Sahar International Hotel

Being right opposite Andheri Railway Station means there is always something happening outside our doors. It is Mumbai, so the area is never really quiet. We are on the Khadia Bala Hanuman Road side in Andheri East. People are always rushing to catch their trains or coming from the airport. We get a lot of tired guests who just want a bed and a hot shower. The building has been here for a long time. It has got that old-school feel to it that you do not see as much anymore. We do not have those fancy touchscreens or modern art in the lobby. There is just a desk and some chairs for waiting. The staff knows the city well, so we help out with directions to the station or where to find a good cup of chai. It is a lot of work keeping up with the constant turnover of guests. One person checks out and another is already waiting at the front desk. We try to keep the rooms decent and clean. It is a busy life running a hotel in this part of town. Sometimes the traffic noise comes through the windows, but that is just part of staying in Andheri. We do not make big promises. You get a room and a place to keep your luggage. It is honest work and we see people from all over the country every day. (252 words)
