Hotel Karveer Pride

Hotel Karveer Pride is located in Kolhapur, right opposite the Shahu Market Yard. Being across from the market means it’s always lively. Trucks arrive early with produce, and you can hear the crates moving as early as four in the morning. I usually wake up then to make sure the gate is open. The hotel is a square building with a simple sign out front. We have a lot of traders staying with us because they need to be close to the market for their work. The lobby is just a small room with a desk and a calendar on the wall. Our rooms are kept as clean as we can manage with all the dust from the yard outside. We have sturdy beds and small cupboards for clothes. My wife handles the laundry, so you’ll often see sheets drying on the roof when the sun is out. We don’t offer much besides a room and a bathroom. There’s a tap in the hallway if people need extra water. It’s a busy life running a place here, and there isn't much time for sitting around. We know the people at the market yard well, and sometimes they come over for a chat when their shifts are over. It’s a practical spot for working people who are just here for the trade. We don't have many frills, just the basics for a good night's rest.
