Guest Reviews

• Enrico (8/5): - Located in a peaceful area. I appreciate the availability and attention of the staff, in particular Mr. Sudah, who was always present.
• Anne (8/5): Très bonne étape à Anuradhapura - Le site dans la nature, au calme. La terrasse pour le dîner et le bon petit déjeuner, l’accueil du personnel. Chambre confortable avec frigo. Une bouilloire dans la chambre serait appréciable.
• joanne (9/5): A lovely room with balcony in a quiet side street. Friendly staff, good breakfast, perfect stay -
• Sonja (10/5): Unbedingt empfehlenswert - Das London Palace ist ein wunderschön gelegenes Hotel mit grossen, schönen Zimmern, tollen Balkonen und einem unglaublich netten Hotelmanager, der von A-Z alles für seine Gäste organisiert. Das Frühstück, der Snack zwischendurch und das Abendessen waren frisch zubereitet und hervorragend im Geschmack. Eine wirklich tolle Adresse in Anuradhapura.
• Paola (10/5): I loved the birds that you could hear around singing all the time - Tha staff was extremely friendly (SUDAT!)and took care of all my needs, they booked a tuk-tuk for the the day in the archeological sight and also a car for a transfer/excursion. Contrarily to what everybody thinks the prices are correct and the same you find on PICKME. Rooms are nice and comfortable with balconies on the green I also had dinner there because I was too tired to go outside and it was more than decent. Nothing
• jeanrenault (8/5): Merci pour l'accueil et la disponibilité - Accueil super amical! Notre hôte a été très disponible et efficace pour nous trouver chauffeur et guide. Chambre et petit dejeuner corrects. Nous retiendrons surtout la très grande gentillesse de la personne qui s'est occupé de nous.
• valerie (8/5): hotel tres confortable personnel tres serviable. - Accueil particulierement chaleureux de Sudath, le manager qui s est occupé de tout.
• Joanna (8/5): An excellent choice with the kindest staff. - The staff here were lovely - incredibly warm and helpful. Our room was a bit tired but they started redecorating it on the day we left.
• sacha (7/5): Bien placé et très arrangeant. - Sudath nous a très bien accueilli et a été très arrangeant. L’hôtel est bien placé dans la ville. La chambre est simple mais efficace, avec un adaptateur pour prise. Le petit déjeuner était un peu décevant, et il y avait que très peau d’eau tiède dans la douche. La chambre est aussi assez bruyante.
• Horst (7/5): Gute Atmo. Solide. - Die Lage war prima. Viel Natur drumherum und trotzdem nah an der Stadt. Das Personal total freundlich. Das Mobiliar ist zum Teil sehr mitgenommen und sollte ersetzt werden. Genauso das Bad.
• Alessia (9/5): - L'ottima cena e l'abbondante colazione. La camera pulita e grande. Bagno da migliorare (in linea con gli standard del posto)
• Vladimir (10/5): -
• Nicola (10/5): - Struttura molto bella e curata. Camere molto ampie e pulite. Staff molto gentile...in particolare Suda è stato sempre gentile e disponibile. Consiglio vivamente questa Struttura. Si mangia anche bene Nulla
• Lydia (8/5): - Struttura accogliente, personale gentile e disponibile, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo Cena e colazione ottime Migliorabile il livello di pulizia dei bagni, però per il costo era assolutamente perfetto così
• Aleszio (8/5): -
• Pravin (10/5): -
• Franziska (4/5): - Der Hotel Manager war bemüht Die Fotos auf der Website sind absolut nicht der Realität entsprechend. Das Bad war sehr heruntergekommen und dreckig.
• Océane (10/5): - L'hôtel est très joli de l'extérieur et les chambres confortables. Nous y avons dîné et petit déjeuner, c'est très bien et bon. Le dîner est à commander 1 heure avant. Le petit déjeuner est à commander la veille. Honnêtement le meilleur wifi que l'on ait eu cela fait du bien ! Le personnel est vraiment très gentil.
• Valeria (3/5): - La cosa meravigliosa della Struttura è stata Sudat, un ragazzo meraviglioso, dal cuore gentile e sempre attento alle esigenze. Letto comodo. Posizione comoda e silenziosa. Il bagno non aveva bagnoschiuma nè shampoo. La sedia nera in camera era rotta e sporca. La colazione include caffè o the, omelette e succo, per i nostri gusti, un po’ scarsa.
• Dennis (5/5): I'm stalking on sunshine wooohooo - Klamboe bij de bedden Douche slecht, kakkerlak op badkamer, opdringerig personeel. We moesten uitleggen wat we die dag gingen doen en ze waren geïrriteerd dat we niet via hen een safari boekten. Het voelde alsof je al je plannen moest verklaren aan je ouders. Vrij stalkerig. Later kwam eigenaar in onze kamer en ging als een of andere emo helemaal uitleggen en smeken hoe blij hij wel niet was dat wij bij hem geboekt hebben. Wat the? Ga gewoon weg ofzo, ik stond in mn onderbroek om te douchen.
• Dario (10/5): Wow - Pulizia estrema , struttura silenziosa e ospitale. L’uomo alla reception, Sudath , estremamente gentile e simpatico ci ha accolto splendidamente. Super consigliato
• Ingrun (8/5): Ruhiges kleines Hotel - Schönes großes Zimmer in ruhiger Lage, sehr freundliches Personal, schöner Balkon, leckeres Essen Dusche und Waschbeckenzulauf undicht.
• Aline (8/5): Merci pour votre accueil chaleureux et bravo pour la maison soignée et au calme. - L’accueil et les réponses aux questions en amont du séjour. La possibilité de louer des vélos qui étaient mis à disposition à la réception. La flexibilité car nous avons changé nos plans pour la dernière nuit. La gentillesse des personnes tout au long de notre séjour.
• Nicole (9/5): Großartiger Service in hübscher Unterkunft - Vor allem der Service vor Ort war außergewöhnlich gut. Alle Mitarbeiter:innen waren sehr freundlich und haben sich um unsere Belange umfassend gekümmert. Vor allem Sudath hat uns Intensiv betreut und alle unsere Wünsche erfüllt: Frühstück, Transport, Organisation zu tollen. Ausflüge / Wilpattu N. P. , Mihintale, Stuparundfahrt etc. Das war deutlich mehr, als man bei gutem Service erwarten darf. Vielen Dank dafür, Sudath! Sehr empfehlenswerte Unterkunft für Anutadhapura! -
• CAYETANA (8/5): Casita encantadora en Anuradhapura - El sitio tiene mucho encanto, la habitación es estupenda y espaciosa, al igual que el baño. Tiene aire acondicionado y mosquitera. El personal, en particular Sudat, encantador y amable. Ofrecen además la opción de comer o cenar si lo necesitas. El wifi funciona bien Todo bien.
• Guest (8/5): -
• Guillermo (7/5): -
• Irene (5/5): Ottimo posto ma l'host dovrebbe limitarsi al suo lavoro e non fare il tour operator - Stanza, pulizia, colazione, pranzi e cene top. Il condizionatore non andava bene, per fortuna c'era la ventola. L'host è bravissimo a fare il suo lavoro da host, ma dovrebbe limitarsi a quello e non cercare di organizzarti (ovvero venderti) le attività da fare, soprattutto se non richiesto. In questi aspetto lo abbiamo trovato molto invadente e siamo rimasti anche alquanto insoddisfatti delle cose proposte. Sconsigliamo vivamente di andare al Willpattu National Park. Si spende un sacco di soldi per vedere poco o nulla. E ricordate che il prezzo vero dei tuk tuk è 100/120 rupie per km. Tutto il resto è extra iper margine da spillare ai turisti.
• Stephan (7/5): -
• cineval (8/5): - Très bon accueil , chambre propre avec une petite terrasse très agréable. Climatisation et ventilateur. Nous avons aussi testé le restaurant de l'hôtel qui est très bien. Petit déjeuner très bon aussi. La salle de bain était un peu vieillotte et la porte pour y accéder était un peu cassée et ne fermait pas .
• claudia (9/5): Trop bien - Gentillesse Rien
• Stephen (10/5): Great place to finish our Sri Lankan journey of a lifetime. - A bit off the main road, but not too far and a feeling of peace without a bunch of noise. Really, really great staff. Outstanding breakfasts. Very nice common areas with a fridge in room and restaurant on site as well. The view from our room’s terrace was also very nice. . A few of the light fixtures in our room seemed to be for looks rather than actual light. The room did have some artsy and tasteful elements which was nice.
• Thabitha (9/5): Great value for money! - We stayed briefly for a night. The rooms have all the facilities except for tea/ coffee making facilities. Very good price for the money. Staff were nice and friendly. Sri Lankan breakfast was really nice with the right flavors and generous portions. Would be nicer if you could make your own tea or coffee But it was available on the menu for 250/-
• Fernando Jose (9/5): - La persona que lo regenta es muy agradable y te ayuda en lo que necesites. Desayuno bueno. Relación calidad precio muy buena,lo recomiendo.
• Jack (8/5): -
• Colin (7/5): Good place to stay - Clean and very quiet. Lovely surroundings in a suburban street. Good breakfast.
• Silvia (8/5): -
• MARTINE (9/5): Thanks a lot. It has been a pleasur to stay into your hotel -
• Cristian (10/5): -
• JFO (7/5): Calme assuré, - Gentillesse du personnel Douche et sdb un peu basique
• Marthe Kobbersletten (8/5): Et hyggelig og komfortabelt opphold. Hyggelig og hjelpsomt personale😊 - Bra senger! Ingenting

• Lu (7/5): 挺便宜但比如家差…… - 还挺便宜的…… 晚饭不好吃（但便宜 空调大被子薄我感冒了……
• Carlo (7/5): -
• Elisabeth (1/5): Uitermate slechte ervaring na 3 weken genoten te hebben van goede home stays. - 1e Personeel (eigenaar) had de arrogantie om ons en gasten na ons zonder enige begroeting circa 30 min te laten wachten voordat de kamer werd toegewezen 2e toegewezen kamer had een toilet waarbij het spoelwater de badkamer weer in liep. 3e na wat gelach door eigenaresse kregen ee een kamer met schimmel toegewezen. 4e Nieuwe kamer in vervangend hotel (Milano, van zelfde eigenaar) was 100 jaar geleden misschien prachtig, maar nu erg verouderd. Voor ontbijt moest worden betaald maar had niet de kwaliteit van wat we drie weken Sri Lanka gewend waren. Ps hier was personeel wel vriendelijk!! 5e geen enkel excuus van de eigenaar: kennelijk vond hij dit de moeite niet waard. Slechte ervaring met dit hotel: voor mij zijn de home stays van een veel hogere kwaliteit al was het maar de vriendelijkheid De kamer en bovenal de vriendelijkheid en professionaliteit.
• Dupas (10/5): Le calme. - La gentillesse du staff. L'emplacement au calme. Repas et petit-déjeuner copieux.
• Katty (9/5): Cimfortabel - Het ontbijt is lekker, keuze Westers of Sri Lankan Temidden van een wijk maar stil en groen De hoofdkussens zijn oud
• Charlotte (8/5): - Personeel heel behulpzaam, goed airco. De kamer is een klein beetje oud en gedateerd
• Ray (8/5): Decent place for a short stopover (we were there 2 nights). Everything worked OK but there were some signs of lack of ma - Location good - in the quiet leafy suburbs of an otherwise busy town. Liked the balcony but shame the furniture had not been cleaned. Very helpful lad in charge. No evening meal available - chef had apparently gone home as we were the only guests on our first night.
• Ruth (8/5): Es hat uns dort gut gefallen. - Der Balkon, ruhige Lage in grüner Umgebung war toll. Dafür war man etwa 1.8 km vom Zentrum der Stadt entfernt. Es waren lediglich kleine Details ( z.B.klemmende Balkon-und WC-Türe), die mit wenig Aufwand behoben werden könnten.
• Afroditi Kar. (10/5): Lovely place, comfortable rooms and very helpful people - Lovely place, huge rooms and and the kindest people. Honestly the rooms on the second floor have such an amazing and relaxing vibe with the dark wood windows and the view over the trees. If you take a tuk-tuk it's only few minutes from the main street of the town but still in a calm street without all the traffic The staff was very nice, not only they arranged for us a safari to wilpattu which was much cheaper than what you can find online, but the guide was also a great expert and turned out to be a private tour for the two of us. They also prepared us a take away breakfast even when we had to leave at 5am.
• Christer (8/5): Great place to stay - Very nice rooms, spacious and spotless. The bathroom was big and great, with a shower cabin. The area around the home stay was calm och nice. Our room had an enjoyable balcony which fronted a nice green garden. The boy Malik helped us to arrange tuk tuk and a guide to the ancient city and to Mihintale.
• Herbert (9/5): Freundliches Personal, nette Unterkunft. - Das Frühstück war gut und ausreichend. Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Ruhige Lage.
• Louise (7/5): Hôtel classique mais confortable pour une nuit. - Les chambres sont équipées de climatisation et de moustiquaires. La décoration de l’établissement n’est pas très chaleureuse. L’emplacement n’est pas super central.
• Pierre (8/5): Très décentré car la ville s'étend sur une très grande surface. Pas de carte pour payer -
• Tayler (7/5): -
• Andreas (8/5): Hat uns gut gefallen - Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter, die uns eine Safari organisiert haben Schönes helles Zimmer Toller Balkon Sauberes und intaktes Moskitonetz Etwas unangenehmer Geruch im Bad
• Andy J (10/5): -
• Judit (10/5): - L’espai és molt agradable. L’habitació ample i neta. El tracte amb el personal va ser meravellós. El noi Imalka ens va ajudar a preparar els dies següents. Ens van recomanar el millor guia, el Pala!!! Aneu amb ell, és maquíssim!
• ANTONIO (6/5): - Ducha agua fría y no se podía pagar con tarjeta
• Paul (9/5): -
• Lindsay (9/5): - Very friendly and welcoming staff, welcoming complimentary drink to the room, good breakfast, room is very spacious and comfortable, the terrace is very cute, great to relax and an added bonus to the room. A male staff who gave us the contact of a "guide" to spend the day visiting the ancient city misguided us as he wasn't a guide but only a tuk tuk driver and knew no information.
• Danilo (10/5): Alloggio confortevole - La simpatia del ragazzo che ci ha accolto. La disponibilità dello staff nel gestire un problema di comunicazione riguardo la colazione. La camera è molto bella, ampia, in stile coloniale e pulita. Dotata di frigobar e tutte le comodità. Lontana dal centro della città anche se sappiamo che ci sia la possibilità di affittare una bici
• Amira (7/5): Bon rapport qualité/prix. Personnel très à l'écoute. - Bon rapport qualité prix. Personnel très à l'écoute.
• Katarina (9/5): Lovely peaceful guesthouse - London Palace is a peaceful guesthouse in a quiet sidestreet. The room was clean and bright, with doors opening onto a balcony with a green leafy outlook. Really good size room, with desk, dressing table, open wardrobe, ceiling fan, air con, bar fridge (so nice to come back to cold drinks after being out in the heat!!) and a very comfortable bed with mosquito net. The staff were very friendly and helpful - they arranged a lovely Tuk tuk driver called Pala for a couple of half-day trips to the Anuradhapura ancient city and Mihintale. Nice food with lots of options to choose from, for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Thanks for your hospitality! The internet was a bit patchy.
• Václav (10/5): We recommend staying 🙂👍🙂 - The accommodation was great! The owner and staff keep this property in excellent condition. Pesonal is willing to help at any time. They provided us with a good man for tours of the monuments and the city. The waiter Imalka made us admire how he coped with everything. Accommodation is close to monuments and the city. 🙂 All it’s OK
• Frans (7/5): goed - locatie
• Florent (8/5): - To recommend. True pictures. So kind staff.
• Michiel (10/5): - Super vriendelijk ontvangst en heel netjes! Prijs/kwaliteit zeer goed.
• fabrice (8/5): -
• Benjamin (9/5): - Sehr freundliche Familie, sehr bequeme Betten, grosse Zimmer mit eigenem Balkon
• Alessia (10/5): - Ein sehr tolles Hotel. Sehr familiär und an einem ruhigen, friedlichen Ort gelegen. Das Personal war äusserst freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit. Uns wurde sofort ein Tuk tuk Fahrer organisiert, der uns alle Tempel gezeigt hatte Wir wurden vom Flughafen abgeholt und nach unserem Aufenthalt an den nächsten Orr gebracht. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Zimmer sind sehr schön mit viel Platz & dinem Balkon. Alles ist sehr sauber. Das Frühstück und das Abendessen war gut. Wir empfehlen diesen Ort sehr!
• umanga (7/5): -
• Chink Kreshan (8/5): -
• Ceri (8/5): - We passed through here on a cycling adventure around this beautiful country, the staff were extremely accommodating of our situation and did everything they could to make our very short stay work well, we really appreciated their kindness.
• Sonia (9/5): - Todo en general. Tiene todo lo necesario, hasta nevera. Las vistas desde el balcón al jardín. Un lagar tranquilo. Ofrecen desayuno rico y variado. Buena atención por parte de la anfitriona. Las sábanas y almohadas estaban algo viejas con algún agujero.
• Katrine (6/5): -
• Madhawa (8/5): Fabulous breakfast and stellar staff. - Very cordial staff. The standards of facilities were not mind blowing, but good value for the money. Breakfast was amazing, especially the fish curry. The quality of amnesties like bathroom fitting and hot water could be better.
• Braguti (9/5): -
• tron (8/5): -
• Simon (9/5): - Een erg vriendelijke host, die ons ook koppelde aan een fijne gids. Een erg goede laundry service: fris en schoon. De kamer was netjes, koel en er hing een klamboo. Eigenlijk niks, maar een comfortabele loungebank was fijn geweest.
• Romana (10/5): Nice stay - Good location, nice and clean rooms, helpful staff.
• Nikoletta (6/5): - Ár érték arányban elfogadható. Kicsi volt a szoba az erkélyt nem lehetett használni sajnos.
• Elena (6/5): Sin nada a resaltar - La habitación estaba bien. Está bastante alejado de la Ancient City. El matrimonio que gestiona el hotel son encantadores, pero ella no habla nada de inglés. A nuestra llegada estaba solamente ella y la verdad que no recibimos ninguna recomendación; bastante fail! La cena la verdad no estaba muy buena (pedimos pescado y estaba bastante seco); el desayuno menos completo que otros que hemos tomado en Sri Lanka.
• James (10/5): -
