Royal Raj Hotel

Excellent hotel to stay in Rajshahi. Recently my family took a trip to Rajshahi and stayed in Royal Raj. We had a great experience of our stay in this hotel. Clean and well equipped hotel in a fantastic location. Hotel services were excellent. Breakfast was great. All the staffs were very cordial and friendly. I will definitely stay in this hotel in our future visits to Rajshaji.

overall The rooms do not have safety boxes. The front desk does not have a security system. Though it is a safe area, robberies must occur and tourists (being obviously well-off compared to locals) are a natural target. The hotel bought me a safety box but just left it on the coffee table. It was under ten pounds and not bolted down. Just useless. The staff have master keys. The room cleaners leave the keys on the service cars unattended. I showed the pictures to the management. The staff is super nice, maybe too nice. All my criticisms are directed at the management. Staff requires better training. Maybe management should spend a few nights at rivals hotels to better understand the level of services available. The breakfast can kindly be described as week. There were about ten items each morning with minimal variety. Eight of the ten items were carbohydrate intensive. The other two where saucy/fried meats. Normally hot foods were served a room temperature. Minimum fruit/vegetables/healthy/fiber. The orange juice was more as a sugary orange colored drink. No brewed coffee, only some powdered instant. I used the hotel car to tour some of the local sights. Sometimes it was expensive in a disrespectful way. Example is a taxi from the airport to the hotel was 1,000, The hotel requested 2,500 for the return transfer. They refused to help arrange an outside taxi. Hotel area is lively and fun. Sometimes staff was so nice as to guide walk to local restaurants.

A good option in Rajshahi A nice, centrally located hotel with a very helpful staff.

This was one of the best hotels we stayed in during our 3 week tour of Bangladesh. Our room was large, very clean and comfortable. There s also a fridge and kettle which we appreciate very much. The bathroom was also up to a very high standard. We had an excellent and very reasonable evening meal in the hotel restaurant and a good breakfast. I would certainly choose to stay there again.

A professionally managed, very good hotel, with comfortable rooms, very helpful staff. For instance, they organized for me a car with driver to visit Puthia and Natore, and drop me off finally at a hotel in Bogra, the next place of my itinerary. Since the driver did not speak English, the very well English-speaking receptionist came in in the morning to explain everything to the driver in the morning and also call the next hotel in Bogra to tell them of my next plans for transport. Most people in Bangladesh speak only Bangla, which makes travel a bit difficult. The travel went perfectly, although the price was a bit high- Also the laundry worked out perfectly. I had everything back after 2-3 hours! The location is in a very busy central area of Rajshahi, but rooms are quiet and there is a nice rooftop cafe where you can relax. And the shore of the river (hidden behind an island) can be reached by foot in 10-15 minutes
