Independent - accommodation in Dhaka

I highly recommend the Blossom Hotel. This hotel is a gem in the sprawl of Dhakka. While first looks of the neighborhood might make you think twice, it's really a wonderful place to stay. It became my "home" in Dhaka for 5 nights. All the staff are absolutely lovely. Friendly and as helpful as can be. The hotel is 3 star, so it's not luxury, high-end, but it you are looking for a clean place to stay, at resonable rates, with near-by shopping, eating, transportation, and somewhat close to DAC airport, the Blossom hotel is worthy of consideration. Especially if you are on a budget. Please take note. There is no fancy shopping, chic dining, and comfortable transportation. Shopping is the nearby main street lined with 100s of shops and stalls selling all kinds of things. Mostly clothes. The nearby restaurants are eat-in but more like fast food. Not much variety and no English menus. The wait staff are always friendly. There is one bakery/pastry shop with decent coffee on the main street. I really enjoyed staying at the Blossom hotel, not only because it is a wonderful place for value, staff, and cleanliness but also because the location, I found out, was a very good. I play stay at the Blossom every time I go to Dhaka.

Very good service and view from room. I felt at home.

Clean room, good and helful staff, in room food service
