The Hosteller

We are at K90A in Hauz Khas Enclave. It's a house turned into a place for people to sleep while they travel. We spend a lot of time cleaning bathrooms and making sure the beds have fresh sheets. People come from all over, some staying for a night and others for a week. The Enclave is quieter than the main village area, which is nice when you want to sleep. We have a common room with some old chairs and a table where people sit with their laptops or just talk. There's always someone coming or going at odd hours because of the late flights. We keep a stash of maps and some local numbers by the desk to help out. Sometimes it gets a bit loud if a big group arrives at once, but mostly it's just the sound of the washing machine or someone making coffee in the corner. We don't do anything too fancy here, just provide a roof and a place to sit. The walls have some marks on them and the Wi-Fi can be temperamental when everyone is on it at once. We usually tell people where the nearest grocery store is or which way to walk to find the metro station. It's a lot of laundry and checking IDs, really. We just try to keep the place tidy and the water hot for whoever is staying.
