Best Hotels in Dhaka for Every Budget — 49 Real Picks From £11 (2026)

Our top Dhaka hotel pick for 2026 is Hotel Sarina — a well-reviewed 5★ in the Banani business quarter from around £69 a night — but the real story of Dhaka is the price list itself: this is one of the cheapest capital cities a UK traveller can book, with real, bookable hotels from around £11 a night. We've built this guide across all three price bands: 10 luxury 5★ hotels, 10 mid-range hotels, and 29 budget hotels we verified as real, distinct, currently bookable properties — 49 hotels in all, each linking straight to its live prices. Dhaka is vast, teeming and gloriously chaotic; we're honest about that here, and about the fact that even its top hotels cost a fraction of what you'd pay in Europe.

Dhaka is the vast, teeming capital of Bangladesh, spread along the Buriganga River and one of the most densely populated and vibrant cities on earth. The tourist geography splits cleanly in two. In the north — Gulshan, Banani, Baridhara and the Airport Road corridor — you'll find the diplomatic-and-business quarter: leafier avenues, embassies, malls, the international-standard hotels and the city's licensed restaurants and cafes. This is where most visitors sleep. In the south lies Old Dhaka (Puran Dhaka) — the historic, frenetic heart: the pink Ahsan Manzil palace on the river, the Mughal Lalbagh Fort, the ornate Star Mosque, the boat-choked Sadarghat river port, and rickshaw-filled bazaar lanes that assault every sense. Add Louis Kahn's monumental National Parliament building in the centre, and you have a city that is intense, chaotic and endlessly alive. Beautiful Bangladesh, the official tourism board, is a good place to start planning. Compare live Dhaka hotel prices or search UK flights to Dhaka (DAC) — Biman Bangladesh flies direct from London, with one-stop options via the Gulf or Istanbul. UK citizens need a visa (arrange an e-visa or visa in advance), and FCDO advice varies by region of Bangladesh, so check the current official guidance for your itinerary.

The Scout's Take: Gulshan, Old Dhaka or the Airport Corridor?

Gulshan, Banani and Baridhara (the north) are the answer for almost every first-time visitor — the diplomatic-and-business quarter, with the international hotels, the best restaurants and cafes, the licensed bars, the malls, and the calmest, most secure streets in the city. Most of this guide's luxury and mid-range tiers sit here, and even the budget tier has a few Baridhara picks (Hotel West Valley, Nascent Gardenia, Ascott). Base here and day-trip to the sights.

Old Dhaka (Puran Dhaka) is the historic heart — Ahsan Manzil, Lalbagh Fort, the Star Mosque, Sadarghat and the bazaar lanes — and it is extraordinary, but it is also dense, loud and hard work to sleep in. Visit by day; sleep in the north.

The Airport Road corridor (Dhaka Regency, Sky City, Le Meridien) suits arrival and departure nights, or travellers connecting onward to Cox's Bazar, Sylhet or Chittagong — close to DAC and spared the long, traffic-clogged run south.

For first-timers and business: Gulshan/Banani. For the deepest budget stock: the central districts and Old Dhaka. For flight connections: the airport corridor. Compare live Dhaka hotel prices or search flights to DAC to lock in dates first.

Dhaka Hotels FAQs

How much does a hotel in Dhaka cost in 2026? Less than almost any other capital city a UK traveller books. Real, bookable budget hotels in this guide start from around £11 a night (Hotel As Shams International), with most of the budget tier in the £22-46 range. Mid-range 4★ hotels run roughly £40-100, and the 5★ tier spans about £67 to £233 a night. These are from-prices pulled on live searches while writing — your dates will differ, so tap any hotel for today's rate.

What is the cheapest area to stay in Dhaka? Old Dhaka and the central commercial districts (Motijheel, Paltan, Farmgate) hold the deepest sub-£30 stock. Gulshan, Banani and Baridhara — the leafy diplomatic quarter in the north — are pricier and calmer, but even there you can find rooms from the £30s. Bangladesh is exceptionally cheap for UK visitors across the board.

What is the most expensive hotel in this Dhaka guide? Le Meridien Dhaka, from around £233 a night on our live data — a modern 5★ near the airport and the highest from-price in this guide. The rest of the luxury tier is far cheaper: several genuine 5★ hotels, including Dhaka Regency and Hotel Sarina, start from around £67 a night.

Do I need a visa to visit Bangladesh as a UK passport holder? Yes. UK citizens need a visa for Bangladesh — arrange an e-visa or a visa through the Bangladesh High Commission in advance of travel. Check the current requirements and processing times before you book flights, and keep your hotel booking confirmation handy, as it is sometimes requested.

Are there direct flights from the UK to Dhaka? Yes. Biman Bangladesh Airlines flies direct from London to Dhaka (DAC), and there are frequent one-stop options via the Gulf hubs (Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad) or Istanbul (Turkish Airlines). Chittagong (CGP), Cox's Bazar (CXB) and Sylhet (ZYL) are reached by a short domestic connection from Dhaka.

Is Dhaka safe for tourists? Dhaka is a huge, intense and very crowded city, and most visits are trouble-free with normal big-city caution. UK FCDO advice varies by region of Bangladesh — some areas, such as the Chittagong Hill Tracts, carry permit and travel restrictions — so check the current UK government advice for Bangladesh for your specific itinerary before travelling.

Which area is best for first-time visitors to Dhaka? Gulshan, Banani and Baridhara — the northern diplomatic-and-business quarter — are the easiest base: calmer streets, most of the international-standard hotels, restaurants and cafes, and better security. You then day-trip south into Old Dhaka for the historic sights.

Is alcohol available in Dhaka hotels? Bangladesh is a Muslim-majority country and is largely dry — alcohol is restricted and served only in some licensed hotels and bars, mostly the international 5★ properties in Gulshan and Banani. Do not expect a bar or minibar at budget and most mid-range hotels.

What currency is used in Bangladesh? The Bangladeshi taka (BDT, symbol ৳). We quote from-prices in pounds for clarity, but you'll pay and spend in taka on the ground. Cards are accepted at the bigger hotels and malls; carry cash for rickshaws, street food, markets and small hotels.

When is the best time to visit Dhaka? The cool, dry season from November to February is by far the most comfortable window. March to May is hot and humid, and the June-to-September monsoon brings heavy rain and flooding risk. Aim for Nov-Feb if you can, and book a little ahead as it is also peak season.

How do I get from Dhaka airport to the city hotels? Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (DAC) sits in the north, close to the Gulshan, Banani, Uttara and Airport Road hotel clusters — a short (if traffic-dependent) transfer. Old Dhaka is much further south and can take well over an hour in heavy traffic. Prearrange an airport pickup with your hotel or use a ride-hailing app.

What are the best budget hotels in Dhaka? The cheapest verified bed is Hotel As Shams International from around £11. For more comfort with strong review counts, Hotel 71 (from ~£31, over 1,400 reviews) and White Palace Hotel (from ~£32) are dependable central picks, and Civic Inn (from ~£29) is a well-reviewed 3★.

Is Gulshan or Old Dhaka better for tourists? Gulshan (with Banani and Baridhara) is better as a base — safer, calmer, with the international hotels and restaurants. Old Dhaka is better as a destination — Ahsan Manzil, Lalbagh Fort, the Star Mosque and Sadarghat are all there — but it is dense, loud and hard work to stay in. Most visitors sleep in Gulshan and explore Old Dhaka by day.

How many days do I need in Dhaka? Two to three days covers the essentials — a day in Old Dhaka, a day for the National Parliament and Liberation War Museum, and time for the food. Many travellers use Dhaka as the gateway for onward trips to Cox's Bazar, Sylhet's tea gardens or the Sundarbans.

What should I wear in Dhaka? Dress modestly. Bangladesh is a conservative Muslim-majority country, so cover shoulders and knees, and women may find a headscarf handy for mosques and shrines. Lightweight, breathable clothing suits the climate.

Is English widely spoken in Dhaka? Bengali (Bangla) is the national language, but English is widely used in business, hotels and tourism, and signage in the modern districts is often bilingual. You'll have little trouble at the international and mid-range hotels.

What food should I try in Dhaka? Dhaka is superb value for food. Try kacchi biryani (the city's signature slow-cooked mutton-and-rice dish), hilsa (ilish) fish, various biryanis, and finish with mishti — Bengali sweets. Wash it down with cha, the sweet milky roadside tea. Old Dhaka's Chawk Bazar is the classic food trail.

Which Dhaka hotels are best for business travellers? The Gulshan and Banani 5★ cluster — Crowne Plaza Dhaka Gulshan, Renaissance Dhaka Gulshan, InterContinental Dhaka, Pan Pacific Sonargaon and Amari Dhaka — all sit in or near the diplomatic-and-commercial core with business facilities and licensed dining. Best Western Plus Maple Leaf is a solid mid-range option for the same districts.

Are hotel prices in Dhaka really this low? Yes — Bangladesh is genuinely one of the cheapest destinations a UK traveller can visit, and the taka's value against the pound makes even 5★ hotels affordable by European standards. The from-prices are estimates that vary by date and demand, so always tap through for the live rate on your exact nights.

Is breakfast included at Dhaka hotels? Most mid-range and luxury hotels include breakfast, often a mix of Bengali, South Asian and continental dishes. At the cheapest budget properties it is inconsistent. Always check the room rate's inclusions on the hotel's live page before comparing two similarly priced options.

Which Dhaka hotels have the best reviews? In the budget tier, Hotel 71 stands out with over 1,400 reviews, followed by White Palace Hotel, HOTEL THE CAPITAL LTD. and D'more Dhaka. In the higher tiers, Hotel Sarina, Crowne Plaza Dhaka Gulshan and Best Western Plus Maple Leaf all carry several hundred reviews.

Can I use ride-hailing apps in Dhaka? Yes — ride-hailing apps operate widely for cars and motorbikes, and they are generally the easiest and most transparent way to get around versus negotiating on the street. Traffic is notoriously heavy, so build in generous time for any cross-city journey.

Is Dhaka a good base for exploring the rest of Bangladesh? Yes — Dhaka is the national transport hub. From DAC you can take short domestic flights to Cox's Bazar (CXB), Sylhet (ZYL) and Chittagong (CGP). Rail and long-distance coaches also fan out from the capital. See our companion Bangladesh guides linked above.

Do Dhaka hotels have air conditioning and reliable power? The mid-range and luxury hotels have air conditioning and generator backup, which matters where power cuts can occur. At the very cheapest budget properties, AC and backup power are less certain — check the amenities on the hotel's live page if these are non-negotiable.

What is there to see in Dhaka? The headline sights are the pink Ahsan Manzil (the Pink Palace) on the Buriganga River, the 17th-century Mughal Lalbagh Fort, the ornate Star Mosque, the boat-packed Sadarghat river port, Old Dhaka's rickshaw-filled bazaar lanes, and Louis Kahn's monumental National Parliament building. The Liberation War Museum tells the story of 1971.

How do I book these exact Dhaka hotels at the prices shown? Every hotel name in this guide links to that hotel's live page on JetMeAway — real-time rates, taxes shown, and a date picker to match your trip. The from-prices quoted here were pulled on live searches while writing, so your dates will differ; tap through for today's number. No booking fees either way.
