I stayed on and off at Saroj Deep during December 2011 and found Mr Banerjee, the owner, to be a good man - interesting to talk to and helpful. I was particularly grateful when he agreed to look after my luggage on my last day even though I was then staying at another guesthouse! My room was right at the top, and although I have to say the bathroom needs a little improvement, the room was clean and light, and I enjoyed having a balcony and it was very peaceful. I enjoyed the breakfasts and the breakfast room, and the guesthouse is in a nice, quiet area but with the enjoyable buzz of Gariahat on the doorstep, plus a good coffee bar nearby and an HSBC bank. Well located, friendly, very safe, and very accommodating. A good recommendation as it is family-run and Mr Banerjee has been in business a long time. I will return.
