Hotel Shuktara Dhaka

Staff was extremely helpful, polite and friendly. As a foreigner and a first-time visitor to Dhaka, I really appreciated I could turn to them anytime and they always helped me. Complimentary breakfast was also really good; there was always plenty of options to choose from, even for s vegetarian such as myself. The location is also great. There is a subway station just across the street which takes you to many places in Dhaka, and there were always a lot of rickshaws or CNGs to take if you needed to go somewhere more specific. Moreover, the facilities were clean and the housekeeping staff always did a great job and made sure I have everything. I also appreciated the staff was wiling to speak English with me; as a non-Bangla speaker it was a huge help.

Nothing I can think of. The rooms on the road side are maybe a bit noisy because of the traffic but that doesn’t have to do much with the hotel itself.

As a solo traveler, I had a great stay here. The hotel is very clean, the breakfast is tasty, and the value for money is excellent. You’re right in the middle of local Dhaka – step outside and you’re immediately surrounded by a busy local market. The reception staff deserve a special mention: incredibly friendly and helpful. When I couldn’t find a rickshaw driver willing to take me to Old Dhaka, one of the receptionists personally came outside with me, found a driver and negotiated the ride on my behalf because of the language barrier. Just keep in mind that Dhaka traffic makes getting to the main sights quite time-consuming. Solo travelers mainly looking to meet some other of the very few international travelers may prefer Banani or Gulshan. But for experiencing local life, great service and excellent value for money, I can definitely recommend this hotel.

I have stayed at this hotel at least four times and have never been disappointed. Staff is helpful. The rooms are clean and the sheets and towels clean. Breakfast included is good. For me the location is perfect as it is close to where my friends live. This may not be the case for everyone

Location and staff behaviour are very good

Room has damp patch , mini refrigerator cooling not good , guest not allowed in room even in day time
