Our friends were rather happy with their room. We only ate at the hotel once and were quite disappointed. The staff was a bit annoying too - asking questions which had nothing to do with the food every five- ten minutes interrupting our meal. Would not go there again. More

I booked triple bedroom, the room was very very large than a normal room.It was and very clean newly done.. Food was good, but the breads were different colors(pink and other colors) The yard was very nice, facing the lake. They are trying the best. Internet free at the lobby. Staff was helpful. More

Stayed one night, rooms are quite old but bathroom is new. Good staff and service, great dinner, basic breakfast. The place going under renovation it's quite old so it'll probably be lovely place to stay as of next year. It's not too bad for one night stay. More

Large, clean comfortable hotel on a lake, friendly staff, good restaurant, well-located for seeing Polonnaruwa and even with a small group of archaeological ruins in walking distance. What's not to like? Well, the fourth (top) floor of the new tower section. There is no sound insulation because (presumably) it has been built on the cheap without proper ceilings. The rooms... More

They were holding a management workshop for the members and the families, which is a novel thing and definitely not a feature in any badly manged set up as... More

Without doubt this hotel is in the bet setting and has the best pool for miles around. When you arrive you will be impressed by the reception, staff and setting and there's no more welcoming sight than that pool after a long days travel. We have stayed here 3 times in 2008,9 and this year, for each time at least... More

Right next to a man made tank...the staff was... More

We stayed at this hotel for 1 night after arriving from Sigiriya and after exploring Polonnaruwa. It was not our first choice but all the other hotels we wanted to stay in Sigiriya and Dambulla were already fully booked as our trip was a rather rushed one and we had not made any bookings before we arrived at Sri Lanka....
