21 hostels
HostelNama lists 21 student hostels across Lahore with monthly rents from PKR 6,500 to PKR 35,000. Most listings are concentrated in Faisal Town, Barkat Market and Johar town — the areas where student accommodation in Lahore clusters. If you are choosing by campus rather than by area, the largest clusters sit near FAST, UMT and Punjab University. Every hostel here is visited before it is listed, and each profile shows real photos, room types (shared and private), mess arrangements, and amenities such as Wi-Fi, UPS backup and security. There are no broker fees and no commission — you message the owner directly on WhatsApp to confirm the current rent and arrange a visit.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a student hostel in Lahore cost per month?
Listed rents run from PKR 6,500 to PKR 35,000 a month. What you pay depends mostly on how many students share the room — a seat in a three or four bed room is the cheapest option and a private room the most expensive — and on whether mess (food) is included in the monthly rent or billed separately. Confirm the current figure with the owner, since rents are often revised between semesters.
Which areas of Lahore have the most student hostels?
Right now the areas with the most listings are Faisal Town (13), Barkat Market (3), Johar town (3), Kalma Chowk (1), Model Town (1). Areas next to the larger universities fill up first, so start there if you want to be within walking distance of campus.
Do I have to pay a broker fee or commission?
No. HostelNama is free for students and free for hostel owners. There is no booking fee, no commission on rent and no charge to see contact details — you message the owner directly on WhatsApp and deal with them yourself. Anyone asking you for a fee to arrange a hostel listed here is not acting for us.
Are there separate girls hostels in Lahore?
Yes. Of the 21 hostels listed, 4 are girls hostels and 17 are boys hostels. Hostels in Lahore are single-gender rather than mixed, and girls hostels list their security arrangements, curfew policy and warden details on each profile.
What should I check before booking a hostel?
Visit in person before paying anything. Ask what the rent covers (mess, electricity, Wi-Fi, laundry) and what is billed on top, since electricity in summer is often the largest extra. Check the curfew, the number of students per room, water and backup power during load-shedding, and how far it actually is from your campus on foot. Ask about the security deposit and whether it is refundable.
