Bangladesh has more hotel options than most travellers realise. The real challenge is not finding a place to stay. It is finding the right place for how you actually travel. A business visitor landing in Dhaka has entirely different priorities from a family heading to Cox's Bazar for the weekend. Someone exploring Sylhet's tea gardens is not looking for the same thing as a traveller setting off for the Sundarbans.

This guide cuts through the noise. Every hotel on this list sits comfortably in the mid-range bracket, meaning you can expect clean rooms, reliable air conditioning, free WiFi, and proper service without paying five-star rates. For Bangladesh, mid-range generally means somewhere between BDT 3,000 and BDT 11,000 per night, though prices shift considerably between peak season (November to February) and the quieter months.

Whether you are planning a Dhaka city break, a Cox's Bazar beach holiday, a Sylhet tea garden escape, or a journey through Chittagong and Khulna, there is a solid mid-range hotel waiting for you. Here is the full breakdown.

1. Hotel 71, Dhaka (Best for First-Time Visitors and City Explorers)

If you are visiting Dhaka for the first time and want a clean, well-located hotel that does not ask you to overpay, Hotel 71 is one of the most consistent choices in the city. Located in Bijoy Nagar at the heart of Dhaka, it sits within a 10-minute walk of Baitul Mukarram Mosque, St. Mary's Cathedral, and Ramna Park.

The hotel has 56 rooms across six categories, with room rates starting from BDT 2,860 per night for a Premier Single (VAT and service charge inclusive, as listed on the official hotel website). Seven industry awards and a No. 1 value-for-money ranking on a major travel review platform tell you that the reputation has been earned, not just marketed. Facilities include two 24-hour restaurants, a rooftop terrace, gym, spa, beauty salon, and bar. The free same-day cancellation policy is a welcome bonus.

A word of honest advice: request an upper-floor room and read the most recent reviews before booking, as room quality can vary across the property.

Starting price: from BDT 2,860 per night

2. FARS Hotel & Resorts, Dhaka (Best for Mid-Range Comfort Seekers)

Sometimes you want more than a clean room. You want a rooftop pool, a proper buffet breakfast, a gym you will actually use, and staff that treat you like a guest rather than a booking number. FARS Hotel & Resorts in Dhaka's Bijoy Nagar area delivers all of that at a price that stays firmly in the mid-range.

The hotel has 114 rooms and 18 suites, all decorated in a contemporary style with free WiFi, mini-bars, electric kettles, and flat-screen TVs. The rooftop outdoor pool is a genuine highlight, especially after a long day in the city. There are two on-site restaurants and a bar, with the buffet frequently praised by guests for variety and quality. FARS is also 500 metres from Bangladesh Secretariat and close to Lalbagh Fort, making it a good base for both work and sightseeing.

Starting price: approximately BDT 5,500 per night

3. Holiday Inn Dhaka City Centre by IHG (Best for Business Travellers)

Business travel to Dhaka is often high-pressure and schedule-driven. What you need is a hotel that simply works, every time, without surprises. Holiday Inn Dhaka City Centre by IHG has a guest satisfaction score of 9.1 out of 10 (Excellent), which puts it among the highest-rated hotels in its price band in Dhaka. That kind of score does not come from good marketing alone.

The hotel brings IHG brand consistency to the Bangladeshi capital: an outdoor pool, a well-equipped fitness centre, an on-site restaurant, reliable high-speed WiFi, and the kind of check-in process that does not waste your time. IHG One Rewards members also earn points on every eligible stay, which adds long-term value for frequent visitors to Bangladesh. At approximately BDT 8,300 to BDT 10,500 per night, it sits at the upper end of the mid-range bracket, but the service reliability justifies it for corporate trips.

Starting price: approximately BDT 8,300 per night

4. Long Beach Hotel, Cox's Bazar (Best for Dedicated Beach Lovers)

If you are heading from Dhaka to Cox's Bazar and your primary goal is the beach, Long Beach Hotel is one of the most reliable choices in the hotel motel zone. Ranked consistently in the top three hotels out of over 55 properties in Cox's Bazar on a major travel review platform, it has maintained that position for several years, which says more than a single glowing review ever could.

The hotel sits on Kalatoli Road, a 2-minute walk from Sugandha Beach. All 104 rooms have private balconies, Egyptian cotton sheets, rainfall showerheads, and mini-bars. Four swimming pools, two of which are specifically for children, make it a practical choice for families as well. The Cozy Restaurant and the Sunset Pool Side BBQ add to a well-rounded stay. Free airport shuttle and free WiFi are included in the room rate.

One thing to note honestly: the rooms do not have direct sea views, as the hotel sits slightly set back from the shoreline. If an ocean-facing room matters to you, factor that into your decision.

Starting price: from BDT 4,500 per night

5. Best Western Heritage, Cox's Bazar (Best for Family Trips)

Travelling with family means the details matter more. The breakfast needs to work for everyone. The pool needs to be safe. The rooms need to be big enough. Best Western Heritage in Cox's Bazar understands this without needing to be told.

The hotel's 231 spacious rooms come with 42-inch LED TVs, mini-bars, tea and coffee-making facilities, and complimentary high-speed WiFi. A complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM at the 200-cover Inani Restaurant, with a generous spread of local and international options. The rooftop pool offers a 360-degree panoramic view of the sea and town, which is genuinely one of the best vantage points in Cox's Bazar. Children under five stay free; children aged 5 to 10 pay BDT 650 for breakfast. The airport pickup is BDT 950 per way, and extra beds including breakfast are BDT 1,500 per person.

Starting price: from BDT 4,370 per night

6. Prime Park Hotel, Cox's Bazar (Best for Budget-Smart Beach Travellers)

Not every Cox's Bazar trip is built around the hotel. Sometimes the beach is the point, the seafood is the point, and the sunsets are the point. Prime Park Hotel exists for exactly that kind of trip.

Starting from BDT 3,200 per night, it is one of the most affordable mid-range hotels in the hotel motel zone with a consistent standard of cleanliness and service. The hotel has a restaurant, 24-hour front desk, room service, free WiFi, and a business centre. It is well-located within reach of Sugandha and Kolatoli beaches, the Burmese Market, and a wide range of seafood restaurants. If you are working with a modest budget and plan to spend most of your time outdoors anyway, Prime Park is the sensible choice.

Starting price: from BDT 3,200 per night

7. Hotel Noorjahan Grand, Sylhet (Best for Sylhet City Explorers)

Hotel Noorjahan Grand, Sylhet

Sylhet is one of Bangladesh's most atmospheric destinations, and Hotel Noorjahan Grand is one of the best-positioned mid-range hotels from which to explore it. Located in Dargah Gate, a 4-minute walk from the Shrine of Hazrat Shah Jalal, it puts you right at the centre of Sylhet's cultural and spiritual heart.

The hotel has 50 rooms, all with mini-bars, refrigerators, air conditioning, and free WiFi. Facilities include a rooftop swimming pool, pool bar, spa, fitness centre, garden, terrace, and a restaurant serving halal and international cuisine. Buffet breakfast is available from 7:00 AM daily. Room rates start from approximately BDT 1,540 per night, which makes it one of the most affordable 4-star hotels in Bangladesh with a full pool and spa combination. The hotel is also a well-reviewed base for day trips to Jaflong, Ratargul Swamp Forest, and the surrounding tea gardens.

Starting price: from approximately BDT 1,540 per night

8. Jatra Flagship Khulna City Centre (Best for Sundarbans Gateway Travellers)

Most people who stay in Khulna are not there for Khulna. They are there for the Sundarbans, the world's largest mangrove forest and one of Bangladesh's most extraordinary natural experiences. Jatra Flagship Khulna City Centre understands that role perfectly.

Rated 8.7 out of 10 by recent guests, the hotel offers 4-star comfort in a quiet side street, a 5-minute walk from Sonadanga Bus Station. Rooms have modern furnishings, private balconies with city views, free WiFi, air conditioning, and daily housekeeping. Continental and Asian breakfast options are available. One guest put it well: "100% better than one of the big so-called 5-star hotels that was twice the price in the city." If you are spending a night or two in Khulna before or after a Sundarbans trip, this is the right place to base yourself.

Starting price: approximately BDT 3,600 per night

9. Jatra Flagship Chattogram City Centre (Best for Chittagong Explorers)

Chittagong does not always receive the credit it deserves as a travel destination. Bangladesh's port city has Patenga Beach, Foy's Lake, the Ethnological Museum, and serves as the starting point for trips into Bandarban and Rangamati. It rewards the traveller who actually stops.

Jatra Flagship Chattogram City Centre, located in the Nasirabad area of South Khulshi, is a clean, modern 4-star hotel with consistently praised service. Rooms come with balconies, city views, free WiFi, electric kettles, fridges, and microwave facilities. Continental, Asian, and full English breakfast options are available. Guests repeatedly highlight the staff's warmth and professionalism in reviews. The hotel is approximately 9.3 miles from Shah Amanat International Airport, with airport transfers available on request.

Starting price: approximately BDT 3,500 per night

10. Jatra Flagship Sylhet City Centre (Best for Modern Comfort Seekers in Sylhet)

If Hotel Noorjahan Grand is Sylhet's established name with its rooftop pool and cultural address, Jatra Flagship Sylhet City Centre is the newer, sharper alternative for travellers who prefer a contemporary hotel feel. Part of the same well-regarded chain as the Khulna and Chattogram properties, it brings consistent 4-star standards to Sylhet city.

Rooms are modern and well-equipped, with balcony views, free WiFi, and the same reliable service the Jatra Flagship brand is known for across its network. Breakfast options include continental, Asian, and full English styles. Multiple travel review platforms list it among Sylhet's top-rated properties, which is a strong signal for a hotel that does not shout about itself. It suits travellers on a comfortable mid-range budget who want the assurance of a well-run chain without the price of a five-star property.

Starting price: approximately BDT 3,500 per night

How to Choose the Right Hotel in Bangladesh for Your Trip

Finding a good hotel is easy in Bangladesh. Finding the right hotel for your specific trip takes a little more thought. Here are three things worth considering before you book.

Start with Your Destination, Not Your Budget

A BDT 4,500 per night hotel in Cox's Bazar looks entirely different from a BDT 4,500 per night hotel in Dhaka. The experience, the surroundings, and the value you get are not the same at all. Settle your destination first, then work out what your money gets you there.

Book Early If You Are Travelling in Peak Season

Bangladesh's peak travel season runs from November to February. During this window, hotel prices can be 30 to 50 per cent higher than the base rates listed in this guide, and popular properties fill up quickly. If your schedule allows some flexibility, June, August, and early December tend to offer noticeably better rates with fewer crowds at destinations like Cox's Bazar and Sylhet.

Always Read Recent Reviews

Hotel quality in Bangladesh can shift. A review from 18 months ago may not reflect the experience you will have today. Before confirming any booking, look for feedback from the past three to six months. That is where you will get the most accurate picture of current service, cleanliness, and value.
