The hotel which was previously under Sheraton banner needs to keep up with the requirements of today’s visitor. The real-estate is fine, food is great, but some serious business needs are missing. There was no wifi in the room, which a business traveller takes as ‘given’ in even 3 star hotels of today. Wire-based internet connection is provided at a... More

I stayed here for a one day meeting. I found the rooms completely functional and adequate, although they were very worn--and as one reviewer stated, there was the smell of smoke in the room although I requested a non-smoking room. The smell seemed to permeate the hotel. Notwithstanding the smokey smell and the worn look, the room was clean and... More

This felt like a business hotel and comfortable enough. There was an odor of cigarette smoke in the room - maybe they do non-smoking rooms. The pool looked lovely but there was no way I was going in - I was a lone female and there were about 20 men in business suits sat in armchairs around an empty pool!... More

right in the middle of Dhaka, this is a very famous landmark in the region. The Hotel apparently is going to soon be renowated, but it has the old style of lobby, shops, cafes and restaurants, poolside oreintal one and simply everything about this hotel is charming in a way. The rooms were big with some very nice housekeeping staff... More

I knew this hotel when it started life an Intercontinental, back in the 70s. Back then, it was the only decent hotel in Dhaka. With expansion under Sheraton's management, and now as a government owned hotel (the dreaded Parjatan Corporation), the hotel awaits a new management contract - with Interncontinental. If this is going to happen, then many millions must... More

Spent several days whilst attending an event held at this venue (same time as BPL finals - so hotel near capacity as most team players located at the hotel). Had a room on the no smoking floor, but still smelly (a bit damp/musty). Rooms okay - but quite dated. Wired internet access in the rooms, WIFI only available in the... More

The hotel is located at the central place of Dhaka city. The very big shopping mall like Bashundhara City is within walking distance from the hotel. The hotel looks very clean fresh inside and out. It has very comfy rooms too. To me, it is the best hotel to enjoy and stay in Bangladesh.

The old Sheraton and I was told the soon to be new Intercontinental (subject to final contract and an upgrade!) the Ruposhi Bangla is past its best but nevertheless still a reasonably comfortable place to stay. The rooms are adequate but the bathrooms could do with ripping out and starting again (shower curtains – yuk!). I had to change rooms... More

I have stayed at this hotel at least twice a year for the past 5 years and for the second time since the hotel was re-named after having been the Dhaka Sheraton. The staff are always welcoming, polite and wish to tender to one's every need. For that alone I would give the hotel the 5 stars, but although the... More
