The Hyatt Place Hampi exceeded our expectations. In our country, the Hyatt Place franchise is simply a roadside extended stay hotel. This hotel is surpasses this standard and would compete with the offerings other hotels such as Hyatt Regency, though there are some rough edges. The front desk staff is very gracious at check in and tries to be helpful. The staff are from across India versus the local area and the hotel caters more to international travelers working at the nearby factory or those touring nearby Hampi versus local travelers. The staff is lacking in knowledge about the local area. As travelers visiting Hampi en route to a wedding in nearby Bellary, we would appreciated some more information about the local area. Breakfast offerings are varied and of good quality. Restaurant service though could be a little better as they take a while to take an order at dinner or to take an order for coffee/tea/juice at breakfast. One time they gave away our table at breakfast. Otherwise, this is a good option for those visiting the area.
