Are you planning a trip to the coffee land of Chikmagalur? The hill station in Karnataka is home to rugged mountains, tons of coffee plantations, and raw natural landscapes that make for a perfect getaway from your mundane city life.
Though many tourists prefer staying in homestays here, I highly recommend Hotel Aadrika, if you’re someone like me who has a phobia for creepy crawlies. Yes, rooms at coffee plantation stays often invite rodents. That’s why we chose a modern hotel for our stay in Chikmagalur.
So, how did the experience turn out? And did this hotel also have any insects? In this article, I’ll share all the helpful details you need to know about Hotel Aadrika, one of the top-rated hotels in Chikmagalur.

Best Parts About Hotel Aadrika Chikmagalur
# Proximity to taxi stand
The location of Hotel Aadrika makes it an ideal stay for tourists, as it’s situated in the main market area — right next to an auto and taxi stand. It’s also in close proximity to the shopping spots. So, when we wanted to go sightseeing, we simply had to come out of our gate and hop on to a taxi. We could also step out and explore the locality on foot to make our coffee purchases.
# Serene views
Whenever we opened our room’s curtains, we were treated to breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and their landscaped lawn below. Breakfasts were especially memorable, as we could have our morning coffee while enjoying the sight of the sun rise from the valleys through their top floor restaurant’s bay windows.
# Hygienic hotel with no insects
The most important aspect for me and many tourists is the cleanliness aspect. And Hotel Aadrika scores full points for maintaining a spick and span space with shiny surfaces that exuded minimalistic luxury at an affordable price. Luckily, I also didn’t find any creepy crawlies during my 2-day stay here, which was a huge relief for me.

However, the best parts of the room were the cleanliness and the beautiful vistas visible from the windows.
