Most of these lodges and guesthouses are listed in booking portals like makemytrip.com, tripadviser.in etc.

Hampi Village

Hampi's traditional 'guest houses' are located in Hampi village (Hampi Bazaar area), around the pericuts of the Virupaksha temple.

These guesthouses are basically mom-and-pop enterprises operated out of their homes. Some are sophisticated with TV and aircons in the rooms, the rest very basic backpacker style accommodation.

This place has character, especially the ones with the temple tower in the backdrop.

Go for it, if you are looking for basic budget accommodation with character, and not very particular about typical conveniences associated with a standard hotel. See here the list of  guest houses in  Hampi Bazaar & Kadirampura  area.

Kadirampura Village

Most of the modern style homestays are located in Kadirampura ( also called New Hampi) village. As the name says, this is a relatively new village after lot of homes offering homestays from Hampi Bazaar area was relocated.

Kadirampura is 3 km from the Sacred center ( Hampi Bazar area ) and 3 km from the Royal Center (Lotus Mahal area).

If you are looking for homestays with parking facility, relatively tidy rooms & modern baths, Kadirampura is the place.

Kadirampura lacks the spooky & rudimentary vibe of Hampi Bazaar & Virupapur Gadde guesthouses. But the village ambient and relatively modern homestays are the gains of this option.

Virupapur Gadde

This is laid back locale of Hampi, located across the river opposite to Virupaksha Temple.

Most of the 'hippy hideout' style accommodations here are now closed ( relocated to other places). If you're still looking for accommodations & restaurants with such vibes, try the thatched huts & shacks in and around the Sanapura village ( located 3km west of Virupapur Gaddi)

Hospet

Those looking for better travel conveniences, look for a good hotel in Hospet town. The town a 30min rickshaw drive (13km) from Hampi.

Consider this plan. You set out from the hotel in the morning for the excursion to Hampi sites. Return by evening after the sightseeing to the cosy comfort of the hotel bed. Repeat the same the next day. Catch the night train/bus or drive out of the town. If this is the Hampi itinerary in your mind, a hotel in Hospet town will fit the bill well.

Kamalapura

Kamalapura, about 4km south of Hampi is the sweet spot between Hampi village and Hospet town.

Sweetspot, because Kamalapura has a couple of good hotels - the KSTDC run Mayura Bhuvaneshwari and Clarks Inn with indoor swimming pool. Both are much sophisticated than the rudimentary guesthouse scene of Hampi Bazaar area.

Also Kamalapura has a few traveler type lodges and restaurants.

Kamalapura is reasonably close to the main attractions of Hampi.

While Hampi village is in the Royal Center portion of Hampi sites, Kamalapura is just a short stroll from the Royal Centre of Hampi.

Those traveling with family to explore Hampi, and looking for a better tradeoff between the rudimentary Hampi accommodations and the distant Hospet town, Kamalapura is the answer.
