I'll be staying in Islamabad for two nights this August insha allah. I've searched around on the Internet and have found four reasonable hotels (not too expensive):
1) Holiday Inn
5000.0 (PKR) per night. plus tax
2) Envoy Continental Hotel
5000.0 (PKR) per night. plus tax
3) Best Western Hotel Islamabad
From 5,172.90 PKR per night.
4) Continental House
From 3000 Rps per night.
Islamabad Guppies, which hotel/area would u reccommend?

cm_2000 i say go stay with a friend and i'll take the check for Rs.10,000 that you'll be saving on hotel as my advise fee 
on a serious note, Holiday Inn and PC is good!

^ PC is beyond my budget. Holiday Inn seems OK. Unfortunately, I don't have any friends or relatives in Islamabad 
How about Envoy or Continental House?

guest houses are usually of lower quality, not as clean or professional. Basically a cheap room. You can bargain with envoy continental, that 5000 rupee a night price is just what they put for foreigners who dont bargain. Im sure if their not busy you can bargain it down to even half that, to 2500 a night, especially if your staying for a longer time tell them your staying for so many nights and to give you their best rate inclusive of taxes (taxes are super high)

I've decided to settle for guest house stay instead -because it's cheaper.

Good decision. Spare a 100 bucks for the cab driver and he will carry you to the best guest house. Otherwise he may take you to the guest house where he is commissioned to bring customers.

Embassy Lodges on Club road is pretty decent and would cost you around Rs 3000/-

last year i stayed at a hotel in islamabad and it costed me 2000 per night for an air-conditioned room (u have cheaper options if u dont want an ac)....
it was not so good but i just needed a place to sleep so was good for me....
unfortunately i dont recall the name of the hotel....
am sure u can get cheaper hotels than what u mentioned above; unless if u r really looking for 5 star hotels....
