Hotel The Imperial, New Delhi

Our place is located on the ground floor over in Mahipalpur Extension. It’s Flat No. 4, specifically. If you know the Old Rangpuri Road area, you know it stays quite active because it’s so close to the airport. We aren't one of those massive hotels with a hundred floors. We’re more of a modest setup. We put in a lot of effort to keep the rooms tidy and the linens changed. Sometimes the traffic outside can get a bit loud, which is just part of being in this part of New Delhi. We have a few staff members who help with check-ins and making sure guests find the building okay. It can be a bit tricky to find us the first time, so we usually tell people to look for the L/36/1 marking. The rooms are simple. We don’t have gold-plated faucets or anything. It’s just a place to sleep and wash up. We see a lot of travelers passing through, some staying for just a few hours before a flight. We try to make sure the water is hot and the lights work. If a bulb goes out, we fix it as soon as someone tells us. It’s a small operation, really. We live nearby, so we’re around if something goes wrong. It’s not a fancy life, but we like meeting different people every day.
