Lepari Hotel

Lepari Hotel is a basic budget hotel on Hafizabad Road, a short walk from Sheranwala Bagh in Gujranwala, Punjab, Pakistan. Its coordinates place it at roughly 32.15 degrees north and 74.19 degrees east, in the older central part of the city. The central position is the main appeal, as the Samadhi of Maha Singh, the old-city bazaars and the Sheranwala Bagh gardens, associated with the Sikh era of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, are all within walking distance. Gujranwala was the birthplace of Ranjit Singh, which gives the area its historical interest for visitors. The hotel is simple and functional, suited to backpackers, local travellers and budget-minded visitors who want to be close to the sights and street food. Rooms are offered as Single and Double Rooms, with fans or air conditioning depending on the room, so guests should confirm which is provided and pay attention to the summer heat. Rates typically range from PKR 3,500 to 6,500 per night, roughly 12 to 23 US dollars, making it one of the most economical options in the city. A restaurant, pool, spa or gym is not confirmed, but the surrounding streets have many small eateries serving chicken tikka, siri paye, kebabs and sweets for which Gujranwala is known. Service is basic, with staff used to short stays and cash payments. Visitors should inspect the room, check hot water and fan or air-conditioning function, and confirm whether payment must be made in cash. The area around Hafizabad Road is busy and noisy during the day, with traffic, rickshaws and market activity, so light sleepers may want to request a quieter room. Booking ahead is wise during Eid and wedding season, when demand rises across the city and budget rooms fill quickly.
