Bandhan Hotel&Restaurant

We’ve been here at 11 Vivekananda Sarani for a good while now. It’s a busy part of Kolkata, so there is always noise from the street outside. Our place, Bandhan Hotel&Restaurant, is just a regular spot where people come to eat or stay if they are passing through. In the mornings, it gets quite hectic with folks wanting breakfast before work. We have a few rooms upstairs that aren’t fancy, but they do the job for someone needing a bed. The walls might need a fresh coat of paint soon, but we keep things clean enough. Sometimes the fans make a bit of noise, but that’s just how things are in these old buildings. Kolkata is hot, especially in the summer, so people like to sit inside for a bit of shade. We don't have a big team, just a few of us making sure the food is ready and the rooms are tidy. It’s not a big corporate hotel or anything like that. It’s just us. We see a lot of local faces every day. Some people have been coming here for years just for a cup of tea. It’s a lot of work keeping up with the city’s pace, but we manage. You can find us pretty easily if you know the area near the main road. It’s just a plain building with a sign outside, nothing too flashy to look at.
