Hotel Shamiyana

You can find us on the fourth floor of Swastik House, which is tucked away in Shahupuri 4th Lane. Being up on the fourth floor means we are a little bit away from the immediate noise of the street, though Kolhapur is never truly quiet. The stairs can be a bit of a climb if the lift is being moody, but most people don't mind. We have been operating here in Shahupuri for years, and the building shows its age in a comfortable way. The rooms are basic and the windows look out over the rooftops of the neighborhood. We don't offer fancy packages or guided tours. People come here because they know the area or because they have business at the nearby offices. The staff usually sits near the entrance, ready to help with keys or to tell you where some good local tea is sold. We keep the place as clean as possible, though the monsoon season always brings a bit of dampness to the air. It’s a very local experience staying here. You'll hear the sounds of the city waking up and the bells from the temples nearby. We don't have a big lobby with sofas, just a few chairs and a desk. It’s a straightforward place to stay for a night or two while you're in this part of town. No fuss, just a bed and a roof. We do our best.
