“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....

“Year Traveler”
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

“Okay for a budget stay”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2009

We stayed one night on our way on a tour to Anuradhapura and Mihintale. The Resthouse is located in the old town, but is very close to all the ruins. Through a tiny back gate you could access the lake - Tissa Wewa, which is more like a sea! An ealy morning walk is very plesant, but beware of lone men who may try to talk or accost women walkers.

The rooms and toilets are basic and an occassional toad or cockeroach is to be expected. In the evenings there are tiny flying insects which commit suicide everywhere due to crash landing into the light bulbs!

The food is good - specially Sri Lankan. The waiters are very obliging and even caught a roach who had entered our room!

It also has a pool.
