I was there with my mom, husband, and nephew. They have a few good services such as a buffet breakfast, bar, haircut service, etc. There is a flip side and we had multiple bad experiences there-- they stole cash from my mom's room and then came up with a made-up story that somebody from our room threw a wallet (that's my mom's wallet). It fell on their employee's head who happened to be walking in the street at that very right time. He found the wallet and returned it to our room, of course, the money was gone by the time they handed it over to us. The truth is we were out of town for a day-long trip on that day and nobody could open their window as it is permanently closed. So, obviously, it was their staff who had access to our room. Nobody higher up came to investigate the incident or to apologize to us, reimbursement for the loss is a far dream there. They also stole my branded sunglass.…
A Saucy bar in town I found this bar in its hotel web page. Visited with my colleague. A very smart bar with great hospitality. World class alcohol is available. Not that much crowdy. Price is higher than I found on its page. Sound is noisy. Overall, considered as a enjoyable place.
I recently completed a two-week visit to Bangladesh and stayed at three different hotels. I will not only review them in detail but give an overview of my experience of budget hotels in Bangladesh as a tourist. Most of my thoughts, comments, and opinions on all three of these properties are the same so there will be some copying and pasting in these reviews. Tourists wishing to arrive in Bangladesh and receive a visa on arrival (VOA) are advised to have hotel bookings and Proof of Onward Travel (POOT). I made both hard and digital copies of all my bookings and they were checked at both the airline check-in counter and immigration in Dhaka. However, no one was interested in more than a few days of hotel bookings and I only presented hotel reservations for the first four nights. This is important for those of us who are plan-as-you-go travelers and don’t like to make bookings ahead of time. In the future, I will only book the first few nights and see how that goes. I ended up canceling several reservations (bookings) I made through Agoda because I changed my plans, and now, I have no doubt you can get a better price by simply walking in. On with the review of Hotel 71: This hotel was recommended by a friend, is close to the Old City, and makes an excellent base to explore the city. It is considered by many to be the best hotel in the city for foreigners. Perhaps because they have a bar/lounge. This is a typical Asian city-center budget hotel: it is very dated, and grotty, and could use some serious remodeling, maintenance, and paint. Having said that, the room and bathroom were clean enough, and the air-conditioning and hot water worked reasonably well. Unfortunately, there were cockroaches in both the room and bathroom. A complimentary breakfast was included in the price. The wi-fi was so-so. I had several loads of laundry done here. It was very reasonably priced and was completed in one day. I give the housekeeping staff five out of five dots. I canceled my booking through Agoda and paid a walk-in rate of 4000 BDT ($39 USD). The front desk staff claimed that the less expensive rooms were all fully booked. The room was large and comfortable so I was reasonably happy to pay this rate. I would probably stay here again as there don't appear to be any better choices.…
Super experience You can't imagine if you nit visit Gentleman,s Rest Bar@ Hotel 71Ltd Dhaka. Excellent drinks collection.Very nice environment, cocktails were awesome. Enjoyed some folk songs. In a word passed a joyful night with my friend. Sound is bit hurh.!!?wish to visit again.
A cosmopolitan bar. Awesome service. Bar staffs are very generous. Live musical program me is nice but sound system is not that much audience supportive. Enjoyed cocktails and delicious foods. Price is bit higher. Thanks all the Gentleman's Rest team for accompanying us.
I stayed in the Royal Suit for one night, it cost me around 5,000 in bdt. The staff behaved with warmth and respect; from reception staff to restaurant staff. They seemed well-mannered. Secondly, the room (Royal Suite) served a great value for money with it’s huge, cozy, and clean space. At night we ordered dinner service from their restaurant. Although the price was high, the foods were really tasty. The whole stay was safe, sound, and comfortable, without any disturbance. Couples can book a room in this hotel with an assurance. (The price of alcohol at the bar was disappointingly high, at least for me)
Well managed hotel . Stuffs are amazing. Front desk are very courteous. Well trained. Though I would like share my experience . Food: I wish there were variety everyday. I stayed there almost a month and I was bored with same food everyday. But quality of food was excellent. I wish there is something for kids . May be a floor for kids playground or fun place. We live in a world that everyone loves coffee. A Kureg or nespresso coffee brewer would bring this hotel to a different level. Coffee in the restaurent I just couldn't take it. Wifi speed should be more fast since this hotel is located in a business hub. Front desk manager Mr. Masud was amazing! Very helpful and knowledgeable. Hotel 71 had extended their service to me by offering a shuttle service at midnight. The driver was a great person.. So far I loved hotel 71 . I will give 5 star for the stuff and services. Hotel security system was very professional. So far I enjoyed my 1 month stay and never felt like I was in a hotel. I will recommend my friends and family to stay there for sure. My next trip I will stay there too. …
I missed my flight to Dhaka which meant I couldn't make it for check-in but the customer service team understood this and handled it very well. This gave me peace of mind and stopped me from worrying.
Great bar with great experiences!! Lovely environment. Amazing drinks and food. I came visit along with my colleges. I believe Gentleman's Rest is the best place for relaxation. Need to develop sound system.Recomenderd drinks lover.Thanks Gentleman's Rest team.
