Stayed for 2 nights in this dated hotel that opened up in the 50's.. and seems that not much has changed since then. Can see that it must have been a nice place back in the day... The door to our room and the bathroom door had obvious telltale signs of room flooding at some time - A third of... More

I stayed here two nights while on an Intrepid tour of Sri Lanka. I enjoyed the pool for swimming lengths: it is a really good size and it was extra special to swim at dusk, when thousands of parakeets and cranes flew overhead me: the hotel is beside a very large and attractive man- made lake and there is a...

My parents and my sister’s family stayed at this hotel on our recent visit to Anuradhapura January 2013. It was one of the worst hotels we stayed at in terms of cleanliness. The bed linen and towels do not look clean. The mattresses and pillows were hard and dirty. Only thing that looked white and clean were the mosquito nets.... More

Stayed here for one night as it was the first Lonely Planet reviewed place we came across (It has an excellent location for the bus stand!)The room rates aren't exactly competitive and rates for the different rooms, family/twin/older/new wing etc don't seem to make much sense. Both rooms we were shown were clean, with newish bathrooms and staff were friendly... More

You can do better than this one. Opened in 1952 and not a lot has happened since. From the asbestos roof to the leaking gutters this place's days are numbered. The rooms are poor, things barely work and the mozzies will carry you away. Try somewhere else

We visited this once reputed hotel/guest house in the hope that they would provide us a typical Sri Lankan hospitality. But alas ! Even the Rooms are quite run down. Service was bad to say the least. Worse was the food. We got one dish which was so salty that my friend almost vomited on the spot. Altogether very very... More

Great venue, no ice for drinks. May seem a small point, but when one has been walking around the sights all morning, and an iced tea was keeping one going, then small insignificant points become ridiculously large matters. Overall, I would happy visit again, for the view and the venue are excellent.

Located in a ideal place much closer to nuwarawewa lake. rooms need bit updating but nice. Anuradhapura is a complex city with many junctions so bit confused to find the place but nice setup. Bar, restaurant and swimming fool area are much nice places to walk and sit around.

We were exhausted when we arrived in Anuradhapura after 2 flights and a 6 hour drive. So we weren't very demanding. There was a/c, but it was so noisy that we had to turn it off. The fans were a bit better. The beds were hard as rocks and there were no sidetables or any other amenities. The bathroom was... More
