Hotel Shangrila, Delhi

Hotel Shangrila is tucked away in North Delhi, in Sector-9 Rohini. If you’re looking for us, you’ll see we are in Sukhdham Apartments at Flat No.-57. It’s a bit unusual for a hotel to be in an apartment block, but it works for us and the people who stay here. Delhi is always crowded and noisy, but Rohini feels a little more spread out than the central parts. We’ve been running this for a while now. It’s not the kind of place with a big neon sign out front. Most of our guests find us through word of mouth or they’ve stayed here before when they had business at the courts or the local markets. The rooms are basically like being in someone's home, which some people prefer over those cold, empty hotel rooms. We have a kitchen where we make basic stuff like tea and maybe some toast in the morning. The elevator in the building works most of the time, but sometimes it gets stuck, so we tell people to be careful. It’s a quiet enough spot compared to the main roads. We don't have a lot of staff, just a couple of us who take turns being at the desk. We keep the keys in a little wooden box. It’s just a simple setup for folks who need a bed in Rohini without paying for a big fancy hotel they won't even use while they are out working.
