Jayraj Hotel

Our hotel is located at plot number 5, right at Nari chowkdi in Vartej. It’s a bit of a dusty spot because of all the trucks and buses that pass through the crossroads every hour. Being near Bhavnagar, we see a lot of travelers who are just passing through or people working in the nearby industrial areas. We are situated quite close to Komal hotel, which is another landmark people use to find us. The building itself is straightforward, with rooms that we try to keep as tidy as possible for anyone looking to rest. The wind blows quite hard across the open plots around here, so we’re always sweeping the front steps to keep the dirt away. In the mornings, it’s mostly about checking people out and getting the linens changed. The lobby is small, just a desk and a couple of chairs where people wait. We don't have a big staff, so we all end up doing a bit of everything, from handling the register to checking on the water supply. It’s a practical place for someone who needs a bed near the highway. We’ve been here at this junction for a while now, watching the traffic grow and the road get wider. It's a busy life at the chowkdi, but we like the pace of it. There is always someone new coming through the door, and that keeps our days interesting.
