Went here for a meal in a small group one night and would recommend the experience.Very tradational Sri Lankin food was served which was of a very good standard.Wide choices of rice and various dishes layed out down the centre od the table and there was ample amounts for everybody.Staff were friendly and helpful.Great experience.

We had a nice stay here - the first room we had was clean but smelt a bit damp. We asked to move the next day and the next room was fine. The food was lovely and there was lots of it - great value full board option with a whole range of unusual sides such as baked okra, deep... More

Some previous reviews have been a bit harsh: ok, Shalini does have old furnishings, but it's clean, staff are friendly, and we thought the food was some of the best we had in Sri Lanka. The guide who works from the hotel, Rameez, gave us an excellent tour round the Anuradhapura's remarkable sights. Overall, a decent, good value place to... More

I stayed at the hotel 2 nights. I arrived late the first one, but I was still served some delicious food, really yummy and as usual in Sri Lanka, extremely veggie friendly. I had only one day to stay in the city before going back south so I decided to take the guide for the day in order to make... More

We stayed here for two nights. The room was clean but small. The food was delicious and the friendly waiter taught us how to eat with our fingers, Sri Lankan style. We had a good stay, but it was overpriced, compared to the places we stayed at in the rest of the country. They organised bikes for us to hire... More

We have spent 2 nights here. The house has a lot of charm from outside, but the rooms are very old with run-down furniture. The glass door of our room let all the noise in, plus the light from the common areas. Some other reviews mentioned this place is dirty. I found it clean but it might look dirty because... More

The staff were very friendly,hard-working and helpful.The food was good and the room was very comfortable.The hotel is close to the centre of the city and they offer a free pick-up service. The only downside was the overpriced tuk-tuk trip to Mihintale.The driver wanted 1500 rupees for a trip that costs 50 rupees return by local bus.Needless to say I... More

Flies, bugs and ants around is the first thing that struck us on the way to our room although inside it was reasonably Ok. It could be because of all the nature around but with 2 kids averse to all these things it can get a bit annoying. The family room itself was big @ SLR 5600 a night with... More
