3-star hotels in Bandarban
A shortlist of the 3-star hotels in Bandarban, from hilltop resorts on Chimbuk Road to town-centre addresses a short ride from Meghla. It is for travellers weighing views against convenience when they pick a base for the hills.
Staying in Bandarban
Bandarban is a hill district town in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, with the Sangu River running through it and viewpoints such as Nilachal, Chimbuk Hill and Nilgiri Hill within reach. The Buddha Dhatu Jadi, the Golden Temple, is among its Buddhist sites, and Meghla is a popular spot near town with a lake and amusement park. Visits to some areas may require permits because of the regional security situation.
The hotels here sit at two ends of that geography. Nilambori Resort on Nilachal Road, Fanush Resort at Nilachal Tiger Para, Hotel Night Heaven and Hill Crown Hotel & Resort at Meghla, and Hill Palace Resort on Bandarban Highway are all within 2.1 km of the centre, suited to short breaks and to travellers who want to walk out to restaurants and transport. Bono Nibash Hill Resort on Chimbuk Road, 15.3 km out, trades that convenience for quiet at Chimbuk Hill. Couples and families dominate the reviews of Fanush Resort, Hotel Night Heaven and Bono Nibash Hill Resort, which all offer family rooms or the highest guest scores in the group.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Bandarban is about 75 kilometers from Chittagong (Chattogram) and can be reached by road. Buses and private cars are common, and the journey takes a few hours depending on traffic and road conditions. From Dhaka, it is a longer drive or a combination of bus and train to Chittagong, then road to Bandarban. Within the town, auto-rickshaws and local transport are available, but for exploring remote hills and waterfalls, hiring a vehicle with a driver is recommended. Several hotels here, including Fanush Resort, Nilambori Resort and Six View Hill Resort Bandarban, offer a shuttle service.
When to go
The best time to visit Bandarban is during the dry season, from November to March, when the weather is cooler and rainfall is minimal. Winter offers clear skies and comfortable temperatures for sightseeing, which suits the hilltop addresses at Nilachal and Chimbuk Hill. The monsoon months from May to September bring heavy rain, which can cause landslides and make travel difficult.
