Helping fund a local NGO-run women’s training centre, this welcoming guesthouse on the peaceful outskirts of town is easily the nicest and best-value place to stay in Jessore. Apart from two air-con units with attached bathroom, the dorm-like rooms are simple, fan-cooled and share bathrooms. Scrumptious canteen-style meals (breakfast/lunch/dinner Tk 60/140/160) made from garden-fresh produce are served upon prior notice.
Some rooms here have two beds, some four, but they all cost the same, are kept spotlessly clean and overlook a flower- and vegetable-filled courtyard with a fishpond. To get here, hop in a CNG and say ‘Arabpur’ (the name of this part of town) or ‘Airport Rd’. Once you’re close, start asking for ‘Banchte Shekha’ (pronounced bach-teh shay-kah). A ride from the town centre costs around Tk 30.
