"The owner is very cooperative. Rooms are basic but clean. Very near to Virupaksha temple. Rooftop cafe is also good. Vibes are chill. We tried their local banana flower curry and we loved it. The owner allowed us early check-in and after our checkout he also agreed to keep our bags at his restaurant."

"Gopi Guesthouse was a wonderful experience. Before I arrived, Naresh was extremely helpful and remained so until I reached my next destination. He and his family made my stay very comfortable and heartfelt. Naresh knows all the best places and the right people to get around. I always felt safe and well looked after. I am very thankful for that. The house itself couldn’t be closer to the temples and offers a direct view of them and the river. The food is very good, with Western, Indian, and South Indian options. Altogether, I would always come back!"
