In the heart of Karwan Bazaar - an area renowned for its bustling marketplace with the towering corporate offices at the periphery - lays a particular enterprise which tends to go largely unnoticed on many accounts.

In such a lucrative location, the owners of this venture do not even have to worry about land rents making it profitable and to an extent, reasonable for its customers. Built primarily on the foundation of good will, Hotel Saladia as it is known for its roof made from a coarse cloth material called salas, caters to the very basic, fundamental needs of people, all at the expense of less than Tk 10.
