Island Vibes Hampi

Cafe with good vibes.. absolutely loved the music and vibe. Very friendly staffs. Food was good and not expensive. Crispy chicken was too good and must try. Peanut masala, olive cheese omelette and chicken sizzler were good. Alcohol is served here, but I felt it’s bit overpriced. Over the weekend, there would be live music. If you wish, you can play guitar too😛there is enough place to park. Washrooms were clean too. Overall it’s a nice to hang out and chill.

I stayed at this bamboo wooden cottage in Hampi for 2 days, and it was a wonderful experience. The cottage itself was cozy, clean, and had a unique charm that perfectly matched the serene vibe of Hampi. The food was absolutely delicious, with a variety of options that exceeded my expectations. The staff and hosts, @TONY and @Moulali (owner) were incredibly kind, attentive, and made me feel right at home. The overall atmosphere of the place was peaceful and welcoming. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Hampi and looking for a memorable stay.

Mr Tony and his assistant, are fantastic host. I would say contact this guy for the best stay experience at the budget, suitable for all solo, friends and family. Hut stay was amazing. Food was fabulous. Hospitality class.

Not Worth the Money – Disappointing Experience Our stay was unfortunately far from what we expected, especially for a family trip. I had requested a room close to the parking area, as my father has mobility issues. The owner initially agreed, but upon arrival, we were given a room that was quite far and difficult to access due to the uneven path. This made it extremely challenging for my father. The room itself was very basic, which might have been acceptable if the pricing wasn’t so high. To add to the disappointment, there was no power backup, and the food service was painfully slow. Though the staff were generally helpful, we didn’t even get warm water for a bath, we had to use chilled water for bathing. Owner insisted to book on booking.com and when I asked about the taxes and all, he said that he will adjust that and asked to pay only 1800*2 (2 rooms), but at the time of checkout they asked to pay including taxes and this guy was not reachable on call. Since its exactly beside the road, vehicles will be passing by and its noisy. To top it off, they overcharged us for a water bottle—₹30 instead of the standard ₹20. Overall, the experience was frustrating and felt far below the value for money. I wouldn’t recommend this place for anyone looking for comfort or reliability, especially for families.

Good vibe and good service. We stayed here for 3 nights and it was great experience. It is a small cozy place and has very chill and relaxed vibe. Staff is polite and helpful. And last but not the least, you will have very playful and cute company there Simba🐶 🫶. Great place for pet lovers 😇

We had booked this stay looking at Agoda reviews. But our stay was not pleasant & value for money. Can you imagine a room taken for 2.5K/night, where you can spot rats, worms, no hot water and you have to ask for hot water buckets. Most importantly no power backup in the room. That was the worst thing. They keep using power backup for their fancy lighting of their restaurant, street but keep their guests in dark and scary. Charging bulb provided in the room just last for few mins. Garden is also not well maintained. Looks like they are just trying to run it without guests experience. This stay ruined our Hampi experience.

I ate here twice while in Hampi. The food is great and Tony is a legend. I also liked the more chilled vibes here, compared to other places in this area.

For a quick review - Rooms - 0/5 | Food - 5/5 | Service - 4/5 | Location - 2/5 Here's my detailed review - Food is great, probably one of the best in Hampi. Lot of people staying in other places in come here to eat. The place to sit and eat has a nive vibe with great music and ambience. The staff is also very friendly and accommodating - they will make the food as per your preference and will always serve with a smile. Room is pathetic 0/5 - probably one of the worst places I have stayed especially at this price- here's why. I stayed from 24-27 Dec, and paid over 10k for a double sharing room. 1. The room has no proper walls, it made of bamboo mats, hence there's insects and little frogs that come inside the room. There was quite a bit of mosquitoes too in the evening - we had to put a coil and a repellent oil to be able to stay. 2. The room lacks basic amenities - there is no basic cupboard to keep your clothes, just one bed side table with one small rack. Even the bed is not comfortable and the pillows given were so thin that is felt like sleeping without pillows. There's one small hanging mirror and few hooks on top of the mirror. There is no AC as well - we didn't mind that as it was winter, but in summer it would no be ok. 3. Bathroom is pathetic - No geyser, no bathroom mirror, no proper rack to keep your toiletries. + it was not the cleanest on and there were several small frogs inside. Hot water for bathing was given in the bucket by the staff if you ask for it. 4. No room service - we stayed for 3 days in which there was no room service given - there was no cleaning of bathroom or even basic dusting of the room or the bed. 5. No drinking water provided, your have to buy - everywhere the property provides at least 1 water bottle and then if you need more you would have to buy. Here even that was not given - you have to buy water bottles - and there is no provision of getting water in a jug or something like that. 6. Lack for power backup - during our stay there was power cut 2 times, once when we arrived, and the 2nd time on one of the nights, both times, there was no power back up given though there was a generator right there but it was not started - and we waited for the electricity to come back. Location - it would take you about 40-45mins to drive to the main area in Hampi. If I am visiting Hampi again i will definitely not stay here but may surely go back for the food.
