The property is comfortable and calm. Complimentary breakfast is substancial with many options. Best of all was the TukTuk driver and guide Manju, he really made my trip magical. He knows the area well and can recommend less seen sites and great hikes for sunrise and sunset. You can book him at the front desk or contact him on WhatsAp 8123456812
Great location for exploring main Hampi ruins. Beautiful gardens. Really good swimming pool. Excellent buffet dinners and good breakfast (masala dosa/masala omelette cooked to order). Comfy bed. Good shower. If I am picky I would say bathrooms a little tired and aircon unit extremely noisy but we loved our four night stay.
While the rooms are big they are old and dated. They had 2 single beds joined with 2 separate doonas which was not comfortable. The grounds were quiet and pool nice but also showing wear with broken tiles. Typical buffet food, warm but plenty of it and they did serve alcohol.
It’s a great hotel.
It’s some distance from the ruins so transport needed.
Try the spa.
Only downside is the ridiculous rule about the pool closing at 7. It’s well lit and safe so no need to close.
Hotel management engaged in serious price-gouging: because home-stays had been shut down recently across the Hampi region because of a court case, we were charged US$280/night for one room for this hotel. (Despite this they wanted to charge us more for an extra bed and breakfast for our child.) The service was ok, there was an overall smallness in the way the place was run.
