Hospet is the long-distance bus terminus for people wishing to visit the Hampi temples.
My suggestion
There are frequent shuttle buses from Hospet to Hampi . Don't listen to rickshaw drivers telling you they're the only way to get there.

Hospet is a small, charmless city with nothing at all of interest to offer. It lies 15 km from Hampi, or just 20 minutes by bus or rickshaw.
My suggestion
Unless you're waiting to catch a bus or you happen to be there at night, there is no reason to spend any amount of time in Hospet. Hampi, by complete contrast, is so beautiful that staying over in accommodation there is absolutely an option.
