Hotel Krishna Delux

You can find us over in Raviwar Peth, right near Uma Talkies. Hotel Krishna Delux has been sitting here at 851 C ward on Rajaram Road for quite some time now. Kolhapur is a busy place, and this neighborhood is no different. Being so close to the cinema means there’s always people walking around and plenty of noise, which I kind of like. It’s a family-run sort of thing. We don't have a big manual on how to do things, we just do them. If a lightbulb goes out, I’m usually the one climbing the ladder to fix it. We have people coming in for all sorts of reasons, some for the temples and others just for business in the 416002 area. The building is older but it holds up well. I try to keep the atmosphere relaxed. We aren't one of those places where everyone wears a suit. I’m usually just in my regular clothes hanging out by the entrance. It’s a lot of work keeping a hotel going in Raviwar Peth, especially during the festival seasons when everything gets packed. We just try to keep the rooms clean and the water hot. It’s not a complicated business model. We've been here a long time and the locals all know where we are. It’s just a regular spot for regular people passing through Kolhapur. I enjoy meeting the different folks who walk through the door. Some stay for a night, others stay longer. We just take it as it comes.
