Hyatt Place Hampi

We went there to find peace for our pets because of Diwali cracker chaos in Pune, which indeed we found. Its a nice property where your fur babies can have fun and you can enjoy seeing them happy. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Food is amazing. (Must try : Sambar, Silver Fish, Chicken Tikka butter masala)

I am in Hayatt palace hampi cheaked in today the cheak in procedure is takeing 1 hours with very very bad service . Reception guy samiran and the lady was getting irritated with me standing and asking for rooms , very very slow and bad service , had also given my voucher for upgradation which they didn’t excepted and upgrading others pathetic service not compared to Hayatt

We stayed here for 2 nights whilst visiting the many historical sites in Hampi which are about an hour away from this hotel. Hyatt Place is located in Vidyanagar Township which is dominated by a very large JSW steel works and as a result and from time to time there will be noise from the railway line supplying the factory - not intrusive but horns and the rumble from a long train of wagons can be heard in the room – also the roads around the hotel are coated in red oxide as a result of the industrial processes Hyatt Place is modern hotel with little character – and once inside it gives you the feeling of being anywhere from its large lobby to the bedrooms themselves. Check-in was laboured as much documentation was required including our visa that had allowed us into the country. We were allocated room 137 – a king room with breakfast - at the end of corridor – because of the unusual levels in the hotel it is one floor below reception – access up and down by flights of stairs as we never found a lift or had one pointed out to us. The room looks out into quadrangle made up of a large water feature with open walkways above. It is a large room - king sized bed - lamps and bedside tables - sofa - desk and chair - flatscreen tv on top of unit enclosing fridge but at right angles to bed - corridor with wardrobe - suitcase storage with drawers underneath - bathroom compact - large walk-in shower with rainforest head - AC - Wi-Fi average – floor to ceiling windows with door that opened onto a an area in front of the water – no outside chairs Not a bad room but very much an anywhere room - floor creaked where laminate has shrunk. On the way to dinner my wife slipped off a step and landed heavily on her left ankle - immediate help from reception - water supplied and a spray - after a while we hobbled to dinner…. luckily only heavy bruising – but the lighting in that area was deceptive We ate a few meals in the dining room – food not bad and well-priced as was the beer – but something was lacking – a distinct lack of menus for the a la carte – appeared to be restricted to one per table if you could find one - service often slow and laboured despite the number of staff – plus the fact that most people were serving themselves at the buffet - tables not cleared – breakfast orders similarly slow – staff generally not engaging It was the same with our room – we returned at 3 in the afternoon only to find it not made up and it was after 4 when it was cleaned. This is a convenient hotel that I don’t think reflects the Hyatt brand – it is not India – either in design or service – I think it is a business hotel because of the nearby steelworks – so really not for the tourist like me – shame – thank you.

Located in a quiet and well maintained township of JSW steel, the hotel is a nice and clean place. Restaurant is very.good and staff are very helpful. It is an hour drive from the Hampi places of interest . So that is one thing you want to keep in mind when you make the booking.

We stayed at Hyatt Hampi in October. Overall it was an average experience. Pros 1.Rooms are very clean and well maintained. 2.Breakfast spread was amazing, kids enjoyed it on both days 3. Well maintained swimming pool and residents play area. Cons: 1. The property is an hour away from Hampi. Took more time for us to commute. 2. Staff are not very responsive unless you escalate on things. One of the rooms AC was not working, even after informing, it was not taken care. 3. In room and at restaurant we had to wait and do multiple follow ups on our orders. 4. The TV placements at rooms are terrible.

It’s a rundown property. Rooms are in poor shape. Whatever they show in the photos, don’t match with current status of the hotel. Hotel staff are good. Food, buffet breakfast and buffet dinner were also of average quality. Nothing like 5 star in this hotel.
