On 29th March 2012 I stayed in this hotel with my 90 year old mother as we had to attend a religious ceremony by 0430 the following morning. I ordered a wake up call and I was awakened at 0300 hrs when I told them we had to leave by 0400 hrs. At 0400 hrs we could not get the... More

This hotel is trying very hard to come up to Western standards, until very recently it was in the 'red zone' and inaccessible to visitors. I believe the only visitors allowed there were the Buddhist pilgims going to the sacred Bodhi tree. Whilst the service wasn't initally great, as soon as we pointed out that we liked a space between... More

First things first; this is a 3 star budget hotel - don't expect total luxury! I found the hotel to be very clean and comfortable. Our room was a really nice size, with a decent bathroom and powerful shower. The built-in washing line was really handy too! The bed was really hard, not everyones cup of tea, but it was... More

Single sheets on a double bed. Dinner buffet food & coffee cold & no milk. Staff friendly but insufficiently trained, very... More

Good budget transit hotel to anuradhapura sacred city and manner More

This is a newish and comfortable hotel with helpful staff and a restaurant that went out of its way to feed my vegan partner well. Be aware though that while it appears to be near the historic city of Anuradhapura as the crow flies, it is in fact across a lake from it. This gives a very pleasant and peaceful... More
