Hotel Krishna Lodge Dx

Paharganj is a wild place to have a hotel, but that’s where Hotel Krishna Lodge Dx is. We’re tucked away at 3441 Dariba Pan, right across from where Tilak Cinema used to be. If you’ve been to 110055, you know the streets are narrow and there’s always something going on. I’ve been working here for years and I’ve seen just about everything. It’s a lodge, so it’s basic. We have people from all over the world coming through these doors. Some stay for a night, some for a month. I don't try to make it sound like more than it is. It’s a place to sleep in the middle of a very busy part of Delhi. The building is squeezed in between others, and the noise from the street never really stops. You get used to it after a while. I spend my days checking people in and out and making sure the blankets are fresh. We don't have a big lobby with sofas, just a small desk and a set of stairs. It’s honest work. Sometimes the electricity acts up or the water pressure is low, but we fix it as fast as we can. It’s a local business, through and through. We don't have fancy titles or corporate meetings. We just run the lodge and try to stay helpful to whoever walks in off the street. It's a crowded neighborhood but we like it. The energy around here never stops, which keeps life interesting.
