Hospet accommodation from AU$40

Clean. Friendly staff. V convenient when visiting badami temples

The Hampi Hotel has good and bad levels of service. The good, great for the railway station and Hampi historical sites. Good restaurant especially for evening meal (maitre d'hotel) as good as anywhere we have been. The breakfast could have been better only a limited choice. Laundry service was good, but not ironed The bedding could have been cleaner. We asked for a quiet room and were located three floors above the outdoor function room. Fortunately the very loud noise stopped at 11 pm. Check out was a nightmare. We were given a bill for sundries only, we asked what about the room cost and was told that this would be debited from our credit card when we booked the room. On route to Mysuru we received frantic phone calls that we had left w/o paying. We ended up sending our driver back with cash. Not impressed.

We were 3 couples all above 56 years old. When we arrived at the hotel there were 3 large group check-in ..but they handed our room keys to us and said they could complete all formalities after the crowd dispersed. This allowed us to rest and do siteseeing peacefully that day. The hotel had an excellent restaurant and a roof top bar which was great in terms of quality and ambience. The front lobby staff was extremely helpful. Overall the entire staff was great and helpfull. The hotel had a SPA where the masseurs were excellent. The swomming pool was nice but we had no opportunity to use it. Breakfast was nice..good variety and taste..made to order options for eggs and dosas plus coffee, tea etc was excellent. The location of the hotel was very good and it had very large parking space. We had a large minivan but had nor problem parking conveniently. The rooms which we got on the 4th floor were simply great.. 5 star facilities at 3 star rates. Understand that these were new rooms and the other rooms may not be having all these facilities like mood lighting, lcd controls, etc. An additional floor was being builting which was a pain at times due to construction sound..really did not bother us much as ae were siteseeing/ travelling theoughout the day. Check out was also very food. Frankly it was an excellent package of quality rooms, good food with variety, excellent location.. if traveling to Hampi / Vijaynagar a great hotel to stay. Excellent family feeling and ambience service
