Hotel Railview

The name Hotel Railview pretty much tells you everything about where we are. We are right near the railway station here in Kollam, 691001. You can hear the trains coming and going all day and night. It’s a place for people who are just getting off a long trip and need to lie down for a few hours. We see a lot of tired faces at the front desk. The building is a bit older and has seen a lot of people pass through its doors. We don't have a lot of bells and whistles. We just provide a room and a bed. Most of our work is just changing sheets and making sure the bathrooms are okay for the next person. It gets a bit hectic when the big trains arrive and everyone wants a room at the same time. We try to be quick with the paperwork. There is no big mission statement here. We just want to make sure the ceiling fans are spinning and the lights work. The station area is always a bit chaotic with rickshaws and vendors, so once people get inside, they usually just want some quiet. We don’t do anything fancy with the decor. It is just plain walls and functional furniture. It’s a busy life running a place this close to the tracks, but it keeps us on our toes every day.
