Hotel Poornanad

You can find us on the first floor of the Century Complex on Market Road. We’re right across from the Sangam Theatre, so we get a lot of people coming in before or after a movie. Being on the first floor means you have to walk up the stairs, but it gets you away from the direct noise of the street for a bit. We’ve been in this building in Gulbarga for a long time. The setup is pretty simple. We have rooms for people staying over and a space where you can sit. It’s an old building, so it has some character, maybe a few cracks here and there, but it’s sturdy. We don't have a big team, just a few of us who handle the cleaning and the front desk. Market Road is always busy, so there’s always something going on outside. We try to keep the rooms tidy and the fans working. It’s not a luxury place, just a spot for someone who needs to stay in the center of town without spending too much. Most of our guests are here for work or visiting family nearby. We don't use any fancy booking systems, mostly just writing things down and talking to people when they arrive. If the theatre across the street has a big hit playing, the whole area gets very lively and it can be hard to find a spot. We just stay here and keep things running as best as we can every day. It’s work, but it’s what we do.
