The 20 best cheap eats in Hampi

Rooms: The room was decent and well lit. Most important of all, it was super clean, especially the washroom. And yes, it had the needed space. The restaurant: They have a BEAUTIFUL roofside restaurant where you can enjoy the most beautiful view of the river Tungabhadra. We spent almost half of the time there. The sunsets are a must watch!! Food: They do have many things on the menu. Most of them are tasty and delicious: Don't miss their Indian breakfast (Paratha, Chai and curd). We also tried Lasagne, which was yum as well! Paneer tikka masala could have been better though! The host: THE BEST!!!!! The host Siva is quite helpful with everything: be it tourist sites, bikes, cycles, buses, etc. He has a beautiful family who just seem to be making you feel home. They have a sweet little daughter who I'm lucky to have made friends with. 🧡 I'd definitely recommend and would love to visit again!!!

Funky Monkey in Hampi was such a gem! The place was super clean, and the food was just amazing. The owners are the sweetest—they treated us like family and went out of their way to make our visit special. They’re also local guides, so they gave us awesome tips on what to see in Hampi and what to skip. They even hooked us up with reliable local autos to avoid getting overcharged on weekends. When we were stuck figuring out how to get to Badami, they laid out all the options and arranged a fairly priced cab when nothing else was available. Honestly, their hospitality made our trip so much better. If you’re in Hampi, you’ve gotta check out Funky Monkey!

Fantastic setting. Stunning views. Lots of space to chill out and lounge about. Great varied menu and fine coffee. Staff really friendly and take care of all your needs. Sadly need to move on. I'll miss this place.

wouldn’t recommend if you’re in a jiffy and want to get around to different places in hampi. they literally took 1 hour 15 mins to deliver our order (party of three). in fact our order was basic indian food, not even complicated or any other cuisine. we even noticed them deliver different customers who came later than us. completely annoyed us and threw our plan off for the entire day. the taste of the food was okay though. they have a clean washroom as well.

We visited this place on our way to Virupaksha temple. We were hoping for a quick meal. While we were warned that our meals would take 20 mins to prepare, it actually took 1 hr and 15 mins for it to be prepared. It derailed our plans and by the end of it we were begging for our meals. Every time we d check up on the status, they ll dismiss us saying it will be ready in 5 mins. They were least bothered. No professionalism at all.

Located right in the shore of Thungabatra river with an amazing view - river on your right, Veerapakshi temple on your left. Peaceful and less crowded. All their items are flavourful and perfectly cooked as per your instructions.

The rooms were nice and spotless, and the best part is that the property sits right beside the Tungabhadra River. The morning view from the rooftop is absolutely mesmerizing. Siva was extremely helpful—he even connected me with a local auto bhaiya who doubled as a tour guide, making my trip so much easier. Siva and his family were warm, welcoming, and truly made me feel at home. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Hampi!

We were on our way to another hotel for breakfast, but it was closed. A couple of locals saw our faces of disappointment, and - after a quick glance to each other, as if they were unsure about sharing a long-kept secret - they pointed towards Segar Hotel Hampi. And my oh my, what a treat this was! It was packed with locals (a good sign) with smiles on their faces while eating (a great sign). So we sat and got two our favorite things: idli and paddu… and they did not disappoint - they were delicious! So much so that I learned how to say “delicious” in Kannada, just to make sure the wonderful ladies who manage and operate this place could understand me. Oh, yea, that’s another perk: this place is operated and managed by 4 lovely Indian ladies. 5 stars across the board!

This place is entirely run by three women who treated us with a warm, motherly touch. The food was homely and delicious— I felt it was better than ‘Taste of Brahmins’ next door. I highly recommend it for a flavourful, local-style breakfast.

Sagar Hotel was an absolute delight! We tried almost all their dishes over three days, and every single one was super delicious. It became our go-to breakfast spot during our Hampi trip — we would ride down every morning from Virupapur Gaddi just to eat here, and it was worth it every time. Amaa… what an experience! We also had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Ganga Devi ji and her daughter Begum, which made our visits even more memorable. Sagar Hotel truly added a homely and authentic touch to our Hampi mornings. Highly recommended!

Clean and welcoming ambience, rapid service with smiling faces, converse in English and very homely and tasty food! Chutney was a hit! Limited options yet tasty and healthy ones. O not to forget the economical pricing of it! Must visit when in Hampi.

What a brilliant find, lovely crispy vadas and hot idlis with spicy chutney is what we had here. The famous Taste of Brahmins was overcrowded so we sat here for bfast. It is just next to it. The food was delicious, and hot, and Sagar kept refilling our chutneys without us saying anything. Cost is also reasonable. We absolutely loved it. I think you should skip the famous bfast places in Hampi and eat here, you won't be disappointed.

Home made fresh food served Great taste Ildi were very soft mouth melting

We had breakfast here twice. Excellent homemade fare served hot off the fire by a team of jolly middle-aged to senior women! We loved it!!

An unmissable breakfast place at Hampi bazaar street on the right side of Virupaksha temple gopuram. They serve freshly made authentic South Indian breakfast. Everything is tasty but masala dosa and appe/paddu are must haves with filter coffee. The people running this place are very sweet and treat customers respectfully. Overall a 10/10 place to go for authentic South Indian breakfast. It gets closed by noon for rest of the day.

Taste of Brahmins serves really tasty, homely food at very affordable rates. Located right behind Virupaksha Temple, it’s perfect for a quick, satisfying breakfast after exploring. Simple, fresh, and comforting food highly recommend!

This spot is GOATED and we even repeated this spot. Had Masala Dosa, Ghee Masala Dosa, Idli, Onion Uthappam and Paddu (Appe), Tea and Coffee and everything was good. You can go there and order any of the above items blindly and you won't be disappointed.

We enjoyed an authentic Brahmin-style breakfast here, trying the appam and uttapam—both were really great. This place only opens for breakfast, making it a perfect morning stop. Definitely a must-visit for a traditional and flavorful start to the day!

Me and my brother were recommended by our guide Kitty to this gem of a place. It is a hole in the wall experience but the food and staff were great. It felt like eating at home and the taste reminded me of eating at my grandparents house. The place is run by couple of brothers and their parents. We went back to this place for all of the 3 days we were in Hampi. If you don’t care about a fancy ambience but like simple good breakfast this is the place. The location is to the right of the temple in the small lane.

The idly here was simply superb. honestly one of the best I’ve ever had! It just melts in your mouth like water. Not just the idly, but the appe and dosa are also top-notch. A must-visit place in Hampi for authentic taste and quality. Highly recommended to everyone visiting Hampi – you shouldn’t miss this experience!

Overhyped Hotel. Taste is just average. 3rd class service. We visited this place on Saturday morning, they fail to manage crowd. Dont waste time and money.

The rooms were clean, cozy and old school. We took the non AC rooms. It matched the vibe of the town, and the location is great as it is very close to Virupaksha temple. The restaurant has good ambience and the service is also good. The price for the food is general tourist locality prices, and the quantity and taste is also good. There is a boy called Ganesh who works there and has great and positive energy! Only suggestion is that they could have provided clean towels and complimentary water bottles along with the rooms.

Dropped by this small, hippie-style café with those quirky crab tables and cozy corners. The place has a nice vibe, relaxed and artsy, and the chai we ordered was genuinely good. But yeah, the prices felt a bit over the top for what it is. A nice spot to check out once, but definitely on the expensive side.

Very nice place right in the middle of Ancient Hampi- a view of the temples from the rooftop and a few cheeky monkeys looking to grab food. Service was very good- Ganesh the young lad was a great waiter and the owners and drivers they organised were all really friendly and kind. Super nice people and very helpful, would recommend anyone who is planning to visit Hampi.

Best and perfect hotel to expire south Hampi. 2 min walk from vishwaroopam temple. During 3 days stay Caretaker and support staff treat us very friendly, Both are Loyal and helpful nature. they arrange auto for Hospate station pickup and explore Hampi. Due to heritage location Room having basic amenities but they are clean and safe. Breakfast, lunch/ dinner having verious options, taste also good 😊 value for money. Especially try Banana flower curry ( केळफूल). Excellent Hospitality 😊👍👍

I recently stayed at Gopi Home Stay and had my meals at Gopi Restaurant, and honestly, it felt like being at home. The rooms were clean, cozy, and comfortable, and the people there were super warm and welcoming especially Amma & Manju 🤗. But the best part? Amma’s Traditional Thali! It was absolutely delicious the kind of food that reminds you of maa ke haath ka khaana. 😘

We lodged here for 3 nights. Room given to us felt congested for the price we paid. Rooms are clean and well maintained. Virupaksha is just a stone's throw away. Their roof top seating offers a splendid 360 degree view of the surrounding, even as far as Anjanedri, needless to say the view of the meandering Tungabhadra is astounding. I however regret to say that I left an article during checkout and the staff was not very cooperative in helping me trace the article. So word of caution is be extremely careful during check out as anything left behind may not be retrieved.

Lovely people and great food :) what surprised us positively, was that there is also a great communal area in the shade, with chill low couches. The pick up & drop from Hospet, with rickshaw, was super convenient. Staying in Hampi - a small authentic village - was also a lovely experience while the guesthouse was the best hang out we could wish for

We had our Sunday breakfast here. Its a good place with Hippie vibe. The food was good and they happily customized it too. We had a good time just chilling and enjoying our breakfast. You will have to walk down to the place as vehicles are not allowed. We had English breakfast with ginger lemon honey along with some pancakes.

In the last day in Hampi, I was checked out and no place to go, so Dada from Megha Guesthouse and Dada from souvenir shop advice me to sit here. I ordered Baked potato, Tropical juice smoothie, and Carbonara pasta. They are all delicious and served in big plate so I can't finish them 😅 Also, if you have no place to go, you can sit here in this restaurant as long as you want.

This cafe is located near river and has good food options. We enjoyed hummus and falafel, Sicilian pasta and banana Nutella pancakes. All food was delicious and tasty

There are two Chillout restaurants almost next door to each other Chillout Bamboo Rooftop Restaurant and Old Ganesh Chillout Restaurant. We went to both and this review is for the old Ganesh one at street level - we only went once for dinner. The food was ok, the service was a bit average to be fair, lots on the menu they didn’t have. The vibe was ok but not as comfortable, relaxing or as clean as the restaurant upstairs.

I had a wonderful experience with the food, especially the South Indian thali and the special thali. A special mention goes to the jeera rice — it was absolutely delicious. The highlight was the excellent service, particularly from the lady who served us with great patience. The ambience is simple, but considering the budget-friendly prices, it’s definitely worth it.

Ganesh Old Chillout in Hampi is a gem! This cozy rooftop spot in Hampi Bazaar offers tasty vegetarian dishes—think creamy porridge, falafel, and hearty thalis—with stunning river or banana grove views. Affordable (₹200-400), chill vibes, and friendly service make it perfect for unwinding. Service can be slow considering shortage of staff but it's worth the wait.Grab a cushion, enjoy the music, and don’t miss the sunset! Open 7 AM-10:30 PM; book for peak times.

Had their bruschetta and egg noodles. Noodles were really good but the service was very slow.

A good place overall with affordable prices. The food quality and taste are quite satisfying. For non-vegetarian options, they only serve egg varieties, but they have a decent selection of vegetarian dishes as well. A nice spot for a budget-friendly meal!

We had a disappointing experience with the food. We ordered Mushroom Masala and Paneer along with Chapathi, but the taste was not up to the mark. However, the ambience was pleasant — a good place to sit, relax, and enjoy some music. Would recommend for the atmosphere, but not for the food.

Worst experience ever They made us wait 1hour for food Asked for watermelon juice for 1 by 2, server gave second glass and said you make it yourself I don't know how to divide😂. Asked for Biryani, thought they gave fried rice, they gave tomato bath😂 Advice to foreigners - don't walk in. Advice to Indians - run

Hey there!! If you are looking for an honest review, here you are. First off all, they have both kinds of services. Firstly, they do have homestay, which is good, but according to the price, it's super expensive because it contains less space; hardly two people can move at a time, and it's double bad, but they also have an extra mattress, but it smells very bad, as if they are dumb or they haven't washed it in a long time. The washroom was clean and spacious, no doubt, and also has warm water facilities. Secondly, they have a restaurant. Ambiens are good, but the taste of food is average. I didn't feel anything special in their food. All I could tell you is the food was tasteless. Most importantly, the owner may be a couple running this business. They are super rude people. These two people are enough to disappoint you and spoil your whole trip because they don't know how to speak to their guests. Because of this my whole trip was under disappointing. So if you want to enjoy your Hampi trip, this place is not for you. Thank you. S.P

Worst experience ever Owner is smoking cigarette near tables while eating We ordered masala dosa, but it was quite disappointing. It was burnt in some places and extremely thick, not crispy at all. The masala didn’t taste fresh and it felt like we were just eating plain batter. Even the chutney wasn’t good. Also omlette, it's not at all worth the money The lighting was very poor, and the music was loud and unpleasant.

Worst experience I have had in a while. Bad food, bad taste, nothing is fresh, they served us frozen roti reheated. The gravy smelled like raw onion, quantity is the lowest I have had in a while. Table is not clean, even the menu card is so dirty you can draw on it. They managed to mess up even daal fry which they took 30 mins to serve.

I had a worst experience . serving staff is very Rude.like we eating something for free.not kids friendly.not suggested for family, taste is not good . We went there after seeing the rating. Overpriced even the MRP rate ,they charged 30 rs for 10 rs priced product

Delicious and yummy south indian breakfast to have if you are in hampi. You can eat outside the stall and they also have one small room besides with some chairs and a table . Simple and budget food. We have ordered Masala dosa and uttapam both very good. Must visit if around

This place is just amazing to have a proper and delicious breakfast. We had Masala Dosa,Onion Uttapa ,Idali Chatani and Coffee , Everything was utterly delicious. This is the best breakfast we had in hampi. One should not miss it when in hampi ,also the owner Santosh is a nice and friendly guy.

Dose was super delicious and chutney definitely was the highlight it’s soo tasty and goes very well with light dose he makes . Must try.

Sambhu dosa center serves Delicious south Indian food specially the masala dosa is yummmmy if you are in hampi I suggest plz eat a masala dosa at sambhu food corner it's makes your day . Hygienic and fast service with great facilities freindly staff

Just the best masala dosa .. enjoy.. I’m already jealous. Best Hampi memories .

Amazing food. Must try for South Indian breakfast and filter coffee. 🙂

Pure south india authentic food. Yummy delicious food. Tea coffee is awesome. Very humble friendly owner.

One of the best hangouts in Hippie island. Lovely and friendly staff! I've was there all through the day, had breakfast, lunch and dinner. The owner Ravi is very accommodative. Though you've to patiently wait for the order to be delivered, it is worth the wait. I stayed there for the night. The place is good for family, group and solo travellers.

Decent place to stay at Hampi. Its renamed as RK Residency. The rooms were decent, not quite impressive. The cafe is really serene with awesome trans and deep house music playing all day long. The worst part of the restaurant is the very slow and poor service which gets on the nerve. The owners should definitely look into improving the cafe services there.

One of the best places on the island. Food is very delicioud and the waiters are very friendly and fast. The place is beautiful with nature all around. The music is a very good mix of chill in the morning and party at night. Would recommend to everyone!

So this is my favorite place to eat, chill and get high in Hampi. First week we tried many of the restaurants of the road. Second week we only went to Gopi. Every day for every meal The Spanish breakfast was so good that we ordered it every single day (with some slight variations). Music is also very nice. They play funky music, chill out, minimalist techno, techno of the jungle and more. (there is a couple of playlist I will change but overall it was very good). Service was also perfect. The staff is very kind and they are always trying to make you happy. They always repeat "everything is possible my friend". Also try the the lasagna and order Indian food. And please please please don't miss the view of those green fields.

This place is in hippie island. It is located near paddy fields, so you can see the fields during your dining experience which is awesome. I went on New year's eve. They had campfire and live music at night (free). For accommodation, we got small huts which was convenient. Although the power was cutting in the morning sometimes. They don't provide any toiletries (not even towel). For hot water, you need to take your bucket and fill it from one tap present in common area. Overall, I liked the place.

The food, service and ambiance were amazing. It was a last minute decision to halt here. Almost around 9 PM we decided that we would want to stay back and the owner was really helpful and arranged for a room for us immediately. The food here was the best we could get at Virupapur Gaddie.!

Natural vibes.. reminded me of my village..staffs are well mannered. Paddy field view in cafe is great along with the Music played by dj. Multiple options for rooms are available. There is a garden area to just sit and chill

One of the many restaurants in hampi village. They also have rooms for rent.

Nice place and good vibes ! They serve amazing soups !! Vegetable noodle soup and potato garlic soup are my personal favorite !! Indian food is also satisfactory that too at good price. I found rates are inexpensive in this restaurant compared to other restaurants in area ! Good food in good price. Must try when you are in Hampi. We met some crazy travelllers there they shared their travel stories with us ! Had great time on new year's Eve !😁

The place is not so hygienic. The staff were also kind of rude and with don't care attitude. Coming to the food- its pathetic. They don't know how to cook food. They just know some names which they put on the menu. Price is also over charged. Suggest not to visit.

Quite expensive, not really a Tibetan restaurant but there are other varieties. The cafe is rooftop and there is no fan, so might get uncomfortable in the day.

Nothing new. It's like any of the shacks that populate the spot. The dishes are just ok and the ambience is so-so (don't expect pristine dining here).

Noooooo.......... Slow service Lack options (not on menu card though) Taste is ok Ambience ok Cleanliness can be much better Overall not recommended, try out other options.

Nice chilled atmosphere, good lemonade, not bad Tibetan food

Great place to relax and chill if you are near Virupaksha temple!! Super laid back and calm atmosphere, with great and affordable food. We tried pizza and watermelon mint juice over here and the juice was so refreshing

Tasty food items. Indian Thali is great. Their use of spices in food items also exqusite. Even chidren can also enjoy food items. It gives nice view of Virupaksha Temple Gopuram. You can have supper here with family in cozy atmosphere and cool winds. They have indian style sitting arrangment called "Baithak". Humble and polite people. They serve everything fresh here so you have to wait sometime after giving order.

Google map actually made us go there. This is very remote. I wouldn’t recommend going there even on bike. Food was ok and expensive. We had a fried rice and omelette

Indeed a good place to dine. Hopped into Ravi's Rose for a dinner and loved the seating and ambiance. Ordered Garlic chips (garlic fries), noodles soup, veg biryani, veg raita, banana milkshake and mixed fruit lassi.. the quality and the quantity was perfect!! But they definitely need to speed up their services (apparently there's only one / two cooks and one person who serves). Hence takes a lot of time for your order to arrive! Overall the food was yum!

I recently visited this restaurant and tried the Veg Schezwan, Chicken Schezwan Noodles, and Thukpa — all three dishes were absolutely delicious! The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the Schezwan spice had just the right kick. The Thukpa was warm, comforting, and full of taste. Overall, a great dining experience with quality food and quick service. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys authentic Indo-Chinese flavors!

Food was tasty! I was thinking the reviews might be fake but nope, the food is delicious and portions are good. Prices are slightly higher than others in the area but the quality is worth a couple added rupees. Staff is friendly. Only thing that was a minus was we asked for hot spicy but we didn't sweat from a hot spicy Navarathan Kurma. But it was a tasty Kurma.

This is place where you can freely buy alcohol + owner offer "special" lassi what was the scam - there wasn't anything "special" except the price. I hope you understand what is "special" lassi. This area in the heart of Hampi is alcohol free, but it you are the boss in panchayat, then you are above the law.

Friendly owners serve delicious south Indian food from this brightly colored and fun restaurant. We tried a couple of the places but this restaurant was our favorite it Hampi. Yummy breakfasts and dinners.

Food is good, service is too late. We ordered bread butter toast which is ₹70, but the craziest thing is they gave 3 pieces of bread 🍞 with half spoon 🥄 which not even worth of ₹20, fine if they include labour, electricity, everything including ₹30 is worth, no common sense in fixing price. I suggest there are many other restaurants around.. please select wisely

Located in Hampi Bazar, near Virupaksha Temple. Good food, decent service, and temple was a short walk away.

Visited this place for a breakfast during hampi visit. They serve variety of menu. We opted for tomato and onion omelette along with bread and coffee. Taste was good. Bit higher on the price but taste was good. Seating was comfortable. They have chairs and ground seating. Good place to try out in Hampi.

Went there for dinner, ordered veg fried rice & banana Nutella pancake. The taste was good, we got our order in 15-20 minutes. But while we finished eating many people who gave order with us, were still waiting for their order. We got lucky nothing else. You can visit if there are not much customers as there are not many people to take order or serve.

4 days back I visited Hampi. This was the only restaurant which has great taste & this is affordable too… me and some of my Russian friends visited here & what they also liked food so much. I tried every restaurant be it rooftop or anything else but I didn’t get taste there. Only here I felt the authentic aroma of food & taste like home. If you ever visit this place then please try their Fried Rice, Butter Paneer Masala, Alu parotha, tea, jeera rice etc. if you don’t believe then please try out other restaurant as well, you’ll know difference. I’ll give 10/10 rating for taste, ambiance, hospitality.

A nice cafe with tasty food at Hampi. They have good seating capacity and a very diverse menu. Rates are as par with other cafes at Hampi. Service was good but a bit delayed as there were not many staff. Overall a great spot to have food and escape from the scorching heat of Hampi

ChatGPT You said: Hotel stay review for Google and the owner named "Upendran" and the amazing food and ambience ChatGPT said: ChatGPT Here’s a review draft highlighting the great experience, food, and ambiance for Google and a mention for the owner, Upendran: Google Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently stayed at this wonderful hotel, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth by the staff, especially the owner, Upendran Sir, whose hospitality made all the difference. The food was exceptional—each dish was crafted with such care and flavor that it made every meal feel like a unique experience. From breakfast to dinner, everything was fresh and delicious. I highly recommend trying their signature dishes! The ambiance of the hotel added to the charm, with a blend of comfort and elegance that made it the perfect retreat. The surroundings were relaxing, and the decor made the space feel cozy yet luxurious. Thank you, Upendran Sir, for an amazing stay! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great getaway with superb service, food, and ambiance.

Tried the food here, this is expensive but food tastes bad and not relatable I mean who puts boiled egg in egg curry...

I stayed 3 nights with my family in the Sun Rise Guest House. It is a nice place in Sanapur. As the name suggest it has a beautiful site seeing of the sunrise every morning which i loved the most. The bamboo houses make you feel being a part of the nature. The owner Mr. Upendran as well as the staff members are very helpful. There are various options available for food and the taste is also good but i felt the charges were a bit high, however the nearby restaurants also charged the same with the same food options. I will recommend everyone to stay here.

Nice place to have breakfast/lunch/snacks/dinner . South and North Indian food available . Friendly and supporting staff/waiters . Rooms are also available at affordable prices . Located at walking distance from Tungabhadra River.

Surprisingly..! Open windows only with curtains (not for couples), Water problem and no hot water, hotel team is polite and helpful. They are working hard to make customers happy but not getting help from owner.

I have been there two times for dinner. The Indian food is okay but not more. The pizza wasn't good at all. Service was okay

ಸಾಧಾರಣ ಹೋಟೆಲ್ಲು. ಕಡಿಮೆ ಬೆಲೆಗೆ 2-3 ದಿನ ಇರಬೋದು. ಹಾಸಿಗಿ ಇನ್ನು ಶುಚಿಯಾಗಿಡಬೇಕು. Average place to stay at low cost. Still cleanliness has to be improved. Food is costly but.

Me and my (digital nomad) friends stayed for a few nights in low season and it was a lovely stay. The village is very small and cozy, and this guest house has the best view over the river. Ravindra and his wife are great hosts, their English is very good, and they will do everything to make your stay comfortable and nourishing. Their food is amazing, with an extensive menu from pizza to Indian food to Chinese food and more. Rooms are basic, but clean and neat. All rooms have their own private bathroom. I can recommend this place for all travelers.

Me and my friend stayed at the property last week. Good, Affordable and Clean stay and Food. The view and location of the property is Also Amazing. But plz don’t take any advice from them. They are completely mis leading for their own benefits. We had 2 awkward experience Regarding our Hippy Island Visit and Ferry Service to the Island.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our stay in Hampi was overall decent, though our booked host wasn’t available at the time (for personal reasons, which we completely understood). We had pre-booked based on glowing reviews about the host, but this trip made me realize something important — a truly memorable stay depends on two things: the property and the host. And that’s exactly where Adhi Anna from Archana Palace made all the difference. Even though we weren’t staying at his property (ours was right opposite), he welcomed us with such generosity, kindness, and genuine care that not for a single moment did we feel like we were strangers. Located in the heart of Hampi’s commercial street, Archana Palace is honestly a gem. Adhi guided us so well with insider tips and local knowledge that we didn’t even need to rely on autos — a simple rental bike was enough to explore the best of Hampi. He answered all our queries gracefully, without any hidden agenda, and with a smile that instantly made us feel comfortable. That kind of warmth is rare in today’s world. Another thing worth highlighting is his property itself. Archana Palace offers spacious rooms that are perfect for any type of traveler — whether you’re on a family trip, a couple’s getaway, or even a solo exploration. The rooms are comfortable, airy, and give you that sense of homeliness while being right in the middle of Hampi’s charm. It’s not just a place to stay, but a space to gather, unwind, and truly feel connected to the experience. What touched us most was that even though we weren’t his guests, Adhi went out of his way to ensure we had everything we needed. His hardworking nature, deep knowledge of Hampi, and genuine dedication to helping people made this trip unforgettable. 👉 For anyone planning to visit Hampi, my first and last recommendation will always be Archana Palace & Group. Beautiful properties, spacious rooms, and above all — the unmatched warmth of Adhi Anna. Thank you, Adhi Anna — you will truly be missed! 🙏

Deluxe room charged me almost 5k INR for a night . I visited with family. rooms were very small without any scope of ventilation. It is a lodge not good for family. not worth than 2k INR. Food was terrible. ordered paneer tikka masala and it was made with readymade gravy. I think all restaurants and guest house are same in hampi bazaar . only good think was river view from resturant.

Good view from the rooftop dining area. The rooms are small and has a pungent smell. The blanket smells of sweat. Lots of mosquitos around. No drinking water provided, No hand-wash soap or towels provided.

One of the most beautiful spots for a view! If you love peace and want to spend your evening soaking in the sunset, this is the perfect place to be. A big kudos to the family for being such warm and wonderful hosts.

Worst experience ever at Archana Palace and Archana Homestay, Hampi. The owner is full of attitude and talks very rudely. Rooms are extremely small and uncomfortable. Not even a bottle of water provided. Totally unprofessional and arrogant behavior. Never staying here again — complete waste of money.

Welcoming owners and staff! Clean and spacious room and toilet! Close to the main attractions, good restaurants and tuk tuks! Really fresh and well mantained! Amazing place to stay with a small gym on the roof! Also i did the tuk tuk tour in south and north Hampi and Giri (the driver) was amazing!! Totally recommended

My wife and I had an amazing experience with Rocky Guesthouse. The location is perfect, only 50m or so from the temple. The rooms were the cleanest rooms we had in India. We had hot water, good wifi, AC, a small kitchen and great staff! Rocky speaks great English and is very helpful with booking, getting around and providing recommendations. All without trying to sell you on anything. They even let us use the shower and bathroom after checkout before boarding our night bus. We would highly recommend staying here.

Best place to stay in Hampi. Fan was very quiet. You hear the noise of the road but not much. The place is extremely clean and a great value for the price. The persons managing the place were friendly and we saw that they were organizing tours, train booking,... You have also some shared area to eat (careful with the monkeys) and relax. Highly reccomend

Great guest house in Hampi Bazaar. Room was spacious and staff was always present to help out. There was some noise from outside, but the sound of our ceiling fan blocked most of it out.

Roads to reach this place are very hard to find. Parking is a problem as you have to park a vehicle 500 to 600 metres away from your rooms. Rooms are clean and well maintained, single rooms have toilets outside the room and on a sharing basis. Virupaksh Temple is only 300 meters away from the rooms.

Amazing experience at Rocky Guest House! ✨Hard to say what I loved the most. The location is perfect to visit Virupaksha Temple and the sorrounding area, the room was comfortable and the staff incredibly kind and helpful: they even let me have a shower before taking my night bus to Bangalore. I felt really well there! Namaste 🙏🏼

Me along with my sister stayed in Rocky's guest house during our Hampi trip.It was extremely comfortable. We being two women felt very safe & homely.The location of the guest house is perfect,as it is merely few steps away from the Virupaksha temple. The rooms were clean & decent; especially the bathrooms..very very clean, neat, spacious & very well maintained.Even the doormats were properly washed & kept very clean and fresh.Kudos to Rocky & team. Always smiling Rocky bai& Amma(Rocky 's mother) were add ons;They always greet you with a big bright smile and definitely guide you & help you in every aspect of the trip. Variety of food options are available nearby, which makes the guest house a great option for a comfortable stay.

clean, quiet, secluded, and yet, in the heart of the climbing hub! lovely cafe & delicious local thali if booked in advance. helpful & friendly service & vibe too. open dorm but u can request a mosquito net. the only reason i didn't give it 5 stars is the bathroom situation - needs better facilities, maintenance, basic soap!

This place has a perfect vibe you need for a break, great place to chill and rest. The host is an amazing person, he provides all the necessities, home cooked food, fresh sheets, mosquitoes net, everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Amazing family homestay! It's such a good feeling to be treated like a family member from the moment you come in to a place. Muna, Salim, Mardan, and the whole family are super welcoming and helpful, always with a smile. They have a chill space where you can enjoy the view, have a cup of tea, and hang out with good people. The upstairs rooms are so nice! Great view and even a shaded rooftop to practice yoga in. Can't wait to be back already!

Perfect place! Seema run by a warm and sweet family. The facilities and the atosphere were just what i was looking for- feel like home, meet beautiful people, best river spot in the area, great local food.

If you want to feel like home, this is the best place of Hampi. Excelent to feel the vibes of this historical place, explore around this amesome landscape or just relax while making good friends that make you feel that Sima is really special place 🩵

Best place to stay! The family is so so nice! They took care of everything we ask for and more. Really feels like home

Beautiful and quaint place. The staff is very polite and friendly. We got the home cooked food for breakfast which was easy on your pockets compared to other cafes. The stay is simple, clean and extremely budget friendly.

Nargila cafe is closed now and it's taken over by monkey paradise we went there for lunch but not satisfied in chicken thali chicken and dal was very salty and in buryani served same chicken and gravy with rice. And serve tortilla with banana slices with chocolate syrup on name of banana Honey cake😅... Recommending try some other cafes also for better taste. Also served expried colddrink

Great bungalows surrounded by big rocks. Deep in nature. Friendly and very helpfull staff.

Good food, only critique, they played the same sad emo white boy music like 7/8 times just in the time we were there. Literally the same three songs over and over again. Please save people’s ears from the torture 😂😂😂

Beautiful place 😍 food was great and service . And there is every weekend live music. room service is good . I recommend 👌 this place

Good food with lovely ambiance specially during evening Friendly service and very good choice of music

bathroom weren't clean, but over all a pleasant vibe

Good food!

This is a small joint situated right outside of virupaksha temple. They serve local meals idli, dosa and mirchi bhaji, puri bhaji. We tested idli, dose and Mirchi bhaji. Idli was soft, the chutney was good. Sambhar wasn't great. It's good for quick breakfast.

It is local small street food restaurant, awesome breakfast quality in very cheap rates, the ower is very polite and good person, open seating available, you can get loval food here. Must visit

This is not a restaurant, but a very small food joint serving tasty foods like dosa, idli and bhaji at very reasonable rates.

Great spot to get an early morning breakfast. The Masala Dosa was tasty, feels a bit more authentic than all the 'hippy cafes'.

Great food at cheap price. Nice view of the main tower too from this place...

Best idli and dosa in all of Hampi! Very cheap too!

Who discovered nice

They served me some food and were friendly, but it seemed that the place was not really operational as a restaurant anymore (mostly a homestay, it seemed). They had only a Thali available and I was the only guest. Other places like Prince food court also offer better value for money.

Nestled near Virupaksha Temple, Pushpa Homestay offers a tranquil retreat in Hampi. The warm hospitality of the hosts (Mr.Raghu and family )enhances the experience, ensuring a memorable stay. Their homemade food is a delightful culinary journey, featuring authentic flavors and traditional recipes. With comfortable accommodations and impeccable service, Pushpa Homestay is a charming haven for travelers seeking a blend of comfort and cultural immersion.

Delicious and authentic South Indian thali (the lady is from Kerala).

Tasty homemade food. Highly recommended South Indian Thali.

Good home made food by Sailaja. The food is served upstairs. We got a lot of authentic food served to us as a group. Went back twice. All vegetarian food. Suggestion -keep handwash soap. Also offer sweet as part of the food/thali

We stayed here for 2 days. Good service and friendly family.

beat view and the food is cooked with love

Tea was average but view was good.

Only here you can get tea and cigarettes, for break.

Peaceful place to enjoy your chai.

Nice buttermilk ....
