My stay at the hotel was simply wonderful. The rooms were not only clean and comfortable but also offered a lovely view of the park. The staff was incredibly friendly and always ready to assist. However, the location, while attractive and safe, had some issues with taxi services. The dining options were varied but leaned towards Bangladeshi cuisine.

Staying at Hotel Lake Castle was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms were well-appointed and located conveniently across from the park, which I appreciated for freshening up before meetings. The complimentary items in the room were a nice touch. While the service at Reception was always courteous and friendly, there were some slight inconveniences with taxi commotion due to the guards' regulations. The dining options, though limited in variety, were enjoyable, especially the Bangladeshi cuisine. The hotel's modern renovations and practical amenities in the diplomatic area of Gulshan added to the stay's comfort and convenience.
