Hampi is just 13km away from Hospet, which offers better hotels and staying options. So if you have your own transport it makes better sense to stay in Hospet. The other option is to stay on Hippie Island across the river. But, be warned that the lodging and boarding, though cheap, is absolutely basic and you’ll have budget foreigners as neighbours - not to mention the full moon night-long rave parties. The guides also mention that the hotel owners here would rather have foreign tourists staying, but when the author went and inquired there was nothing to show that Indians were unwelcome. Shanbhag Towers International Shanbhag Circle, College Road Hospet 583 201 Ph: 08394-25910 to 17 Fax: 91-8394-25919 The rooms are large, airy and unbelievably cheap. The restaurant is across the road and serves mainly south Indian food. Try the rice plate that comes with a fiery sambhar. Rates: Rs 400 double room (without AC) and Rs 500 (AC). Extra bed will cost Rs 50.
Tipi Restaurant Near Bus Stand, Hampi 583 239 Ph: 08394-41648 Very basic hotel near the bus stand. The rooms are small but clean and the toilets are basic. Rates: Rs 100 a night. Gautham Restaurant and Cottages Hippie Island, Virupapura Gadde, North bank, Hampi Very basic cottages with an attached bathroom. Rates: Rs 100 for a cottage with breakfast included. Badami Hotel Badami Court Station Road Badami 587 201 Ph: 08357-20230 Fax: 08357-20207 By far the best hotel in Badami and the only one worth staying in. Rooms are not too large but very clean; overall ambience of the place is very inviting. Also a swimming pool and 24-hour coffee shop. Rates: Rs 1150 (AC double room) and Rs 1000 (non-AC room). Extra bed is Rs 150 extra. The rates above include a free buffet breakfast. |
