The Lake Forest Hotel

Enjoyed good food as well as their services

Top séjour dans un hôtel très sympa dans un cadre très agréable

La vue sur le lac, la propreté générale et la piscine.

Le personnel et notamment la réception est indifférente. Nous avons été réveillés par beaucoup de bruit dès 5/6 heures par l’installation du petit déjeuner à l’étage et des aboiements continus de chiens. La literie est très ferme. Cet établissement propose des chambres à prix élevés et n’est pas à la hauteur du standing présumé.

La chambre est vaste,la literie est très confortable mais les buffets au restaurant ne sont pas à la hauteur de l'établissement ni du tarif pratiqué.

Friendly staff

Nothing

Offensichtlich wurde unsere Buchung vergessen (das erste Mal über Expedia gebucht..). Als wir ankamen, dauerte es fast eine Stunde, bis wir unser Zimmer beziehen konnten. Dann war es ein offensichtliches Notzimmer mit zwei metallenen Zustellbetten - nicht das Familienzimmer mit Seeblick, das wir bestellt und bezahlt hatten. Wir wurden dann am ersten Abend mit einen Gratisessen als Ausgleich "abgespeist" - am nächsten Tag konnten wir wechseln - aber auch nur durch massive Nachfrage - von selbst wäre wohl nichts passiert. Das neue Zimmer war dann sehr schön - hätte es gleich geklappt, würde die Bewertung besser ausfallen

Size of the room, beds were large and comfortable and bathroom was well equipped.

Staff weren't very engaging, or interested. Compared to everywhere we else we stayed on our travels, they were the least engaged and helpful. Barely looked up from the desk when we arrived to check in. Didn't help with organising tours/cars as we had asked. We decided to check out a day early. The pool had only a couple of chairs around it and the tiles were leathlly slippy, thankfully our children didn't do any damage on the times they slipped but I came away with a huge bruise on my arm after being very careful but still slipping on my way into the pool. Some warnings about monkey's on the balcony would've been good - we had seen them all over Sri Lanka but they appeared on our third floor balcony, with no warning and tried to open the door. The hotel must know how persistent and local they are so really should have warned us.

Beautiful setting with spectacular views across the lake (Tissa Weva) to 5 Great Stupas of Anuradhapura (Ruwanwelisaeya, Mirisawatiya, Jethavanaramaya, Abhayagiriya and Sandahiru Saeya). The room was spacious and clean with a balcony that took in the views across the lake. Food was delicious and the staff were kind and attentive. The pool was a great place to cool off and relax. All in all a wonderful place to spend a few days in Anuradhapura, within easy reach of the Sacred City.

Nothing we didn’t like. We will definitely be coming back in the future!

Friendly staff, good breakfast, spacious clean rooms
