Hotel Radiance

We have been here at 15-A/51 Karol Bagh for a long time now. It’s right on Ajmal Khan Road, which is always crowded with people looking at clothes and electronics. Our building is just a normal spot among all the shops. Most days start early when the cleaners come in to get the rooms ready. It isn't anything fancy, just a place to sleep when you are in the city for work or shopping. Sometimes the traffic outside gets really loud, but that’s just how it is in this part of Delhi. We spend a lot of time at the front desk checking IDs and handing out keys. There is a lot to do, like making sure the fans work and the water is running okay. We don't really do big advertisements or anything like that. People mostly find us because they are already walking down the street or someone told them about us. The rooms have basic furniture and we try to keep things tidy enough. It gets quite busy during the festival seasons. You see all kinds of people coming through the doors. Some stay for a night and others stay for a week. We just keep the place going day by day. It’s a bit of an old building, so there is always something to fix or paint. That’s just part of running a business in a place like Karol Bagh, I suppose.
