Hotel Panchshil

You can find us at 517 A/2 on Shivaji Park, right on Station Road in Kolhapur. Being near Kavala Naka and the station means we see people from all over who are just getting off a train or heading out on one. The hotel has been around for quite a bit, and the building shows its age in some spots, but we keep it clean. We spend a lot of time at the front desk checking people in or answering the phone when it rings. It’s a busy area with all the noise you’d expect from being near a major station. We don't have any fancy mission statements or corporate slogans written on the walls. We just provide a place for people to stay while they are in Kolhapur for business or personal reasons. The rooms are basic and functional, which is what most of our guests are looking for anyway. Sometimes the plumbing gives us trouble or a guest loses their key, and we just deal with it as it happens. Working on Station Road means there is never a dull moment, but we’ve gotten used to the fast pace of the neighborhood. We don't do much advertising; people usually just walk in because they need a room for the night. We’re just a regular group of people running a hotel in a busy part of town. It keeps us occupied.
