This hotel rates itself a 4* and charges prices accordingly. That is quite inaccurate. It is a three star and at best an 'Indianized' 4 star. What that means is that Indians might accept this as a 4 star but by international standards it is not. Like all other hotels of this category and above in Dhaka, the rate here is way too high for an impoverished country like Bangladesh and a condemned city like Dhaka. AS you enter, the lobby is very unimpressive and quite dark almost as if the owners are trying to save on electricity. Electricity is a problem any way since it breaks down frequently leaving the elevators unusable. I was upgraded to an Executive room which was quite spacious and a nice bathroom with a shower stall which is my preference. However, it was facing the side into the balcony of the adjoining building and also it was not possible to keep the drapes open. Hence it was dark all day long. The breakfast was disgusting. All of the hot items were dinner items, most likely leftovers from the dinner buffet the night before and consisted of an array of killed / dead animals in various forms. Bangladesh is a land of butchers and carnivores who thrive on devouring killed / dead animals all day long. The energy in the restaurant was just disgusting. Fresh fruits were tasteless and there was no fresh juice. The only saving grace was the good home made bread and fresh dosas. The only place to eat in Dhaka is Jatra Biroti and fortunately it is walking distance from the Hotel. The spa was pathetic too. It consists of just two treatment rooms with no waiting area, or steam / sauna. I had a 120 min massage which ended 15 mins early. That may hav ebeen good becaus ethe therapist was clueless about any massage techniques. Plus she was using Johnsons Baby Oil for the aromatherapy massage. It was terrible. The area around the HOtel is relatively upscale and pleasant compared to the rest of Dhaka. But remember you are in a Muslim country and you will be bombarde with prayer calls all day and night from the neighborhood mosques. However, I would not stay here again.

Good place to stay is midst of commercial Banani. The rooms and sleep quality is good with excellent service. Gym is well equipped although one of the tread mill was not working. Many showrooms and good restaurant around this hotel. In house restaurant has a elaborate menu. The taste is average but the food prices are exorbitant.

The staff make the place wonderful and plesant the rooms are undisputeable superb and price is very reasonble. Whenever im in dhaka for work.. it is my home away frm home there no 2 ways bout it.. once again thank guys to make my visit everytime recharged and superb
