• Sibren (7/5): Prima verblijf voor een of twee nachten. Behulpzaam personeel. - Personeel was erg gastvrij. Hygiëne had beter gekund.
• Peggy (7/5): - Gut gelegenes Stadthotel mit sauberem Pool. Personal sehr freundlich Zimmer hatte kein Fenster
• Manon (7/5): -
• Liyanage (10/5): -
• Schiff (5/5): Voor 1 nacht te doen. - Plek Het was niet schoon en interieurs niet netjes
• Helene & Christopher (3/5): - The location: excellent. 3 mins to the beach. Balcony outside Unfriendly staff. Cold welcome. Didn't give correct visa payment information Cold shower on arrival due to bad plumbing, Kept breaking down.
• Marieke (8/5): Very good - Nice hotel, with small refreshing pool on the roof terrace. 5 minutes walk to several restaurants.
• Norah (7/5): Good location. - Good location, friendly staff, nice pool which was great to cool down in after a day of sightseeing around the city. Good value for money but with that comes a fairly basic room. The bathroom had some mould.
• Susan (8/5): Very good - Good location, small pool area, but refreshing from the heat. Downstairs room was noisy and breakfast was okay.
• Samuel (6/5): Pleasant - The pool is a little bit small but it's still nice. The location was central. The room and bed was quite small and there was no possibility to open a window in the bathroom.
• Stefano (6/5): Cosy city hotel - Clean and comfortable. The staff were helpful and friendly. We arrived quite late but the kitchen whipped us up a banquet of food within 30 minutes which was wonderful. Nothing, as it was very good value for money.
• Michelle (2/5): - The main reason i score this hotel 1 star is because the hotel manager ripped me off on a tour.. he charged me 130 euro on the basis i was the only booking… he subsequently sold a couple later that day and charged them 80 euro each… of course i asked what they paid, so i was annoyed and told him… eventually he refunded approx 25 euro… not a good experience at all… One other small but interesting point.. one breakfast i didn’t get to choose from the menu.. i was served beef curry..without a choice, from the last nights dinner menu Don’t stay here!!!
• Nicole. (10/5): Exceptional - A great hotel in a quiet area. The reception guy help you with any question you have. The rooms quiet spacy and the room we had u could access directly from the balcony to the pool. The food was very nice and fresh cooked to a reasonable price.
• Jacqueline (3/5): Poor - The receptionist helped us with our bus booking and changed our room after the first night. We booked a deluxe double room, which was advertised as 216 share foot. The room we were given was very small, about 120. The shower was a trickle and the bathroom was very tired and not clean. Overall, it's was the worst accommodation we stayed at in Sri Lanka and didn't match the photos or description on Booking.com.
• Anubhav (10/5): Stay wa brilliant and hotel staff were friendly -
• Richard (9/5): Superb -
• Elena (9/5): Superb -
• Dennis (5/5): Passable - The staff was very kind but unfortunately our room was a bit dusty. There was also a lot of mold in the bathroom.
• Mick (5/5): Dated and unaccommodating - It was a good location. The room was clean but very dated. the whole house was very dated and needed a dam good clean. The outside seating area was really nice but don’t think it had seen a mop and bucket/clean cloth in a very long time The pictures on the website must have been taken along time ago as it is very dated and needs a good clean. We stayed 2 nights and were provided with a bottle of water. Breakfast was poor with no choice at all. When we checked out, we were charged for the water I asked for on the 2nd day and also 250 rupees for a splash of milk for my tea
• Wickramasinghe (7/5): Good -
• Sonsoles_1983 (10/5): Exceptional - Good value hotel in Anuradhapura. The building was beautifully decorated with many plants, the personnel were very nice and attentive, and we really enjoyed the refreshing pool. We had a spacious family room with two double beds and private bathroom for 50 USD/night. The location is great to visit the temples. We would definitely stay here again. Everything was good.
• Kirsty (7/5): Good - The staff were very friendly especially the manager Roshan. The pool was great for cooling down after being out sightseeing. We had breakfast included and both the continental and sri lankan breakfasts were very good. We ate dinner there and the rice and curry was very tasty. The hotel feels like it has seen better days. It is a bit rundown and doesn't quite match its photos. We stayed for 3 nights and our room wasn't cleaned once during our stay.
• Mkp (1/5): Bad - During my recent stay at this place, I was pleased with the comfort of the beds, which made for a restful night's sleep. The room itself was well-maintained, and the overall ambiance was pleasant However, the dining experience was disappointing. The food did not meet expectations in terms of quality or value for money. Additionally, basic dining essentials such as utensils for eating sausage and eggs, glasses for drinking water, and knives for spreading jam and butter on bread were not provided. This lack of attention to detail significantly impacted the overall experience. I would recommend improvements in the dining service to enhance the guest experience. While the accommodations were comfortable, better service in the restaurant would make a substantial difference.
• Yasser (9/5): Superb -

• Sandun (10/5): Exceptional - One of the best place in the city Friendly staff Nice swimming pool Comfortable room Highly recommend this place
• Kolitha (7/5): Good -
• Rasika (1/5): Terribly bad experience and disappointed. - Closer to city and easy access Rooms are not cleaned well, equipment such as hot water , fans , AC etc doesn’t work, seems no maintenance at all. Full of Mosquitoes. Additionally charged for the rooms which we didn’t use, denied to remove the additional charges from the bill. Do not recommend this property for anyone to use.
• Jakub (8/5): Very good - Super service! They gave us lots of tips, hinted on how to get the local bus to Kandy. 10/10 The pool was not in the best condition. Outside the room smelled a bit strange, but overall it was good for the price and such a small town
• Janaka (6/5): friendly staff and conveniently located to visit pilgrimages within short time secured place - We did not get breakfast from there surrounding cleanliness is not up to the standards
• Johannes (8/5): - Very friendly staff
• D. (9/5): Good place to stay in Anuradhapura - ● Friendly and helpful staff. ● Adequate parking space for approximately six vehicles. ● Delicious food. ● Easily accessible roads. ● There is an additional charge of 3% for card payments.
• William (7/5): Good - Reception staff were very helpful and friendly throughout our stay. Pool area and decking was nice. Room and bathroom was a bit dated, could do with a refurb.
• Teshan (8/5): Very good - Good place. Nice staff. Near to the town. Price for the foods is too high
• Lucas (8/5): Very good -
• Dharsana (8/5): Very good -
• Nihal (4/5): Disappointing -
• Wijayawardhana (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rik (7/5): it is price-worthy - friendliness not very good sound-isolated
• Ágnes (9/5): Superb - Great hospitality, kind and flexible personnel.
• Chandana (9/5): Superb - Very friendly staff. Especially Roshan done fabulous customer service and he is very helpful and attending customer needs very quickly. Great work. Thanks Nothing
• Raquel (10/5): Lovely - The workers were very helpful, attentive and very friendly Everything was perfect!
• Zoe (8/5): Good place to stay for a couple of days. Friendly & helpful staff :) - Basic rooms, clean and very helpful friendly staff. They helped organise hiring bikes for us to cycle around the sacred city. We are in local restaurants so cannot comment on their food. Good place to stay /
• Jasmine (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely place with great staff. Bed was very comfortable too
• Georgia (6/5): Pleasant - We chose this because it was so hot in Anuradhapura and they had a good pool. The location was ok for getting around but we had to use Tuktuks because of the heat. It was very close to a great restaurant we went to for breakfast and dinner- Little Paradise. When we arrived the staff had not cleaned up the balcony/seating area from the night before- there were dishes, food and broken glass all around the tables and chairs upstairs. When we tried to order food through the hotel it was not available.
• Hasanthi (7/5): Good -
• Rohan (9/5): Value for money clean. Great food choices - Clean and value for money WI-FI wasn’t great
• Cliff (8/5): - The staff were very friendly and helpful. The service they provided was excellent. The food was very good. The rooms could be better, needing modernising. However, for the price, it's good value for money.
• John (8/5): Very good -
• Sophie (6/5): You can have much better for this price - Lots of mold in the bathroom wall and the shower curtain. One of the bed sheet was finish it was like sleeping directly on the matress lucky we had our own sheets. If they are giving you the room next to reception ask for another one because it’s noisy and you will ear the phone ring all night. WiFi is not unstable it’s just not working. The only positive is the kindness of the staff and the location.
• Francesco (8/5): Good pit stop while travelling through Sri Lanka - Quite close to the Main Street but without the noise and the chaos, so you can have a good rest. The staff always prompt to help, the receptionist sort all my movements around the city and surrounding with a trusted Tuk Tuk driver which drove me everywhere I wanted. Both extremely kind and helpful. Nice breakfast too. I think the bathroom needs to be refreshed. But other than that it was a good stay.
• Kevin (10/5): Exceptional - Great welcome at the hotel. We arrived late and had a great supper prepared for us. Our host arranged for a car to pick us up the following day to continue our magical holiday. Shame we didn't have the time to try out the lovely pool. Would be delighted to stay here again.
• Susan (7/5): Adequate facilities and good service - Nice people. Nice pool Spartan bathroom
• Angelo (9/5): Superb - We had a good diner and the manager was very friendly.
• Kirsty (10/5): Lovely hotel. - We stayed here before, 2 years ago. Friendly staff, lovely food and nice swimming pool.
• Nicholas (10/5): Exceptional - Location is central but quiet, away from main road. Reception staff well organised, friendly and responsive to my needs (an early start), and excellent english. Good bed, bathroom/wet room and cable TV (sports channels). NA
• Alain (10/5): - Roshea, our host, was super friendly and smiling. We asked to change our room from one double bed to two beds and he did with kindliness. The pool was very welcome after visiting Anuradhapura. The breakfast was excellent! 10 on 10!
• Madushan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Pieter (10/5): Exceptional - The staff of the hotel was really great, particularly the host manager. He helped us with arranging various tours, both safari and a trip to the ancient city with pick-up from the hotel. The hotel was also flexible in accomodating lunch and dinner even very early. Small but relaxing swimming pool, definitely recommend this hotel.
• Sowjeya (7/5): Good -
• Wethasingha (5/5): Passable -
• Shavimal (8/5): Very good - There were not double bed, there were two single beds, that's not comfortable for couples, other facilities ok, but a/c must be repair sometimes it drop water on bed. Overall stay was ok with price.
• Mitsunobu (6/5): アヌラーダプラのニューバスターミナルから徒歩圏内のホテル。 - ホテルの立地はアヌラーダプラの中でも静かで落ち着いた場所にあると思います。ただ少し中心部からは遠いように感じます。旧市街や駅まで歩くにはかなりかかります。部屋はフロントのすぐ隣で、何かあったらすぐに対応してしてもらえる場所にありました。実際トイレのフラッシュが壊れた時にはすぐに対応してもらいました。テレビ有り、クーラー有り、冷蔵庫なしでした。寝ている間に蚊が出て蚊に喰われました。もう少し清潔感があればいいのですが、ホテル代が安かったので仕方ないと思います。
• Diego (5/5): Passable - Pool is not bad (even though not very clean), comfortable bed. Wifi not working, the staff barely speaks English, they don’t make up the room, location is a bit apart from the main cafes/restaurants area.
• Emiliano (6/5): Pleasant -
• D (10/5): Exceptional -
• Petra (10/5): Great! - Amazing place with great and extremely helpful staff that helped us with organising transport; great breakfast; such a friendly relaxing vibe of the whole place; cold pool (highly appreciated); nice surrounding area in perfect location close to so many sights; very comfy rooms. Would 100 % recommend!
