Blossom Hotel Dhaka

Here’s a polished, professional, and firm review you can submit to Expedia: ⸻ I would like to report a very concerning and disappointing experience during my recent hotel stay booked through Expedia. At the time of checkout, the receptionist, Babul, attempted to charge me additional money, claiming that the hotel’s rate was higher than what I had already paid through Expedia. However, my booking was fully prepaid via credit card, and I had a valid invoice confirming this. Despite showing the documentation, he continued to argue and insisted on collecting the difference. This situation escalated unnecessarily and delayed me for approximately 45 minutes to an hour. At one point, I was even prevented from leaving the hotel, which was extremely stressful as I had a flight to catch. Only after I firmly stated that I would contact the police did the situation change, and eventually, a supervisor intervened and allowed me to leave without any additional payment. I have stayed at this same hotel before without any issues, which made this experience even more surprising and disappointing. As a legal professional, I was able to stand my ground, but I am deeply concerned that other guests may be pressured or misled into paying unjustified charges. I respectfully request that Expedia look into this matter seriously and take appropriate action to ensure that customers are protected from such practices in the future. Overall, this experience was both frustrating and unprofessional,

It was a nice stay. They could do a little more to achieve better for the facilities they have. Restricting guest eating inside the room is not acceptable. Hotels like Inter Continental accepts it but you don’t actually put you at back foot !

Recommend

Wonderful budget hotel. A great find with friendly staff and great location. Thank you Blossom and thanks to previous posters for recommending. If in Dhaka again, I will definitely stay here.

I highly recommend the Blossom Hotel. This hotel is a gem in the sprawl of Dhakka. While first looks of the neighborhood might make you think twice, it's really a wonderful place to stay. It became my "home" in Dhaka for 5 nights. All the staff are absolutely lovely. Friendly and as helpful as can be. The hotel is 3 star, so it's not luxury, high-end, but it you are looking for a clean place to stay, at resonable rates, with near-by shopping, eating, transportation, and somewhat close to DAC airport, the Blossom hotel is worthy of consideration. Especially if you are on a budget. Please take note. There is no fancy shopping, chic dining, and comfortable transportation. Shopping is the nearby main street lined with 100s of shops and stalls selling all kinds of things. Mostly clothes. The nearby restaurants are eat-in but more like fast food. Not much variety and no English menus. The wait staff are always friendly. There is one bakery/pastry shop with decent coffee on the main street. I really enjoyed staying at the Blossom hotel, not only because it is a wonderful place for value, staff, and cleanliness but also because the location, I found out, was a very good. I play stay at the Blossom every time I go to Dhaka.

It is ok to stay for a night

I recently booked for my wife who stayed at this hotel and had a wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout her visit, always ready with a smile. The room was spotless, comfortable, and well maintained, with all the amenities. The location was convenient, making it easy to get around and explore the area.

Room is very clean. Hotel staff excellent, they are very polite and friendly. Breakfast very good. Air conditioning very good. Foreign embassy near walking distance.police station near by. Hotel has twenty four hour security. I was visiting Dhaka, I stayed there seven nights.very good location. I suggest this hotel

Breakfast is okay. The options are not wide. Staffs are friendly and helpful. The restaurants menu is good but bit pricey.
