Hotel New Sagar Priya: New Accommodation in Digha

We reached at 10.00PM in this hotel from Kolkata after drive of nearly 4 hrs. Last time we had stayed at Sagar Priya, this is their branch hotel just next to Sagar Priya, with better amenities and rooms. Service is also better! They offer discounts on weekdays and charge card rate on weekends and festival time. Bookings can be done directly from Kolkata.

Besides this there are at least 100 more new hotels have come up in New Digha alone for middle class people of Kolkata city, who are the major contributor of Digha's economy. There are also a few star hotels have come up with international class facility. But I did not have the time to check up.
All hotels are within the range of Rs.1000 - Rs.3000/- ( US$ 20-60). You can even go there without prior booking shall sure to get a room in an average class hotel within your reach. However, this condition is not applicable during Christmas holidays!

Digha Tourist Lodge: Surprisingly Non Govt Feeling

It was a good stay.

But the people assisting us in the reception seemed very casual about the whole concept of a guest coming and staying. Maybe because they had no role to play as its governed by Govt.
But surprisingly it was clean and had AC/Non AC well maintained rooms.
They are creating more AC rooms in the ground floor. The dining hall is seperate. they do not serve lunch or dinner at rooms. We had to have them in their dining hall.
Only bed tea and sometimes on request breakfast could be had.

It far from the maddening crowd although within walking distance from the sea. Good points on security and generator facility. Good Food.
AC rooms cost Rs 900/ 1400 based on other additions like geyser, TV, Ground floor

Unique Quality: Clean, Secure and generator backup facility
Good Food and within 2 min from the sea yet far from the crowd.

a hotel with no name: Please book your hotel well in advance on spl days

It was 15th Aug,08 and we didn't book our hotel in advance , so had to stay in a hotel just beside New Digha beach(near bus terminal). It was a horrible hotel. Two small room we taken for two days (total Rs. 2800).In that hotel bathrooms were too bad and moreover the water.I will never go to Digha without earlier booking on these kind of special days. Any way except this hotel matter our tour was too good.

Digha Tourist Lodge.: Digha's Better Hotels.

Update as on 12 October'2012 Last month we made a visit to Digha for a night only, this hotel is now refurbished, painted and all renovated as the new non Marxist govt has taken the responsibility to make the Digha town a true weekend getaway in all respect. Now there are many good hotels which have come up in the town with all modern amenities.

Last Friday( 1st of June) we traveled to Digha, un booked. We just got up and drove to Digha about 200 KMs from Kolkata. To our utter surprise we found all better hotels are full and especially A.C. rooms are just not available, it was all booked!!! The better private hotels were charging premium on room rent and behaviour of the reception were totally changed. All these fuss were because they were running to full capacity! The sweltering heat at kolkata was driving people out to go to the beaches. We searched for about 12/ 13 hotels in Old & New Digha and all were full. Then we decided to visit West Bengal Tourism's Digha Tourist Lodge( we never went there as it was govt. run and thought the service and rooms will be horrible). To our surprise we found the the reception was extremely warm, rooms were spacious ( at least 18'*18'), the size of their 2 bath rooms will make the complete room in other better hotels, wall to wall carpet, AC was working and the rates?, extremely reasonable. The ground floor AC room charged to us Rs.700/- plus tax. In other hotels it was half the size and rates were not less than Rs.1500 or Rs 2000 plus tax per day( Plus bad behaviour free). I forgot to take a photo inside the room.

In other words our stay was extremely comfortable in Digha Tourist Lodge, which we had under estimated. It is better advisable to book the rooms well in advance during summer vacations( April end to mid June) of schools. As this place is now very well connected with Calcutta, it can be reached with in 3-4 hours drive and equal time by train. So it remains crowded on weekends and holidays.

Unique Quality: This place has huge lawn, garden, stroll area, big rooms, big toilets, well made beds, good behaviour of the staffs and so on. But every thing requires to be re-touched, re painted, restaurant & Bar needs renovation, furniture needs to be polished, changed. In all it should be handed over to some professional who will make this place look good, feel good. I feel nobody will mind if the rates are increased about 10 to 15% to get better facilities. It is required as it was built in 1960s to 1970s ( when the crowd were less in no and journey took 8-10 hours), with minor renovation from time to time. But today it requires to be renovated completely to give it at least two star category look.

Our room cost was Rs. 800/- or about USD 18 per day. The upstairs rooms would br Rs1000/- or USD 22 per day inclusive of taxes. And frankly saying these are extremely good rates for the kind of room and service you get.

Rooms can be booked from Kolkata itself: Dy.G.M; W.B.T.D.C, Tourism Centre, 3/2 B.B.D.Bag East, Kolkata- 700 001. Phones: 91-33-22485168/ 22103199.
