This charmingly disorganised place has small rooms with deep-green walls, some of which face the river. Run by a friendly man who speaks some English, it…
Must-see hotels in Bangladesh
Chittagong
On busy Station Rd, the Hotel Mishka has a pretty dusty appearance that continues into the interior. Rooms have a slight old-world feel, possibly because…
Dhaka
The Chalet may lack some of the gloss of Dhaka's more expensive hotels, but its rooms really have everything you actually need, including some…
Chittagong
A decent choice in the GEC area, Abakash has small, clean, well-looked-after rooms with TV and attached bathroom (sit-down toilets). However, be warned…
Bangladesh
The YMCA has pretty basic rooms, with pokey squat-toilet bathrooms, but they overlook a huge garden, which houses the even more basic dorms. Not be…
Dhaka
Rooms here are a bit tatty round the edges, but bed sheets, floors and bathrooms are all kept clean. It's handy for access to Puran Dhaka without being in…
Rajshahi & Rangpur
This was comfortably the cleanest and best-value place in town at the time of research. Expect a bit of wear and tear by the time you get here, but it…
Hotel Baitus Samir International
Dhaka
Brightly lit, clean rooms with pokey bathrooms (some with squat toilets) represent decent value for Dhaka's minimum-budget travellers. Rooms are on upper…
Bangladesh
Located above Dhansiri Restaurant and run by the same proprietor, this highway motel of sorts has six huge (but overpriced) air-con rooms that can…
Bangladesh
There is some accommodation in Benapole – the Parjatan Hotel has large, clean suites that for some reason have two bathrooms and two bedrooms. Basic…
Bangladesh
Old-school hotel with huge, well-furnished rooms. Slightly run down, and far from spotless, but the space makes up for the tattiness. No hot-water showers…
Rangamati
Rooms here are a bit of a mixed bag – the fan-only rooms are well-priced but very small, while the air-conditioned ones are very large and have balconies…
Cox's Bazar
Set back from the main drag, and a fair walk from the beach, this is one of the cheapest of the proper hotels in Kolatoli. Rooms are average but clean,…
Dhaka
Average hotel with bright, spacious rooms and communal balconies overlooking the busy streets below. It’s clean for the price, but still pretty basic. No…
St Martin's Island
A handful of clean, hotel-standard rooms lining either side of a small garden. Lacks character, but is right on West Beach. Walk through Abakash Parjatan…
Rajshahi & Rangpur
Small, basic but tidy singles and doubles with desk, TV, fan and squat-loo bathroom. The manager speaks English.
Bangladesh
This hotel is pretty basic, with squat toilets only, but is a cheap option in Teknaf centre.
Bangladesh Tea Research Institute Guesthouse
Srimangal & Around
The plantation-centric location is fabulous, but the facilities at this state-run guesthouse have clearly seen better days and are a bit of a letdown…
Bangladesh
This cheapie is a good choice only if you're on a budget and don't mind a relatively bland and boxy lodging experience. The rooms are clean but lack soul,…
Sylhet
Located in a busy central neighbourhood, this budget hotel has plain and unsophisticated rooms that are okayish for a couple of nights' sleep. The sheets…
Cox's Bazar
Down a lane beside Laldighi Lake, Panowa is a choice for those more concerned with budget than comfort. It’s as basic as the prices suggest, and the…
Bangladesh
If you get stuck in Burimari, the very basic Shekhar Plaza, a green two-storey hotel on your left as you walk from the border, is the best you’ll get. No…
Bangladesh
Very basic accommodation on Maheskhali Island, somewhat less than no-frills with spartan rooms and small attached tap-and-bucket bathrooms. No English…
