Is the hotel internship paid?
Yes. The 6-month internship is paid directly by the hotel property — stipend ₹1,500-₹7,000/month depending on hotel tier and city.

Trainees practise check-in/out, reservations, billing, group bookings, night audit and report generation. PMS fluency is the single highest hiring signal at branded 5-star front offices.
