Service was absolutely amazing. Staff were extremely helpful and really were the highlight of my stay. My room was clean and comfortable and would be made up promptly whenever I asked for it. Food was also very good. The only issue was the wifi connection wasn’t very good; sometimes it would stop working and I’d be left without wifi randomly, but it was mostly ok.

We arrived early for our scheduled check-in time. Robin Edwards, the general manager, has given everyone instructions to take note of my two-day stay at the hotel. After receiving a welcome drink upon my arrival, the General Manager presented me with a unique gift. My check-in was finished in a matter of minutes. After I got in the room, a representative from three different hotels came to ask if I needed anything or if I wasn't satisfied with the space, there was another one available for me. Because of the excellent customer service and concern that made my day memorable, I felt a little ashamed now. Overall exceptional cervices

The hotel service attitude is very good. The room I stayed in on the first night was a bit cold, and the service staff and cleaning staff took the initiative to help find an empty room to change. There are many types of breakfast, the taste and standard are good, and there are a lot of fruits. I will choose it again next time I go on a business trip.

The room was clean, no damp smell, the air conditioning was adjustable on and off. The staff is very caring. Breakfast is good. The noise and beeping from the street is almost inaudible, the glass unit is good, this is important for Dhaka, because... it's an incredibly noisy city. From the airport it costs 300 taka by taxi, the ride is about 15-20 minutes. A good place to escape the heat and noise of the city. There is a small pool on the roof overlooking the city.

The hotel is located on a secluded roadside in Gushan District, half an hour's drive from the airport. It has ten floors. It's not big, but it's clean and quiet. The staff are very enthusiastic and everyone serves with a smile. There is a restaurant on the 8th floor, which provides local meals and the taste is acceptable. The 9th floor is a gym and a small infinity swimming pool.

The room is dirty, the quilt is a bit colored. Fortunately, I brought a pillowcase, it is recommended to use a disposable quilt cover. 600 nights for two people is actually quite expensive, there is breakfast, the meal is actually good, all curry chicken, fruit salad, chicken sausage, milk, orange juice, etc. The coffee shop in the lobby downstairs is also very cheap, a cup of lemon tea 10 yuan rmb, two people drank 4 cups of tea, a mousse cake 🍰 only 62 yuan. The bathroom is OK, dry and wet separation, it is very economical here, will not change your toothbrush, toilet paper, you have to call yourself

This hotel is very good, the price is not high, the breakfast is very good, the location is also very good, and it is very quiet at night. I booked a hotel in Uttara and I couldn't sleep at night, so I moved here temporarily. It's great. Yes, the only bad thing is that my room has no window.

The interior of the hotel is quite good, the room facilities are of high quality, the hygiene is good, the breakfast is rich, and the staff are very warm and decent. I didn’t ask for a ride at the hotel, so I used Uber, which was cheaper than asking for a ride at the hotel. The traffic in Dhaka is very congested, so be sure to allow extra time to catch your flight.

Location is near airport, dhaka is not a ‘ walkable’ city so you need to get a ride or take a package tour to be able to het around and visit places of interest, hotel was clean and rooms were a good size, came with toiletries, daily housekeeping, staff were super friendly, helpful and hospitable!!! Breakfast was wonderful, loved the rooftop bar, I booked this hotel because of the rooftop infinity pool but unfortunately it was under renovations when we were there, overall would love to stay here again when in Dhaka
