"Stayed 4 nights - very well run hotel, efficient & friendly staff, everything works in the room (not always the case), great shower, hot water etc & very clean. Lovely gardens & beautiful pool - mostly empty by day as everyone is out looking at the ruins. Food exceptional - we chose not to eat the buffet & dinner was served promptly even though the dining room was busy. Booked a hotel transfer to/from Hubli airport - reasonable price - & special mention to Tuktuk Manju - the hotel’s own tuktuk driver who we employed for 3 days to take us to the ruins. We chose not to use a guide but Manju gave us enough information & left us to visit the sites alone, organised our visits & made sure we didn’t miss anything of importance. Note - rather than rushing through things we visited in 2/3 hour chunks, twice a day with downtime back at the pool in between times which worked well for us - 6 sessions in all. Would certainly recommend."

"A great experience , the rooms are awesome great hospitality"

"The rooms were quite clean, comfortable and spacious for 2 pax. Both the rooms which we had booked for our Hampi trip were excellent. The front office staff esp.Ms.Megha were kind, courteous and asking us if we were comfortable from the time we checked in till checkout. The breakfast was quite sumptuous and filling with a good taste. Would recommend Clarks Inn to all my friends, near and dear ones for a stay while in Hampi. Keep up the good work 👍 Seshadri G"

"Lush Green Surroundings — capturing the tropical gardens, palm canopy, and moss-covered stones Atmosphere & Ambience — the magical balance of luxury and natural authenticity Rooms & Comfort — spacious, well-appointed rooms with garden views Peace & Serenity — the forest-like silence with birdsong and nature sounds Amenities — pool, spa, dining, and heritage tour options The design uses a forest-inspired color palette (deep greens, cream, gold) with elegant Cormorant Garamond typography and subtle botanical animations to reflect the natural."

"We visited Evolve Back, Hampi in the last week of May and we had a wonderful time at the palace. The room and the amenities were very good and the service was extra-ordinary in general. The room and the property in itself was very well maintained and clean. Thank you to Ms. Charanya and the staff at the property went the extra mile to take care of our toddler and all our requests. The food at the usual dining place was good but the food at Bahmani (Deccan cuisine restaraunt) could be a bit better and could have more options. I will definitely recommend the property for anyone looking for a luxurious stay at Hampi."

"Lovely stay during my visit to Hampi at Royal orchid central Kireeti. Lovely staffs with top notch Hospitality. My Special thanks to Housekeeping Team had decorated my room for my wife's birthday."

"Nice and clean hotel. Staff service was excellent. It has a vegetarian restaurant which is also good. Stayed during the year end holidays. Easily accessed from both railway station and bus stand."

"Usually I don’t write long reviews, but this place made me want to The whole property gives royal, heritage palace vibes — super beautiful and peaceful. They’ve got both indoor & outdoor activities, and a biiig pool to chill in. I stayed in Raya & Hemakuta — both rooms were really clean, comfy, and the staff was super professional and sweet. They also have buggy service to move around the property (trust me, you’ll need it — the place is HUGE ). There’s an in-house restaurant, and mornings feel extra special with a live flute artist playing — such a calm vibe. Came here from Bangalore for a peaceful break, and Vijayashree’s team really made sure I had the best time. 10/10 would recommend if you’re looking for a royal + relaxing getaway ✨"

"First, I would like to advise people to go to this area during the monsoon or winter. It is wonderfully pleasant, and the scenery is a blaze of green on the hills. The summer months, I'm told, are unbearably hot (March - June). We stayed at Shivavilas Palace Hotel on a 3-night package to visit the Sandur and Hampi areas. I can safely say it was the best trip my wife and I have had in India, and it was mainly due to the comfort of the palace and the attentiveness of the staff at the Shivavilas Palace. The service is superlative. The Palace itself was beautifully and thoughtfully constructed in the early 1940s. It has been built for comfort (think high ceilings, spacious rooms and bathrooms, large room balcony and sitouts, aged wooden floors inside rooms and cool-looking black stone-flagged floors outside). It is not as ornate as large palaces in the north and, therefore, gives you what you are seeking: a relaxed, unthreatening atmosphere. The staff are available at your beck and call owing to its compact nature. Attention to small details in the rooms and around the palace is a strong feature of this palace; Something palace builders of the past knew, as service to the royals was of paramount importance. Little details such as strategically placed washbasin sinks, a cosy indoor bar, a Billiards table, and a beautiful verandah seating in the backyard portico, offer lovely evening get-togethers. As a compact palace, it has a dozen rooms at peak occupancy. The verandah and balcony behind each room are larger than the rooms themselves. They are nicely netted to prevent flies and mosquitoes. The indoors are optimally cooled with AC. Large trees and flower bushes adorn the palace compound. We spent a lot of time enjoying the diversity of flowers in this compound. You can hear several types of birds and peacocks in the quiet mornings Interesting memorabilia is visible (on walls, side tables, and photos), and the history of the royals is tucked into corners with numerous photographs of the area and its wildlife. The previous Maharajah (MV Ghorpade) was a celebrity photographer and author. I remembered reading his photo-documentary book "Sunlight and Shadows" from my teenage years, which now adorns one of the elephant-themed side tables in the palace. The key attraction of this palace is its beautiful gardens with trees and flower bushes, a 0.6 km walking path within its compound, a spa & gym, and a large lake behind the palace with a walking path for joggers and walkers. The palace dining rooms are clean, and the dining areas are spacious and airy (backyard), with really delicious meals served. We found their traditional (northern Karnataka) vegetarian fare excellent and didn't try the non-vegetarian dishes. You can bring your liquor and dine with it. A friendly and attentive staff, a diverse and well-appointed kitchen, an excellent morning breakfast that's included, and gorgeous surroundings make this palace hotel a highly attractive option t"
