Accommodation
Posted on 29. Dec, 2009 by Mikey Leung in 2. Practical Information
Despite some recent improvements in the quality of accommodation across Bangladesh, travellers should maintain subdued expectations when it comes to finding fine beds, especially outside the main commercial cities. Luxury accommodation is still something of a novelty here, although the big hotel chains and some excellent guesthouses have set up shop in Dhaka. A boom in domestic tourism means that over the lifespan of this guidebook there will hopefully be some better options coming available in other locations, as rumours of new resorts and accommodation flutter around like flies at a streetside snack stall. But for the time being, standards remain low. Such is the reality of a country whose citizens have yet to afford travel for pleasure and become demanding consumers of travel.
