing option and work down.

Each listing shows its own room breakdown, so you can see exactly what is on offer before contacting anyone. Availability changes through the year and peaks right after admissions — if a room type you want is not showing, it is worth asking the owner directly rather than assuming it is gone.
