Hotel Landmark Inn

If you know Delhi, then you know how Karol Bagh can be. Our place, Hotel Landmark Inn, is right there at 10184 on the Main Arya Samaj Road. It is a noisy, busy street and there is always a vendor shouting or a rickshaw honking right outside the doors. We’ve gotten used to it over the years, though. The building is right in the middle of all those shops selling clothes and electronics. We spend most of our mornings just sweeping the dust off the front steps because the road gets so much traffic. It is a narrow building, typical for this part of the 110005 zip code, so we have to make use of every inch of space we have. The stairs are a bit steep, but we help people with their bags so it isn't too much of a bother. Inside, it is a lot quieter than the street, luckily. We don't have a giant staff, just a few of us who take turns at the desk and look after the rooms. We mostly see people who are here for shopping or business in the local markets. It’s a practical place. You walk out the door and everything you could possibly need is within a five-minute walk. It gets a bit hectic during festival seasons, but we just keep doing our jobs and making sure the rooms are ready for whoever shows up next.
