Dhaka
A large old-school hotel facing the enormous Baitul Mukarram Mosque. The singles are a little cramped, but in terms of the price tag it's good enough…
Must-see hotels in Bangladesh
Dhaka
Small but spotlessly clean rooms are good value in this straight-laced budget hotel. The restaurant on the ground floor is very popular, and there’s a…
Bangladesh
The Mustafiz International does a good job of offering reliable midrange business-style accommodation to the Mymensingh scene. It has a conference room…
St Martin's Island
Probably the best place to stay on the island, even though it has looked to Cox’s Bazar for architectural inspiration. It has rooms that gleam, a…
Rangamati
Rooms are clean and well looked after here, with sit-down toilets but cold-water showers, and the location in the busiest part of town is handy for food,…
Dhaka
A vast auditorium-like reception leads onward to some of the better midrange rooms in this part of town. The highlights are the massive views over the…
Cox's Bazar
One of Cox’s Bazar’s original hotels, Nitol opened in 1997 and is a welcoming option. Some of the cheaper rooms are looking a little tired these days, but…
Chittagong
A good option, the large rooms here have heat-repelling tiled floors and crispy clean bed sheets. The manager is chatty and it’s not far from the stadium,…
Cox's Bazar
Of Cox's Bazar's many mega hotels, this is one of the more charming (and smaller). The immaculate rooms make you feel too dirty to be in them. The staff…
Cox's Bazar
Closer to Laldighi than the beach, but better value because of it, Silver Shine has very clean, spacious rooms, a good restaurant and a rooftop pool …
Dhaka
Very smart, well-run hotel with exceptionally friendly staff. Rooms are large, comfortable and frequently come with psychedelically bright fabrics…
Dhaka
A slightly knocked-about-the-corners hotel, but down a relatively quiet lane off the main street. There are clean and spacious rooms, wi-fi and a…
Rangamati
This new and fresh-looking hotel, with a distinctive green-glass front, is excellent value. While the rooms are spacious and clean, a few at the back…
Chittagong
Very smart and well run, this is probably the best hotel on Station Rd. Rooms are slick and clean, though it's worth noting that the singles don't have…
Dhaka
This is a small, informal hotel close to the centre of Dhaka. It's a reliable option rather than a fabulously exciting one, but it's clean, comfortable…
Bangladesh
Lots of shiny tiled floors and wood-panelled walls make this a neat and welcoming place to stay. The clean rooms come with wi-fi and satellite TV. The…
St Martin's Island
Eight cottages dotted around a well-tended, tree-shaded garden, right beside West Beach. Food is available. Walk through Abakash Parjatan to West Beach,…
Chittagong
A good choice among the large number of budget offerings on Station Rd, Sylhet Super has cool-blue tiling and small but clean-enough rooms. Staff members…
Dhaka
If you need to base yourself in Dhanmodi, you could do a lot worse than laying your head at this midrange business hotel. It's efficient rather than plush…
Chittagong Hill Tracts
Very clean tiled rooms with TV and attached bathroom (squat loo) run by friendly staff members who, unlike staff at some other hotels in town, are happy…
Dhaka
Reliably clean and inviting rooms with a quiet and cool atmosphere. Rates include in-room wi-fi, airport pick-up and breakfast. Book ahead to try to nab…
Dhaka
This slightly ageing five star hotel was closed when we visited as it was undergoing a complete renovation. Due to reopen in 2016 trading under the…
Chittagong Hill Tracts
Simple and clean – if a little small – rooms are available here in this hotel on the main street.
Srimangal & Around
Tucked away among tea gardens bordering Srimangal, this lacklustre resort could – with a little bit of thoughtful refurbishing – easily become one of the…
Bangladesh
Don't be put off by its boxy, drab blue exterior. Shabby as it is, this is really among the better budget options in town. Overlooking the lotus-flower…
Bangladesh
Located on the main drag, this unremarkable government-run place has decent rooms, although for a few hundred more, you will find better rooms even in its…
Bangladesh
The reception here is clearly more impressive than the rooms, which (despite being new) have the odd wall stain and a whiff of staleness. The cheaper fan…
Sylhet
Located on the western fringes of Bandar Bazar, this friendly hotel is of great value and offers clean rooms with tiled floors and hot-water showers in…
Bangladesh
A newish place on the top floors of a commercial building, Habib has a busy location but boasts fantastic river views from the common balconies. Rooms are…
Rajshahi & Rangpur
Three kilometres out of town, this is one of the few hotels in Dinajpur that was willing to accept foreign guests as of late 2015. The overall staying…
Bangladesh
This friendly hotel, above a motorbike showroom, has compact but tidy rooms with white-tiled flooring and clean bathrooms with sit-down loos. However,…
Dhaka
Shiny-tiled corridors lead to basic but spacious rooms with TV, attached bathroom and lots of natural light (a luxury you don’t always get in budget digs…
Bangladesh
A basic but acceptable budget option, Nirala has rooms that are small but clean enough and that come with their own small attached bathrooms (squat loo…
Rajshahi & Rangpur
Locals will tell you that this is the top address in the city centre, but the rooms just don't match up to the hype. It’s a friendly place, though, and…
Bangladesh
Overpriced and shabby, this hotel on top of a shopping complex and a bank has rooms that you should only consider if other places in town have filled up …
Bangladesh
Close to the ferry, this ramshackle Parjatan-run hotel is the normal lacklustre government offering. However it’s the best option near to both Teknaf and…
St Martin's Island
The first hotel you’ll see immediately as you step onto the island, Hotel Prashad Paradise has clean rooms, some with balcony. This is a good example of…
Rajshahi & Rangpur
More popular for its restaurant downstairs, this budget place is located smack in the heart of the action. Rooms are small but clean (a few cheapies have…
Rangamati
A very basic option for those on a tight budget. All rooms have attached bathroom with cold-water shower and squat toilet. Check a few first though, as…
Hotel Al-Razzaque International
Dhaka
A good-value budget option that puts you as close to the Old Dhaka action as you can get. Al-Razzaque has small but tidy rooms with very clean bathrooms…
