If you only need to have a cheap place to sleep, then you can endure this hotel. We arrived and were basically interrogated because we didn’t have the reservation printout as it was taken at the airport during the visa on arrival process. Then when we entered the mosquito heavy room, our comforter looked like people had sat on it and ate a meal on the street and the sheets had holes all over them. We got in late so requested a change the next morning. It wasn’t until day three that the staff acted helpfully. The shower didn’t have hot water the first night and about an inch of dust on the shower head. It was pretty filthy. When they cleaned the room, it looked a bit better but thoroughness was not part of the process. The location was good for some really good restaurants, close to the airport, some good shopping. The main tourist sites are about an hour or so away traveling through crazy heavy traffic. Key note: be aware of the abundant beggars on the street who are not shy. There is a lot of beauty in the Dhaka area; it’s just quite a distance away.
