    Convenient location near bus station. Spacious rooms. Well-informed and accommodating staff. Great insight into Sri Lanka's history. Shared common space with monkeys. Complimentary pick-up service in a nice car with AC. Beautiful rooftop with restaurant and great views. Cozy spot for reading or yoga

    Nothing negative to say.

    This hotel is a great value for money with its affordable prices and attention to detail. The location is perfect, situated near the main road but tucked away in a quiet little street. The staff provides top-notch service and the rooms are comfortable, with a private bathroom and AC. Additionally, the breakfasts are delicious and satisfying.

    Everything was fine, nothing to complain about.

    I had a fantastic stay at this hotel in Anuradhapura. the location was perfect - it was near the main road but tucked away in a quiet little street, ensuring a peaceful environment. Secondly, the staff were absolutely wonderful and made me feel right at home. They were attentive and went out of their way to ensure I had everything I needed. Lastly, the rooms were basic but comfortable, with private bathrooms and AC. The breakfast, specifically the pancakes with banana and honey, was a highlight. I also loved seeing monkeys playing around in the trees - a unique experience!

    All was great, no improvements needed.

    The hotel's location near the old bus station made it convenient for me to get around this city. Additionally, its proximity to the main road did not compromise the peaceful environment of the hotel. The staff was very helpful and offered me transport options such as bike rentals and a ride to a nearby attraction. Finally, the room provided exemplary cleanliness and was equipped with comfortable facilities.

    Can't think of anything.

    Spent my Xmas holidays at a cozy lodge surrounded by natural beauty and amazing staff. Loved waking up to the sound of birds chirping and sipping my coffee by the lake. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the main road and bus station. The staff was super friendly and accommodating, always ready to assist and give recommendations for nearby activities. Plus, the breakfast was scrumptious and made my day!

    Although the lodge had a great overall experience, there were some shortcomings, the place could use a little extra cleaning, especially in the corners and bathroom. , the room felt a bit outdated and could use some fresh paint and a more comfortable mattress.

    Its location was ideal as it was incredibly close to the bus and train stations, which was great for my business trip in the area. the room was basic but comfortable, and the service was outstanding. the staff was very hospitable, accommodating and even arranged for us to rent bikes to tour the ancient city. the delicious home-cooked Sri Lankan food was delightful and presented beautifully.

    The lack of air conditioning in the room left us struggling to sleep on hot nights.

    They provided us with great recommendations for nearby restaurants and attractions. the location was very convenient, with easy access to transportation and situated in a nice area. We also enjoyed the delicious meals offered at the hotel.

    The cleanliness of our room was not up to par. We noticed that the linens were not fresh and the bathroom could have been cleaner.
