Police inn | Hotel

I had to pay 2000 RP per night for a 4 bed dorm room. 2 police officers were sleeping there also. The shower was cold.

We arrived from Islamabad without any escort and tried 2 hotels but heard only La Taska (about 4000 PKR) and Hotel One (about 8000 PKR) take foreigners. We then tried La Taska, they said they were full and called the police.
The police demanded to take us to ‘Police Club’ and over the phone a guy told us it is 4000 PKR.
It turned out to be this place. Supervisor Ghalid did the talking. Nogatiation took indeed long. Pricing was discussed over phone with another guy and minimum was 3500 for a double with private bathroom or 2000 for a 4-bed room with shared bathroom. They now have 12 rooms, have wifi, AC, showers, and what we have seen reasonably clean. Even a honeymoon suite. They receive foreign visitors that need security here (Chinese workers, ambassadors, etc).
We told we’d drive on to Sukkur if they won’t let us stay for 1000 PKR, but they said they wouldn’t allow us. Started bullying a bit and then told us to relax. Gave us tea, prepared a great meal and talked for more hours. After 4 hours Ghalid offered us a nice room for 2000 PKR. Finally we also paid 1000 PKR for the dinner. Fair prices for a commercial hotel, but the annoying thing this is that this will probably go into their own pockets...
Second disadvantage is that our escort started from here, although we explicitly refused. At the handover points we shook them off twice, but they found us back. Somehow the escort stopped somewhere between Ghotki and Pano Aqil when we reached the ‘peacefull area’.
Not a bad place to stay, but intense and still the cheapest option. Probably camping is free, but for us too hot in July.

They asked for 5000 rupees, but after some negotiation where we said that we would pay max 500 rupees otherwise we would go to a proper hotel with real facilities, we got it for free. They would clearly rather let us stay than do more escorting.

Don't let the police take you to this place. This is not a hotel its just a safe zone with a man making money of stranded tourists.. they ask 5000rp for a room and there is only one room with 3 beds in that same room there were a bunch of chinese people there is no wifi and no shower. There is another more expensive hotel in town but we wanted the cheapest option. After haggling for more then an hour and socialising with the police office (akbar) he convinced the manager to let us stay in out tent. Eventually they let us set up our tent in the big garden and akbar ordered pizza for us.
