Hotel Maithri

We’ve been here in the Raghu Building for a while now. It’s right on Kulur Ferry Road in the Ashoknagar part of Mangalore. If you know where Kavitha Residency is, you can find us pretty easily since we’re right near there. It’s a busy spot. Most days start early with the sounds of the road getting louder. We spend a lot of time just keeping things running. The building itself is okay, nothing fancy, just a regular place where people stop by. Sometimes the traffic outside gets a bit much, especially during the peak hours in the morning. We see a lot of regulars from around the neighborhood. Ashoknagar has its own rhythm, you know? People walking to work or catching the bus. We try to keep the place tidy. There’s always something to fix or a floor to sweep. It’s just how it is running a spot like this. We don’t have a big team, just a few of us making sure everything is in order. The weather here in Mangalore can be tough on the walls, so we’re always touching things up. It’s not like those big fancy hotels you see on TV. We’re just a local business on the corner. You get used to the noise and the salt in the air after a while. Most people just want a place that’s open when they need it. We’re here most of the time anyway and we do what we can.
