Space Hotel and Apartments

This is a great alternative to a traditional hotel if you are staying in Dhaka for more than a short time. Serviced apartments are a relatively new concept in Dhaka and Space Apartments does a very good job. We were here two months and really liked it. The staff are outstanding! From the guards out front to the reception to the restaurant to housekeeping to maintenance, everyone goes out of their way to be friendly and helpful. The breakfast offerings are plentiful and delicious, a mix of western and eastern food. The masala omelet is perfect each time. The lunch/dinner menu is not huge but is very tasty and carefully prepared. Room service is available. The dining room is private, only for guests; a nice feature. Space Apartments is surprisingly quiet, with very little of the traffic noise and honking you hear 24/7 in most places in the city, and even on residential streets a block or two away. It's a five minute walk to Gulshan Lake Park, ten minutes to the American Club or Australian High Commission or Justice Shahabuddin Park. There are good restaurants and coffee shops and places to get groceries within walking distance or a short ride away. Lots of rickshaws in the area and Uber worked fine. Dhaka air quality is abominable. Ask for an air purifier for your room if you are concerned. Also, mosquitoes have become a year-round phenomenon in Dhaka, and a few get into the rooms. The housekeeping staff are careful not to leave doors open, and will use bug spray if you want. By the end of our two months at Space Apartments the staff felt like family. We will happily stay here again.
