It's been years since I was there, but for a very long time, the Salvation Army was the place to go in Lahore. Camping or dorm accomidation. Hot showers, use of a good kitchen and a doctor is there if you need one. Very friendy and highly recomended. Overlanders are usually there. I was there on five or six occasions over a ten year period. Also, there are hotels in Lahore that change names too fast for the gudebooks to keep up. They are famous for robbing western travellers and they work with the police so you are helpless. This has been going on for years. Even American Express knows about it, they replace so many travellers checks and hear the same stories over and over. The Lonley Planet guidebook has a section describing this problem (or it used to).
