Imperial Hotel

You can find us over in Rishi Nagar, at 1728/3B in Kotla Mubarakpur. It’s one of those narrow streets in New Delhi where everything is packed together. We run the Imperial Hotel here. It’s not like those giant hotels you see in movies with gold everywhere. It’s a more straightforward place for people to stay. We have a few rooms and we try to keep them tidy. The neighborhood is always active, so there’s always something going on outside our door. Sometimes the electricity acts up, but that’s just life in Delhi. We don’t have a massive staff. It’s usually just a couple of us around to help out when someone checks in. We handle the laundry, the cleaning, and the keys. It’s a lot of work but we’re used to it. The building has been here for a while and it shows its age in some spots. We don’t mind that though. It gives the place a bit of a lived-in feel. Most of our guests are just looking for a place to sleep for the night without any fuss. We don’t promise anything grand, just a bed and a roof. It’s a humble setup. We spend our days making sure the water is running and the rooms are ready for whoever comes next. It’s a basic business, run by regular people. We just take it one guest at a time and try to stay organized.
