2 Star Hotel
Hotel Ornet
Hotel Grand Palace International
The small and tidy rooms would be a good bet but for the bedlam of noise echoing up from the road below, which is certain to make sleep an impossible dream.
Green Goose Guesthouse
Super-sized rooms with bizarre, but kind of cool, wood panelling over the walls. The little kitchenettes make this a good one for long-stay guests. Rates are, as normal, highly flexible.
Eastern House
It might look like a private residence but it is in fact a hotel, and a pretty good one at that. The comfortable front rooms have balconies and road noise, while in the back rooms you say goodbye to the balcony, but gain the peace.
Hotel Pacific
The Hotel Pacific continues to rule the roost as the best value cheapie in Central Dhaka. There is a wide range of room types, and all are spacious and homely with hot water in the bathrooms.
Hotel Midway International
The rooms, which have big wooden wardrobes, dressing tables and tiled bathrooms, must once have been the star of the show, but today the first signs of tropical rot are setting in.
Hotel Razmoni Isha Kha
A vast auditorium-like reception leads onward to some of the better midrange rooms in this part of town. The highlights are the big puffy, bubble chairs and the massive views over the city.
Hotel Orchard Plaza
The cheapest of the big boys, the Orchard Plaza is all neon lights and equally flashy rooms – this business class hotel has large rooms kept very clean and staff who keep smiling.
The Chalet
Offering some of Gulshan’s cheapest and best value rooms, the Chalet may lack some of the gloss of the more expensive hotels, but its immaculate rooms really do have everything you actually need.
Hotel Victory
Stated rates are little more than make-believe and as soon as you enter you’ll be offered a 50% discount. Even if you were paying top dollar these rooms would be good value, but with the price you’ll end up paying it’s a certified bargain.
Hotel Ramna
Don’t get too excited by the glass-fronted reception area; the rooms are much more down-to-earth. However, they are kept clean and what you get for the price is excellent. It can be a little difficult to find in the maze of tailor shops.
White House Hotel
This place has small but lovingly maintained rooms that are cleaner than most places of a similar price. Be warned though that the management aren’t keen on unmarried couples.
Hotel Sugandha
It’s cheap and it’s one of the very few that will let you stay, but hygiene isn’t a strong point, and female guests aren’t welcome. The double rooms are quite large and have balconies overlooking a grey wall.
Hotel Golden Deer
Not only is dirty old Dhaka home to the ever so rare Golden Goose but, hiding down a leafy lane, is the equally scarce Golden Deer.
Lake Shore Hotel & Apartments
Everything about this hotel, from the modern glass bathroom fittings to the rooftop pool fit for a New York millionaire, is simply magnificent. If you fit in this price category then you fit in this hotel.
Hotel Royal Palace
A palace fit for royalty it ain’t, but for the rest of us the clean and tidy rooms ferreted away in this hotel offer everything likely to be required.
Asia Hotel
One of the few hotels on Topkhana Rd that accepts foreigners, the Asia Hotel is on a quiet side street and has spacious rooms that offer good value for your Taka. Bring a torch (flashlight) though, as the electricity supply isn’t too hot.
Hotel Cairo International
Small and shabby rooms, but this is one of the rare cheapies happy to have you to stay and, quite frankly, at this price you can’t knock it. It has a more reliable electricity supply than the nearby Asia Hotel.
Hotel Al Razzaque International
The al-Razzaque offers great value budget beds in rooms that are kept lovingly clean. For once the sheets aren’t disturbingly stained and it has sit-down toilets.
Sheraton Hotel
The facilities might be similar to the Pan Pacific and prices much the same (after the near-standard 50% discount at the Pan Pacific) but, with its ’70s architecture and musty smelling rooms, the Sheraton is definitely the poorer cousin.
