AOA,
I am traveling to Muree & Nathia Gali on 26th June. I would like to find out the name of the decent hotels and how much does it cost? Is there anyone who have visited Muree or Nathia gali if yes, any advice about hotels, and traveling from Islamabad to Muree would be appreciable.
Thanks
Re: Traveling to Muree, Can anyone recommend Hotels?
26th June is weekend.. hmm.. Last time we did the mistake to go to Murree on weekend (while returning from Naran-Abbottabad) and trust me it was an awful experience. Firstly it took about 2 hours to enter Murree becoz of traffic rush.. (Seems like whole of Islamabad reaches Murree on weekends). The prices of hotels were rocketing high.. Hotels like Blue star hotel & greens view hotel (on bank road) were charging like 3000+ per night which is seriously a waste of money IMO. Hotel Faran is decent hotel in Murree, if you want you could make a stay there but of course its price would be higher because it is considered one of the best hotels in town.
Personal recommendation is to stay at Nathia Gali instead of Murree. There are many hotels there and not much rush. I can not name any hotel though because we did the mistake of not stopping at Nathiagali and advanced to Murree to stay the night.
Thanks a lot for the information. You are right, i should stay at Nathia gali. If you find out any hotel information of Nathia Gali, please let me know,
do you know how far is Sawat from Nathia gali?
also do you know how much would it cost to rent a car and go from Islambad to Nathia gali?
I have called 3 hotles in Nathia gali, summer retreat, green and blue pines all of them doesnt have a space. I wonder where i am going to stay:)

Swat is very far from NathiaGali (if you're worried about peace situation, so no need to worry about it).
I'm not sure about rent a car charges from Isb - NG but I think they won't be much (probably around 1500 - 2000 in a good car). However, its a very rough estimate because I've only used public transport on that route :)
You could try searching Virtualtourist or similar sites, they might help you in hotel search.

thanks sufi_bahi, unfortunately i am not find out in Nathiagali
Re: Traveling to Muree, Can anyone recommend Hotels?
I would definitely recommend hotel Faran, it’s 3 star and it was rs 3000 per night but we went there in April and it’s considered off season so it might be a bit more expensive now. There room service was excellent and room was pretty huge and very clean. It was as good as the room we had in PC Bhurban.
We didn’t like the first room they showed us so we ended up getting VIP family room and it was the best thing we did 
I am surprised that they do have a nice website as well, looking at the picture gallery brought a LOT of good memories of my honeymoon.

I posted this a while ago so just did a copy paste for you sehsan, if you go to hotel Faran, do NOT forget to try their food. It’s a brilliant place and i was pleasantly surprised.

Stay at PTDC @ Nathiagali and i remember around the same area there were few other decent hotels also so you can check them out too. But i would still stick with PTDC.
For Murree, If P.C is affordable then nothing like that otherwise hmm how about one of the army places?! I dont really think murree has any other nice hotels anymore. Few yrs back they had 1-2 nice places but last i went abt a yr bk everything lukd weird. I remember we stayed at heaven view and tehmina's lounges quite a few times n they were quite nice bk then but i m not sure about now.
Just be careful with the food and even the accomodation because nowadays as it is people r getting sick with diarrohea and what not so just be extra careful with everything. Have a great trip :)
