Vista Hotel

Being right near Krishna Mandir here in Delhi makes things interesting for us at Vista Hotel. You can hear the bells and the people going to the temple all the time. It’s a busy part of the city, and our address in 110030 is right in the middle of all that noise and energy. We’ve got people coming in at all hours, some staying for just a night and others staying longer because they have work nearby. The rooms are what they are, we keep them clean and make sure the fans and lights work. It’s not a five-star place with gold curtains, but it’s a place to sleep. My cousin helps out with the check-ins sometimes when I need a break. We spend a lot of time just talking to guests about where to find good food or how to get to the metro without getting lost. The weather in Delhi gets really hot, so we spend a lot of time making sure the water is cold and the coolers are running. Vista Hotel isn't part of some big chain. It’s just our building near the mandir. We see the same flower sellers every morning when we open up the main gate. It feels like we are part of the street. Some days are exhausting with all the luggage and the questions, but we just keep at it because it’s our job. We just try to stay open and keep things simple.
