Victoria Hotel

Victoria Hotel sits right on Krishnagiri Road at 968/P. It’s a straightforward place. We get a lot of people driving through who just need to stop for a meal or a night’s sleep before heading back out on the highway. Being on the road like this means there’s always dust and the sound of heavy engines. We spend a good chunk of our day just sweeping the front and keeping the kitchen running. We don’t have a big menu or anything complicated. It’s mostly simple food that we know how to cook well. The rooms are basic too. We don’t have fancy carpets or designer furniture. It’s just bed, fan, and a bathroom. We see a lot of truck drivers and families on long trips. Some stay for an hour, some stay until morning. We’ve been here for a while, and we’ve seen the road get wider and the traffic get faster. It’s a lot of work keeping a place like this going 24 hours a day. Someone always has to be awake to check someone in or fix a leaking tap. We don’t make a big deal out of it; it’s just how we earn a living. The sun gets really hot on this stretch of road, so we try to keep the lobby as cool as possible for whoever walks in.
