Getting there
Somewhat walkable
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
We stayed for 3 nights in this hotel in Aug’20. The building and front garden well maintained. The room and bathroom both were clean. They changed the towels everyday. All of these met our expectations. The only problem about this hotel and that was a very big one is the availability of food. The hotel restaurants, one veg and one non veg are not in the same building. The veg restaurant which also offers the complimentary breakfast is in another building, called Priyadarshini classic, which is in the same compound but a short walk from our hotel. The non veg restaurant is a bit closer in the garden, but still needs a walk. Room service is available, but during our 3 days stay they never received our call. So each time we had to walk down to one of these restaurants to place an order to be delivered to our room or had to have the food at the restaurant itself. The veg restaurant was always over crowded which I wanted to avoid during the corona situation. On the last night we walked down to the non veg restaurant and found it closed which we were not informed beforehand. In short, the entire system was surely a botheration, specially after a long hectic day of visiting the ruins. After sharing my worries with the reception staff, I was being supplied with a personal number of somebody, a manager, who was in a noisy place somewhere, therefore could not hear me well and after few attempts and much delay, I could convey him my order. Finally the food was being served in plastic bowls and spoons, and poor quality paper plates, no napkins. Therefore this kind of experience used to spoil our mood on each of these occasions which is not desirable during a trip.

Hotel Priyadarshini Pride at Hospet was selected based on Trip Advisor reviews. Thanks to reviewers for their honest reviews. It was almost 12 hours drive. We were eagerly looking forward to get into a comfortable room, shower, stretch and have a hot cup of tea first.
Sandeep welcomed with a smile and the Check-In formalities were completed before we could think it was over. Anjaneya the bell boy, again with a smile led us to our suite. He explained to us with regard to the TV,AC controls. Showed the nice coffee area and mini fridge and the numbers to call for the respective services.
This suite was well furnished, had spacious sitting and bed rooms, separated by a door. One toilet was attached to the sitting room and the other one with bath to the bedroom. I would certainly rate this suite high, particularly in a town like Hospet, and for the magic price through MMT. Absolutely clean and spacious.
They have another Hotel relatively old. That’s Priyadarshini Classic. One will see this hotel first on driving into the driveway.
Priyadarshini Pride is in a separate compound. Guests staying here will have to walk about 100 metres or so to the restaurant “Naivedya”, located in their older Hotel Priyadarshini classic to have complimentary breakfast. There is room service. We did use it for evening tea and dinner. Immensely satisfied with the room service. Complimentary breakfast is fixed and has about 5 items; (Pongal, vada, Masala Dosa, bisi bela bath, Rava Kesari, juice and coffee / tea). This restaurant is crowded, so you want to consider that for if you are hard pressed for time.
Check out by Pradeep was handled well. He briefed us about the hotel and future plans. Being a tourist town , did see many families, couples. Place appeared to be safe and close to Hampi. For us it was just a transit halt as part of long road trip, with the next destination about 6 hours drive.
I would certainly recommend this hotel whether for a transit halt or for a leisured stay for sightseeing at Hampi.

We directly walked into hotel without pre-booking and stayed in some "executive" room on 2nd room.
Pros: Big room, big toilet, very clean. There were 2 single beds but each approx 4 ft wide so 4 people of one family can manage. Its on a 4 lane wide road near bus stand, so easily approachable. Many restaurants nearby.
Cons: The veg restaurant of hotel was a let down. Its a Darshini sort of place that's popular among locals but we didn't like the taste.
Hotel has basement parking but if the hotel is full, they park cars one behind another. So, you should tell security guard if you are planning to drive out at odd hours.

Deceptive Practices and Unacceptable Service I recently booked Priyadarshini Pride Hotel through Agoda, only to be met with a shocking experience upon arrival. Despite prepayment for premium accommodation at Pride, the hotel staff at Priyadarshini Classic denied any knowledge of our reservation, forcing us into an older Priyadarshini Classic hotel which is priced at half the price of what we have paid. Agoda's support failed to provide useful information, leaving us stranded. This deceptive practice is inexcusable. Avoid Priyadarshini Classic and Agoda at all costs.

Service is sadly deficient. Complimentary breakfast runs out of items like fruits,fruit juice, idly,dosa …almost everything that are seldom replenished. It is the same way even with tea or coffee.Housekeeping is pathetic. Room TV does not have channels that you desire to see. Room service promises to set right shortcomings but does not deliver. Shall definitely avoid this property in future and suggest you to do likewise.

I can not believe the awful experience!!! The room had cockroaches, the tea I ordered never arrived and they have to refund me 7500/- INR as they “miscalculated”… their words but are refusing to do so. The manager Mr Prashant is awfully rude and gets nothing done. Please do not stay here and do not trust their maths for sure.

Property is well maintained, but service is extremely poor service. Even some lodges would offer much better service. Staff is adamant too. I ordered lunch thali for kids and wife at 1.07 pm but at 2.18 pm we are still waiting to be serviced. I talked to the general manager one mr Prashant but no luck. Breakfast service also was equally bad. I guess covid induced downturn is to be blamed Holidays it is heavily booked and they are under staffed

Manager conned us by booking us at the old and dirty Priyadarshini Classic despite us specifically asking for this place. He was quite rude and mean even when we had WhatsApp message proof. Despite paying extra for early check in we were given dirty room , filthy mattress not fit for humans and refused to clean it. Seeing as how the management is the same I don't see how a stay at this property would be pleasant. We shifted to Krishna Palace near by and had an enjoyable stay.

1. Good and new hotel. Construction is new and they have lush green lawn. 2. Parking is ample and it is situated in a prime location however it is 12km from hampi. Road is good for Hampi with no traffic. 3. Booking is tough as it is newly constructed and the price is also good.

Careless management - No proper response. Pathetic service - Breakfast is served very late. Only one person is running all around. Worst communication - Need to call multiple times for each and every single thing no proper internal communication. GM will switch off his phone and go on leave abruptly. Staff doesn't what bookings they have when they have.
