Pravasi Palace Hotel

We have been here on Station Road in Ajmer for a long time now. People usually find us because they just got off a train and need a place to sleep without walking too far. It gets busy during the peak seasons when everyone is coming for the Dargah or just passing through to Pushkar. We spend a lot of our mornings checking people out and making sure the sheets are clean for the next person arriving. It isn't a fancy place with gold curtains, but it stays tidy enough for most travelers. My brother and I handle most of the front desk stuff. Sometimes the street noise from the station gets loud, but that is just part of being in this area. We have seen the city change quite a bit from our front door. Most days we are just busy making sure the water is running right and the fans work. We don't have a big staff, just a few local guys who help with the cleaning and carrying bags up the stairs. If you stay here, you are right in the middle of everything. We try to keep things simple. Sometimes the light bulbs go out or someone loses their key, and we just fix it. It is honest work and we like meeting people from different parts of the country. That's pretty much what we do every day here. There is always someone checking in late or leaving early in the morning.
