We arrived at Shanthi after a long train journey from Hyderabad. There was the train journey, the auto rickshaw then the boat and about 100m on foot. We were knackered. At Rs.650/day we had limited expectations of the place but we did have a few of our other friends travel before who had recommended this place to us. The service... More

First thing is first: you need to see Hampi. It's a 5 star attraction comparable to Machu Pichu. Trouble is, the entire community of local merchants - including the Shanthi Guesthouse - are keenly aware of this fact. If you want to stay on the more rasta island, expect to be taken. Shanthi itself isnt bad - at least by... More

Loved this place to bits. Could have spent a week here. The hotel was fantastic, a little uniqu, loads of personality The service was great. The view over the river from the lower eating area was sooooo relaxing. Everything was layed back and relaxed but everything was there. Not 5 star luxury mind you but 3 star at its very... More

That's it, I have staying in bad places but this was the worst ever. No water in room, floor was more confortable than the bed, no aircon, the fan in the room was the blades from a jet engine and this is what it sounded like when turned on. Stunning views but hey, they are everywhere in India. We left... More

Slightly overpriced rooms however, there are alot to choose from depending on your budget. The location and the communal sitting areas are fantastic. We had a room that overlooked the rice fields, it was a great spot to unwind and it was one of the cooler rooms we looked at as it gets the breeze in the morning,the outdoor swing... More

This being our second trip to Hampi, we had set relatively modest expectations in terms of hotel facilities, ambience, etc. Shanthi guesthouse was a pleasant surprise! We had two garden landscape facing cottages and these turned out to be picture-perfect! They were well ventilated, clean, and had well fitted bathrooms. They also had huge beds with mosquito nets and were... More

I have never been treated with more disrespect than by the management of this hotel. They gave us a room that was attached to their restaurant and it was VERY noisy and unclean (disgusting shower, mold all over the room, disheveled bed). When we asked to have a different room they said they were booked and we should leave if... More

This is excellent place for peace of mind. Again i like to go. Thanks for Shanthi Guest house Management. Thanks to Krishna and Venkateshulu. The food taste and service is excellent. Treaded very well. Your Best Customer, K S Reddy B'lore

All accommodation in Hampi is simple, unless you go to Boulders which is way out of the way from anything. Shanti is on the other side of the river...the calmer side. For £10-£20 a night it is as good as you will get. The food was excellent, the staff helpful and the views simply magnificent. I'd spend the extra money... More
