“Clean & comfortable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2011

person found this review helpful

Stayed 2 nights, probably a bit overpriced for what it is, but the rooms were clean, air con & hot water were very good. The rooms are bland, it did have a balcony & the pool very clean. Paid 4950r for twin room. Breakfast would be extra 600 but went to a nearby cafe. Reception staff are a bit standoffish, but found the waiters to be a delight & very helpful.You can walk to many sights, as we did, or get a tuk tuk very cheaply.

“worst place ever stayed”

It was two terrible days we stayed. Rooms are very basic. Wash rooms were not maintained properly. Only served buffet for dinner and breakfast. Lunch was menu. When the dishes were empty no one to fill back. No bed tea is offered. This place is not suitable for foreigners. Very bad experiance.

“Tired, grubby and difficult to enjoy”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2011

people found this review helpful

Hard to be positive but nothing much good to say about this place. Staff are OK - that is the high point. Bathroom had a dribbling shower, no hot water tap on sink and leaking toilet - I could go on but..........This was my 3rd choice in the area. Tried to get in Palm Graden - Full. Went to Tissawewa (read my review on that little star) anfd ended up here. If you cannot get into the Palm Garden dont stop in Anuradhapura - nuff said really!

if you want to spend one or more days in an incredible awfull place sorrounded by dirty crackes into blotted wall , sleeping a gray sheet...you are welcome !
in other ways they must restructure the entire building before asking 50 euros or more !
the problem is they want to sell you indian antediluvian stuff but payed with western money....

1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2010

What a ugly place to stay if u want run to waste your money choose this place. Contemptible story is hotel staff use to peep to rooms with using peeping holes if you want to protect your prestige chose another place and I think management of this place also giving support for their staff to doing this so better for seek another place
