Hostels in Johar town, Lahore

How much hostels in Johar town cost

Hostel rooms in Johar town are listed between PKR 9,500 and PKR 16,000 a month, with a median of PKR 13,000. 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 Johar town about 10% 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 Johar town

Across the 5 hostels listed in Johar town, the most common room options are 3 seater (from PKR 10,000), 2 seater (from PKR 11,000), 2 (from PKR 15,000), 3-seater (from PKR 13,000), 1 seater (from PKR 15,000) and 4 seater (from PKR 9,500). 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.
