We enjoyed staying in Shanthi Guesthouse and crossing the river each day to get to Hampi village. There are little cottages but we opted for a room with a balcony overlooking the rice paddy. Krishna, the owner is laid back and helpful. We ate at the restaurant there a number of times and found the food good. Quite a lot... More

We visited in an off-season, and were lucky to find 2 rooms with portico without reservation. Overall it was an excellent stay, very safe even for single women travelers. The food is good, and service is excellent. The owner is very helpful. Only problem, they need cash instead of card.

Was here for three nights in December 2012 and had a blast. Amazing views, great food. You can walk down the paddy files, go over the boulders and enjoy a beautiful sunset overlooking the tungabhadra. The staff is very helpful and the Resort Owner Mr. Krishna had a very interesting story to share on how the resort shaped into its... More

This place is a prime example of how to miss a great opportunity by just not being bothered. This is a great location and is ideally set up for chilling out after a day around the fascinating sights of Hampi. They blow it by not attending to the basics. The lounging area looking towards the river would be a brilliant... More

I've stayed in many budget places in my life but this is bad. The toilet is really dirty with old hair everywhere as we'll as mold and dead insects. On the other side there's hot water. It ain't difficult to keep a place decently clean is it? Anyway, from what I understood Hampi lodging ain't good anywhere as people seem... More

As others have said, the rooms are basic but clean all with mosquito nets and the staff are friendly and helpful. It is in a superb location overlooking the fields and the food is great and inexpensive. I would definitely stay there again.

Me and my office colleagues stayed at this place for 2 days during our Hampi Trip. Rooms are basic, but clean. There's a Swing (Jhula) for every room where you can relax. Food is fairly priced, taste is okay, quantity is abundant. There's free Wi-fi if you want to hook onto the network. Definitely Recommended!

I went to Hampi on a long weekend and stayed over at Shanthi going by the reco of some of friends who had been here earlier. I just loved it! We stayed in one of their Garden View cottages. The rooms as such are very basic but neat and clean. The bathroom is western type and has running hot water.... More

That definitely was the topping on the cake as far was the place was concerned for me The rooms are basic, neat n small. Each cottage has a swing bed on top and you can choose to lounge around...
