The Imperial Hotel, Delhi

We’ve been at this spot in Janakpuri for quite some time now. People usually find us easily enough near the C5B block. It’s not a fancy skyscraper or anything like that, just a regular place where people can stay when they’re visiting Delhi. We see a lot of folks coming through for weddings or just work. The rooms are kept tidy, and we try to make sure the lights work and there is enough water for everyone. It’s a busy neighborhood, so there is always something going on outside our doors. Some days are quieter than others. We don't have a big team of people in suits, it’s mostly just a few of us making sure things run okay day to day. We fix what gets broken and try to keep the lobby looking decent. Usually, travelers are looking for a place that isn't too expensive but feels okay enough to sleep in, and that’s what we do here. It’s just how things are in this part of town. Sometimes the traffic gets loud, but that is New Delhi for you. We just keep the doors open and wait for the next guest to show up. It’s a simple setup. Nothing too complicated or over the top. We just do our work and go home at the end of the shift. If you are around Janakpuri, you might have seen our sign. We've been here a while and plan to stay for many more years.
