The place itself is rather OKish. Basic, but the rooms and service reflect the price. However, the restaurant is one of the worst I have eaten at in the whole Sri Lanka, my 8 yo niece cooks better for her dolls. More

It is great hotel, and probably the best option nearby Polonnaruwa ruins. It is very easy to see that manager is closely working with his team to ensure best comfort for the guests. The restaurant offers really good food, and compared with other options - offers very good value for the money. It is clean, friendly, and overall caring (we... More

Stayed here for one night. The rooms are clean and the food is good. A very convenient place to base in to visit the ruins. More

We stayed here for 1 night (supposed to be 2) as we visited the ancient city of Polonnaruwa. The hotel is right around the corner from the bus station in the old town. When we arrived, the manager greeted us and was quite nice and showed us to our room. The room was basic, a little bit dated, but overall... More

You can contact Tissa, the Manager of Siyanco Holiday Resort, on 027 222 6868 or via siyancohr@gmail.com. I originally had booked through a guy called Adikari who I thought owned the hotel but it turns out that he's a tour guide with no connection to the hotel and he didn't pass the reservation on so DON'T BOOK VIA HIM!!

After trying another Hotel (Seruwa - not recommandable) I changed the house. The price is compared to what you get in the town really woth it. The rooms are very clean and well furnished. The staff is helping in any situation and fulfills even special food requests. It is worth staying here at least 2 nights as the lake and... More

1 night spent in this hotel not booked in advance but suggested by local people. Cleaned and large room with A/C, the staff was very friendly and they helped me to arrange a medical visit in the closest clinic. We had one of the best dinner in their restaurant and chef was so kind to illustrate the dishes and to... More

This is a simple, cheap, clean hotel which has the basics right. Nothing fancy, great showers with abundance of hot water, clean sheets, excellent air conditioning, friendly staff all at a relatively cheap price (we paid roughly $30 a night.) Compared to the other hotels around and we checked most of them before we chose Siyanco - this is a... More

Really fed up after looking at the excessive prices and poor facilities offered by the Polonnaruwa Rest House (Government run), we despaired of finding a decent place to stay at affordable prices. This hotel is not in The Lonely Planet but should be. We followed TLP's guide to The Lake View Inn (really small, and TLP's review is probably accurate!),... More
