Nine Arch Araliya Homestay

It was a little homestay right near the 9 Arch Bridge. A little difficult to find but you will enjoy the find. The Homestay owner is a sweet lady who is very accommodating. She prepared the most sumptuous english meal I have had in Sri lanka. A blissful sleep is guaranteed out there. We even meet Dev, the person who manages the nearby property and had a long conversation with him about everything out there. I truly recommend it to everyone wanting to go there.

Great location for views of the 9 arch bridge with less than 4 mins walk to the bridge. Night time is serene and tranquil with fireflies and stars lighting up the night sky. The room was spotless with big comfortable beds and a decent size bathroom. The lady owner was heart warmingly welcoming and help was there if you needed. It felt very homely.

Great view, amazing breakfast, friendly family hosting, close to the bridge, in the forest and not in the city.

A little loud during busy days, complicated access with our own tuktuk, second bed in the bedroom useless for us.

Amazingly amazing! The location is superb! Walking distance to Nine Arches Bridge, Little Adam & Ella Town!

They don't accept cards. Make sure to bring enough cash to pay for the room

I loved the authenticity of the place, the room was big, plenty of space to sleep, plugs by the bedside with adapters, big bathroom with hot water. The host was amazing. Always a big smile, making you feel like home, she cooked dinner and breakfast for us, soon delicious! We ate on the terrace, with the view of the Nine Arch Bridge. Great value for the money! 😍

The road to the place is a bit abrupt, but we managed not no fall 😅

Amazing view on the 9 Arch bridge. Nice balcony to observe a bridge having a breakfast. You will literally live in the jungle, surrounded by the wild nature as monkeys and squirrels. Only 5 minutes walking to the bridge. Very nice and helpful host. Breakfast simple, but good (homemade in Lankan style). Be ready that you cannot reach the place by car. You need to take a tuk-tuk from the main road. But it is not a problem just to walk 10 min, if you don't have heavy lagguage. After all, good for its money. Ok for one or two nights.

It was quite cold at night. The blanket could be warmer. The shelf in the bathroom and a glass for tooth brush was dirty (but everything else was very clean). The half of the room takes up second large bed. We used it for our stuff as there was no wardrobe.
