Stayed 2 nights in this hotel. Average hotel buffet not too clever so went for a la carte the 2nd night. Rooms a bit damp and maybe needs upgrading. They also advised bar opens till 12am when in fact shuts at 10pm as the staff obviously wanted to get away early. Would not stay in this hotel again if travelling... More

Our driver took us here on our first day in Sri Lanka and what a major disapointment it turned out to be. The place is in the middle of nowhere, it seems, the property is grimmy and the dinning room definitely unwelcoming. The buffet looked so 'tiered' we went for the a la carte, only to see our waiter serving... More

Hotel located away from centre of Anuradhapura but easy access by car or bike. Lovely garden and swimming pool. Very quiet setting close to a beautiful lake. Restaurant served excellent breakfast. Room was comfortable but damp as were other parts of the hotel.

This is a hotel that has been around for a long time. Now with the season bringing more custom I expected it to have upgraded itself. Unfortunately its lacking in many basic things like the legendary Sri Lankan smile by staff. Also room TV without connection, Very slow room service and absolutely hopeless morning tea, a commode that is not... More

Hotel does not have prominent or clear sign boards at the main point of entry. It is a small unlit sign board facing only one direction. With the Anuradhapura townroads being so confusing, one should continue asking for directions if you are a first time visitor. We a group of 4 booked into the new wing. The rooms were large,... More

Stayed in this hotel while on a tour of Sri Lanka. Room was large and clean, but lacked any lighting in one half of the room - where the luggage shelves were, and the bedside lights were inadequate to read by. Grounds were beautiful and the pool was clean. The American 70s music at breakfast was a bit much though.

Having visited the historic Anuradhapura to attend a wedding , I was pleasantly surprised with the roads via Puttlam. Mind the Cops with Speed guns . but they are nice as they are just doing their job. City of Anuradhapura has been completely done up though there is some work to be completed still . As we had to do... More

Arrived in town at night without a booking so we ended up here. Way overpriced, for an okay room, not very clean bathroom, and hot water not working. Hotel doesn't have wifi but they let us use their office computer briefly. Dinner was scandalously overpriced and dull, and the dining hall depressing. Nice garden.

The property should be renamed The Mosquito Hotel. The place is overrun by them. Not just in the public areas - the lobby is infested - but the rooms are full of the creatures, making sleep virtually impossible. The bathrooms are outside the room itself, so even if you somehow get rid of all the pests in the room, everytime... More
