Hotel Tip Top

Our hotel is located right in the Shahid Aloke Market, near the main bus stand in Durgapur. Being on G T Road means there is always something going on outside. The buses are constantly coming and going, so you hear the horns and the engines all day long. It is a very busy spot. We are on one of the upper floors of the market building. You have to walk through the market area to get to the entrance. It is not the most quiet place, but it is convenient if you are traveling by bus. We have a simple setup. The rooms are just standard rooms with what you need for a night or two. We do the laundry ourselves most of the time. The market downstairs sells everything from clothes to electronics, so it is always crowded. We have a few people working here who handle the front desk and the cleaning. We don't have a kitchen that serves big meals, but there are so many stalls outside that it doesn't really matter. Sometimes the stairs are a bit steep if you have heavy bags, and we don't have a lift. We have lived in Durgapur for a long time and seen the city change quite a bit. Our place stays pretty much the same, though. We just keep the doors open and wait for the next traveler to come in from the bus stand. It is a humble operation for us and we just keep it simple.
