VISA ON ARRIVAL / HOTEL IN DHAKA

Hotels in Dhaka:
IN New Dhaka specially Banani & Gulshan Area Viator Guest house, Salon Guest Hose, Hotel Far Inn, Banani Guest House (Budge Hotel New Arrival), Hotel Chalet in Gulshan, Subrina's Home etc, all hotels are good and professional in service.

VOA is very easy. Just show your passport, pay the fees (USD 51) and you will be stamped for 4 weeks.

Reg Hotel, you will find some hotels within 2400 in Banani and Gulshan area. I am giving a link of some hotels. Please check and contact : http://www.trip2bangladesh.com/hotel-recommendation/

Visa on arrival: there were countless threads but they may have gone with the recent thorntree problems!

Essentially, turn up, pay $51, done!

Remember to get BDT70 change for your extra one dollar. The actual cost is USD50 + BDT7.

Thanks a lot for your kind replys!
I'm greatful for all the names of hotels but have problems to book a room b'cos for most of them I don't find an email address. Would appreciate any contacts of those hotels.

In which part of Dhaka do you want to stay?

Hi tranceybowler
I would prefer to stay near old part of town, b'cos we would like to make a riksha tour around it and I think that would be from Gulshan or Banani a bit too far.

I agree, it's better to stay in that area unless you have business in Gulshan / Banani.

Unfortunately most hotels in Old Dhaka won't have an email address and even if they do they won't check it. The exception is Hotel Pacific but most people say it's overpriced (i haven't stayed there myself though).

If I were you I wouldn't worry about booking a hotel, just turn up and they will almost certainly have a room! I stayed in Hotel New York off Topkhana Road but I wouldn't really recommend it. Perhaps Mahmud can suggest somewhere in your price range.

tranceybowler is right. There are so many hotels in Old Dhaka but problem is that they dont take advance booking. I am sure that u will get rooms. I can recommend some hotel in that area :

• Hotel Ramna, Gulistan.
• Hotel Preetom, Paltan.
• Hotel New York, Tokhana.
• Hotel Deluxe, Topkhana Rd (Only Taka 600 for double room)

So, dont worry for hotels in Dhaka.
