Hotel Mantralaya

Hotel Mantralaya is located at 162/19 A/3 in Solapur. We are right opposite the railway lines and near the Old Employment Chowk. You can hear the trains passing by quite often, which some people don't like, but it’s right there if you’re coming in by rail. We have been here for a good number of years. The building is an older style, typical for this part of Solapur. It’s a busy neighborhood with a lot of shops and small businesses nearby. We don't have a fancy website or a big staff. Usually, it's just one or two of us at the desk. We spend a lot of time sweeping the floors and checking the plumbing. The Old Employment Chowk is a landmark that everyone knows, so we're easy to find. Our guests are usually people coming to town for work or to visit relatives. We don't offer much beyond a bed and a bathroom. There’s a lot of dust from the road, so we're always cleaning. We aren't trying to impress anyone with luxury. We just provide a place to stay for people who need it. It’s a practical setup. Most nights are quiet despite the trains. We've lived in Solapur our whole lives, so this feels like the right place for us to be. We just keep the gates open and wait for whoever needs a room. The street lights outside stay on all night, so it's easy to see the building from the road. We are just here.
