WelcomHeritage Shivavilas Palace, HAMPI

Beautiful location in the private park, everything as in 1940s, bathroom was well renovated, very good bed, very clean, park was immaculately maintained as well as the house, very nice restaurant, very quiet at night. Very nice and helpful staff.

Locks on the outside of each room door - surely historic, but room can be locked from the outside with no way to escape the room in case of emergency as the windows have iron rods as well.

Fabulous staff - attentive and helpful. Superb driver/guide who was extremely knowledgeable.

It’s a heritage hotel and could enjoy some renovations especially the bathroom.

The Manager was extremely humble & hands on whenever we needed anything. He showed us the palace & made sure our stay was comfortable. The food was excellent & served hot and as per our liking. We are in love with this place & will surely visit again.

Breakfast was very tasty. Homely. Services excellent. Fresh fruits, nicely cooked food, the Ginger Tea smoothened our throat. Room service was very quick. The quality of food is awesome. Nice museum. Highly knowledgeable and helpful Manager Mr. Joseph. Very efficient Front Desk Manager Ms. Tejaswini. The entire staff are affable. Nicely kept garden. Variety of Birds sighted. It is a good place for Botanists to learn more about exotic and local species. The proud thing is the State Tree of Karnataka, Sandalwood Trees - santalum album - are naturally grown. An idyllic place for stay and enjoy.

Nothing adverse noticed. Everything is spick and span.

The location is like none other, an actual royal palace and it shows. Lovingly preserved. The rooms are superb, the pool is large and clean, the staff are courteous and efficient.

The dining hall has a TV which increases the noise level in a way that hotels at this level should not have. If they want a sports bar, they can have that in the bar, not in the dining restaurant.

The palace, food, vintage cars and service.
