The hotel lobby, restaurant and food were all pretty good but the room was basic and had some issues. It was good enough for a one night stay. I would consider this hotel a 2 or 3 star at most. The service, however, was very good.

Solid choice, great pool

A solid choice in Anuradhapura that caters to tour groups, especially. Nice staff, clean and basic rooms, with nice little balconies, many of which overlook the terrific pool. Would recommend avoiding the meh dinner buffet and order off the menu instead. Well located, and staff made a great recommendation for local driver and guide.

Everything is good, but there were two minor issues I would point out. 1.) Shower door didn't close completely. 2.) They only give one room key, which you need to plug in for lights to operate. So, there is a chance you can walk out and get locked out the door. When I pointed that out, they gave me a sperate card to plug in for the lights and so my door keys were always in my pocket. One thing I should mention more than anything, staff were super friendly and very helpful!

Overall our experience was good. We had a great server named Gihan. I needed a pen to keep score on a game I was playing. The next day when I showed up he came over with a pen.i thought that was thoughtful. Our drinks and food were served quickly. I had no complaints about the staff. The only complaints is the dining room was moved upstairs as there was a function at the main dining room. The upstairs dining room is right by the rooms and the noise went on well past 11 pm. The dinners left, but the staff started getting ready for breakfast with plates clanking and chairs being moved. I would suggest the second dinning room is moved away from the rooms.

Never again

Started off on a bad note. Don’t expect to get the room you booked online .We were given a room with two single beds instead of the double deluxe .The staff said to bad that’s all we have even though we booked in advance . The solution just push them together . Very poor reception and service. Breakfast was very below par . The shower head fell and cut my husbands foot . Would not recommend booking on line as you do not get what you book.

Friendly staff with good sri Lankan food.

The staff was so friendly and willing to help all the time. During the first day two young boys were so fast with the breakfast serving but during the second day it was damn slow. But the food was so nice and the it had the real sri lankan flavor. The room was renovated in recent time the room is in a good condition.

Lovely staff but slightly tired hotel

We booked 2 rooms for the kids and us since they did not have a triple room during our stay. The rooms were spacious and relatively clean. However the bathrooms had problems. The sink didn't work in one room so we were moved to different rooms. The sink in one of the new rooms had a similar problem but we sorted that out with hand plunging and boiling water. The staff were very nice and helpful and we felt bad asking them to sort out various problems with the remote, A/C, etc. They did sort everything out for us quite quickly. Overall a functional family-friendly hotel with a good pool, a pretty good location, nice staff and nice food. This is a mid range hotel and I would assume one of the better ones in Anuradapura.
