For most travelers, Osmani International Airport (ZYL) is the practical choice: it sits within the city and provides the quickest access. While it handles domestic and some international routes, Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (DAC) in the nearby city of Dhaka serves as the primary international gateway, requiring a train or bus journey to reach Sylhet. The remaining airports, Lokpriya Gopinath Bardoloi International Airport (GAU), Lengpui Airport (AJL), and Shillong Airport (SHL), are located in different cities across India and are not in Sylhet at all. Using these Indian airports involves significant travel time, potential visa requirements, and complex cross-border logistics. They only make sense if you are already touring those specific regions or if direct flight availability is unavailable elsewhere. For convenience and speed, always prioritize a flight directly into Sylhet if possible. If arriving in Dhaka, the intercity train offers the best balance of price and comfort compared to bus travel. Always ensure you have appropriate travel documentation if crossing international borders via any of the non-domestic hubs.

It’s a nice nifty hotel. Pretty well kept and a decent location, quiet area, while being in the heart of the town.
Overall a really solid selection. However, really couldn’t differentiate between between a “honeymoon” suit vs regular in terms of how rooms are setup or special amenities being offered.FromUS$21

Overall a good experience but one thing to keep in mind their rooms aren’t soundproof. As a result a lot of horn noises come insede the room alltime, in daytime it’s ok but at night it’s really annoying. The stuffs are really friendly and caring. Safety is also really good side here. I would recommend them to make their room soundproof for a 5 out of 5 experience!FromUS$11
