Located very close to the gulshan circle 2. Excellent service. Internet service was really impressive, good food. The only nuisance was the construction going on beside the hotel. You can also enjoy a stroll around the lake in the morning. Good value for money. Recommended for anyone and everyone on a budget. Don't waste your money staring at stars.

During our three-week stay in Bangladesh we stayed at this hotel three times and with each stay I appreciated it more. Each room we stayed in was very well appointed and meticulously clean. The water was hot and the sheets were beautifully clean and soft. Restaurant service is excellent and the food is delicious. We had to check out once... More

We stayed here as part of a tour so I can't comment on the price but we found the Lake Castle to be a nice place to stay. While the decor in the room was looking a little tired, it was still comfortable and fairly roomy. And, most importantly, the bathroom was clean! On arrival we also received a platter... More

Let's make it clear : this is a very basic (backpackers) hotel - not a castle, and anywhay there is no lake to be seen. The surroundings are not particularly pleasant either. Got upgraded upon arrival which meant that I had an ironing board in my room. The rooms are dark and this will not improve once the construction next... More

Some other reviews on this site are a bit tough, though I recognise some of the descriptions! As a consultant I stayed here for many weeks in the first half of 2012 and found it more than adequate. I have now returned and again found that the staff were friendly and seemed to give a genuine welcome to me as... More

I have stayed here on several occasions over several years. The public garden (with the lake) was there 10 years ago, but more recently has been reduced to a muddy pond while "beautification" takes place. It has been undergoing this process for years (it may actually be finished now!). Anyway the setting is not a reason for staying here. Some... More

I've stayed here before but not again. Too many black marks against this hotel now. For example, 1) The hotel car did not wait for me at the airport as arranged and I had to get a smelly decripit "limosne" actually an ancient van to get to the hote - cost Tk1000 2) worse, there is 24 conruction with crews...

This hotel has lots of competition in the city and will not impress anyone looking for the chain hotel type feel and experience; however, its location and staff really help to make this place shine. It is located fairly close to the airport; so the formidable traffic jams don't take a toll. The staff are very helpful; you just have... More

I've stayed at this property repeatedly since 2006, and it's a favourite with many travellers seeking to avoid the often outrageous room rates at chain hotels. The rooms are reasonable in size and clean; bathrooms are okay (but not overly modern). Everything works, including the WiFi system. The food in the restaurant is excellent and quite international. The only downside... More
