Atshya Hotel

We’ve been here at Somu Chetty Street for a while now. It's right across from the Royapuram police station, so it’s pretty easy for people to find us when they’re in this part of Chennai. Atshya Hotel isn't fancy, but it's where we work every day. We handle the rooms and the kitchen mostly. Some days are busier than others, especially when there’s a lot going on in Royapuram. We try to keep things clean and simple. You won't find anything too complicated here. It’s just us running the place. Sometimes the traffic outside gets loud, but that’s just how this area is. We see a lot of regulars coming in, people who live nearby or work close by. We’ve got a routine down now. Usually, someone is at the front desk or in the back making sure things are moving along. We don't have a big corporate team or anything like that. It’s a small operation. We focus on the basics like making sure the beds are made and the food is ready for whoever walks through the door. It gets hot in Chennai, so we do what we can to make it comfortable inside. If you’re walking down the street past the station, you'll see our sign. We're just a local spot doing our job. Nothing more to it than that. We hope people feel okay when they stay here. That's about it really. It is what it is.
