Guest Reviews
- Nigel (9/5): - Maybe dinner wasn't so good but breakfast was good
- Taj (10/5): Excellent - Highest standard of accommodation and friendly host!
- Sifat (10/5): Superb - Super clean, super friendly owner and staff members. A little out of the hustle and bustle of the city (which I wanted). Easy to get transport from the hotel itself! Really can’t think of anything
- Haque (10/5): We were pleasantly surprised by this place. The room was spacios and spotless. The hearty breakfast was freshly prepared - Well built structure and beautiful gardens.
- Shimon (9/5): Beautiful place with exceptional garden views. - Remote location which was great to block out the city noise and enjoy the great view of the front and rear gardens.
Well presented rooms and facilities. Staff were very friendly and could not have done more for us.
The interior was exceptional too! N/A
- Predrag (9/5): Enjoyable stay in a grand design house nested in a secluded location with a beautiful garden. - The food was a highlight, offering authentic local cuisine. N/A
- kamrul (10/5): -
- Dmitry (10/5): - Exceptional place set in a very quiet location. The amenities are modern. The staff are very kind.
- akib (10/5): -
- Novera (10/5): -
- Yeasir (9/5): -
- Toha (7/5): Without this particular issue of their staff , it was worth every penny of staying there. Because the place is extremely - The property was very clean , all the facilities were exceptionally good. The rooms , interior and security were pretty good too. First of all, we only took the breakfast from the Ark. It was really bad. The head staff/chef was the main issue. When we arrived at the place, he asked our opinion of what kind of breakfast we were looking for. They had two options. I said, 'One desi and one English breakfast.' He said no to that. He said I can choose one only for us. I said, 'Fine.' Then the first day they give us the English one. And on the second day we were supposed to get the desi one. But then he forgot the desi menu. and he said it was our fault for not giving him a reminder. Not only that. We were taking different spoons for our breakfast items; he was interrupting us and indirectly disrespecting us for that. Even the sausages were not cooked properly on the second day. While entering in the hall, there was heavy rain outside. So we were soaked. He was asking why my shoe is this muddy.Either he could have given me a different pair of shoes to get in or could have cleaned the floors later. Mentioning it was utterly disrespectful. The Ark is an amazing place to stay, but the guy needs to know how to treat his customers properly.
Another problem was the location of the property was in a place where it’s really tough to find any vehicles. And in the first day there was no electricity in the morning for very long hours. And for that we couldn’t charge our phone before going out.
- Rakib (10/5): -
- G M Emran (9/5): We had a wonderful stay at The Ark - Distinctive architectural design with beautifully landscaped courtyard.Well-manicured garden and lush green lawns nestled on the hillside with a staircase built uphill for sightseeing. Rooms were spacious and spotless with modern amenities.Well equipped pantry.Amazing staff.Just to keep in mind that it's a bit on the countryside. Access road (approx 1 km in length) has numerous potholes,although it's not in the owners hand.Food seemed moderately expensive.Breakfast menu could be improved.
- Md (9/5): Superb -
- Rejwan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Akhlakul (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kamran (10/5): Impressive Hotel - My recent stay at the Ark was truly exceptional! I appreciate a hotel that prioritises both comfort and convenience, and the Ark delivered on both fronts. The rooms were impeccably clean, spacious, and equipped with all the necessary amenities, including a high-speed internet connection and a comfortable workspace. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, always going above and beyond to ensure my needs were met. Furthermore, the hotel's location was perfect. Overall, my experience at the Ark was a resounding success, and I highly recommend it to any traveler looking for a comfortable and convenient stay
- Gustavo (9/5): Great and comfortable room in a lovely house. - Great room ( well above the average basic room in the city) with great staff. Good breakfast and dining menu The location is very random. However, very calm hood.
- Kath (10/5): Exceptional - This is an amazing place, a quiet calm retreat. Beautiful rooms and garden. The most helpful staff and owner, amazing food. Reallyb handy to have a driver when needed. All very fairly priced. This really is an oasis, much nicer than a 5 star hotel. Bedrooms large and comfortable. We loved it so much we came here twice in our two weeks in Bangladesh.
- Fahmida (10/5): Tropical paradise providing exceptional hospitality and comfort. - Everything was absolutely lovely.
Clean, modern and spacious. Built to high spec.
Stunning gardens surrounding the property.
Well maintained. Fantastic hospitality, shout out to Mr Ali Hussein, wonderful chef and Shajib and Sultana. The road linking the property to the main road needs tarmac and resurfacing.
Signs need to be in place from the main road to direct visitors as Google may not necessarily work.
- Richard (8/5): A good option for a quiet stay away from chaotic downtown Sylhet. - Comfortable modern house/hotel, quiet at night, firm bed, friendly and helpful staff. Almost no English spoken by most of the staff…breakfast was extremely simple…a little far out from the town centre
- Monzo (2/5): Very poor -
- Kai (10/5): Overall pleasant experience. - Customized breakfast, quiet and nice views, simple but aesthetic decorations, friendly staff. Tap water seemed to be muddy.
- Abdul (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent All
- Lt. (8/5): Very good -
- Muhammed (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sham (10/5): I would definitely comeback! - It was an invitation to someone’s private house. The monetary interests of the host was not that prioritized. It was a home away home. The included breakfast was good indeed. Moreover, the private butler knows how cook and serve at the same time. I couldn’t use my Uber service often. However. Private car service was available!
- Umor (10/5): Exceptional -
- Shuhel (8/5): Very good -
- Hossain (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent service, exceeded our expectations. Beautiful cooperation from landowner as well from staffs.
My family had an amazing stay.
Interior equiped with luxury and elegant features. Im coming again for sure.
Lots of prayers and wished for THE ARK. its not just a home, its an ART.
- Mr. (5/5): Passable -
- Fazal (8/5): Very good - Nice house with all amenities that makes life comfortable Water clogging in the shower
- Tohfa (10/5): I usually don’t leave reviews when everything goes as expected, but the exceptional behavior of the staff, especially th - Hospitality, ambience, exceptionally friendly staff!
- Ashfaqur (10/5): Exceptional - I am glad that I chose this place. Majestic house, welcoming host, exceptionally supportive staffs, my 5 year old daughter literally cried when we told her that we had to leave. Anyone visiting sylhet, forget 5 stars or any other facilities, this is where you want to be. We travel a lot within the country and this is definitely the best I have experienced Not a single thing.
- Jan (10/5): Amazing place - By far 10/10.
Great staff
Great food (on demand)
Beatiful garden.
Helpful manager (eventhough he was in England these days)
Walkable distance to airport, bit further but still walkable distance to Malnichera tea factory Only one weakness, but thats not fault of The Ark:
After several steps out of the property, you see you are still Bangladesh, having trash all around, sometimes burning as well
- Md. (10/5): Worth of money. Excellent. - Cozy and peaceful surroundings. Host is very generous. Well decorated and gives you a luxurious vibe. Food was mouthwatering and homemade. You can discover yourself within the serene nature.
- Piyal (10/5): Exceptional -
- Fatima (9/5): A gem nestled away into peaceful grounds away from the hustle and bustle of Sylhet - Amazing property with beautiful architecture, something quite different to what you see in Sylhet. The landscaping is lovely, a resident chef and host, who are very welcoming and ensure the stay goes well.
There a few pets one grounds, such as rabbits in peaceful surroundings. Close to Sylhet airport for a convenient stop off either into the town or out of it.
- Tariqul (8/5): Very good - Conduct of staffs are very hospitable. Place was very serene. Food is very tasty but overpriced.
- Chowdhury (9/5): Most clean, value for money stay in Sylhet. You will not regret staying here. n, - The host ensured all measures for the comfort of the guest. Location food service and hygiene was impeccable. It's a hidden gem for those wishing a great and exclusive stay in Sylhet. Very near to airport and could arrange pick up with the host. The menu could include a bit of variety for expat guests.
- Mohammed (10/5): Heavenly place to hide out and get away from city's hustle and bustle - My stay was exceptional as I got a good deal. I have thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and stunning views of scenic beauty. I really loved the front and back garden of the place that is breath taking! The art of the place added a unique touch. The room was beyond comfortable. The staff were incredibly welcoming. The food was delicious and served in a professional way. It is exceptionally clean and I also would mention about the safety measures which is great as I felt secure during my stay. I would highly recommend this place to others.
- Syed (10/5): An amazing experience while staying at "THE ARK" in Sylhet - Just a short drive from Sylhet airport, I was fascinated seeing the lush green landscape and the unique architectural design of "THE ARK". The interior was overwhelming too. I was truly impressed after viewing the beautiful foyer, two lounge areas and the dining located in the ground floor, all very tastefully and meticulously done. My room in the first floor was very spacious with a large toilet, comfortable bed, perfect air conditioning and a flat screen tv which made my stay most comfortable and enjoyable. The host and his entire team were amazing always ready to cater to all my needs. The home cooked food was delicious. I strongly recommend this place and can boldly say this place is an oasis of luxury in Sylhet.
