Clark's inn Hampi - Hotel in Kamalapur - Ballari, India

Though the room was smaller than expected, it was comfortable and clean. The bathroom was also nice clean and functional. Location is bang opposite the Archaeological Museum where one can buy day tickets for the Museum and includes entry to two other sights that require tickets for entry. We had space for parking outside the property gate but guarded day and night by the Hotel security. The breakfast buffet was wholesome and tasty and so were the lunch and dinner options. Most of all, I liked the young, eager and enthusiastic staff who did a great job of making our stay memorable and comfortable.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel, and I must say it was a good experience. The staff were incredibly supportive and quick to respond to any requests or questions, making me feel truly valued as a guest. The location of the hotel, right in the center of the city, made navigation a breeze, allowing me to explore the city with ease. Hotel team assisted with our last minute requests. The food at the hotel's restaurant was not only delicious but also served with great attention to detail. It was evident that the culinary team takes pride in their work, and the flavors were exceptional. However, there were a couple of minor inconveniences during my stay. First, I was unable to use my AMEX card due to a change in their banking system, which was a bit inconvenient. Additionally, there were issues with the TV in my room that were not resolved despite multiple requests to the staff. Overall, despite these minor setbacks, my stay at the hotel was enjoyable. The positive aspects, including the excellent service, central location, and delicious food, certainly outweighed the negatives. I would consider staying here again in the future and hope that the minor issues I encountered will be addressed. Thank you so much for having us.

Pros 1. Location (Big +) 2. Pleasant check-in/check-out process 3. Good service at the restaurant Cons 1. Bathroom - Water everywhere once you take a shower. The faucets do not work properly. 2. TV channels - not a good bouquet 2. Breakfast spread can be improved If you are looking for a place to retire after a hectic visit (under the heat), closer to all the attractions, this is a good option. Hence giving a 4*

Location wise you will not find a better place than this in Hampi. All attractions are close by. That's where the praise ends. Rooms are advertised having TV and Fridge. My fridge was missing and TV was not working. When I complained about the TV, I was told I had not informed them about wanting a working TV. Restaurant food quality is good but most of the selections we asked for (Sorry. We are veg) we're not available. Including Veg Sandwich. Menu cards have either same page put in twice or some of them are Xerox versions. Utterly dissatisfying. Bathroom has been designed in such a way that most of the water flows all over and the floor becomes wet. Need to be careful. Only reason I would recommend this place is due to its location (central, very close from all attractions) and the service staff at the counter and the restaurant. They have to put up with irate customers but do it patiently and serve whatever they have very well. Tip them well.

Excellent location, rooms are good with necessary facilities. However the pool water is not cleaned regularly. More problematic is the restaurant service - specially non veg dishes all taste the same. The breakfast spread is good, but replenishment of items takes a whole lot of time. Also, they r not much co operative in case you have some issues which need solving.

I stayed recently here. I felt it's genuinely overrated. Rooms were good. But toilet fittings were old and rusty. Running hot water was hardly hot. We needed an extra bedding and the bed sheet was torn. When we requested for another we got a very unprofessional response from the room service person. Frequent power cuts was another hiccup but they have a generator backup. Food was good in taste but breakfast menu was limited and half the times we had to wait for refills. Presentation is too much to ask for. The worst experience was with the reception staff. We were out the whole day but the rooms were not done when we returned. To this the response from the reception staff (Sushmita) was not just unprofessional but also very rude. All in all, the experience was not bad but definitely not very memorable. They really need to come up to the par with new gen hotels. At least the basics need to be fixed. Location is good.

During my stay here, it was a pleasant stay, neat and clean room with hot water available. The main points are for the location, extremely convenient to go to all the major spots. Secondly, not many food options, considering that their in house restaurant is good. I was very tired and wanted simple food, their dal khichadi was perfect and tasty.

1. Parking for few cars in front 2. Nice interiors because of transparent floor with water below. 3. Room somewhat small for the price paid. 4. Complementary breakfast was good. 5. Service was delayed or had to remind multiple times. 6. Hot water
