located about 2 km from the Sacred City, was a great starting point to explore the area. Staff was incredibly friendly and pretty knowledgeable on the area, you can grab a map from the front desk that points out many of the sites as you cruise around the old city. Although it's a little steep for most backpackers and most solo travelers (3400 SR with breakfast) and the meals can be slightly pricey too it's still a great place to stay. The double room (105) was a bit small but had A/C, fan, couch, desk and wow even a T.V. There's wi-fi as well as multiple computers to use. You shouldn't really need hot water but if you do make sure to get up early before the solar heater is drained.
If your feeling a little adventurous renting a bike is by far the best way to see much of the old city, as constant road construction closes off most of the roads to vehicle traffic. The hotel is a short ride to the old city, train and bus stations and right down the road from the Nuwara Wewa (man made lake) where you can take an afternoon stroll and are bound to spot a few birds (or snakes and lizards!) Just make sure to bring your mosquito replant as the pond in the courtyard doubles as a mosquito breeding ground and they can be hellish in the evening!

A good welcome for my group of 20 and friendly service at dinner, set up for us at a long table in the garden. Possibly the best breakfast of our tour, with plain, egg and string hoppers, tasty accompanying curries and spices, and an explanation of Sri Lankan early day eating. A convenient base for the wonders of Anaradhapura, within easy reach by bike. Also close to the enormous, ancient, man-made "tank". Rooms variable. Some much improved by a massacre of the mosquitoes. Bring mosquito protection and use it!

Clean rooms, friendly staff and good location. We had a nice organised tour with Sudath: an interesting and good guide. We enjoyed our stay here.

We spent two nights here. The room was not very nice. The design is very old fashion and not good looking... without creativity. The tub was not usable, not much comfort...tons of mosquitos.... but very nice is the patio..mango trees in the garden & cute cats...the staff helped us very well but the offered Anaradhapura/Minhatale Tuk-Tuk tour is too expensive (4000 Rs.)... online room rate also too expensive (12 Euro per person B&B)... better not to book in advance.. ask for discount directly at the hotel...With a cheaper price, my rating would be better...
