Lovely room with great bathroom - the only shower we've ever seen with built-in jacuzzi! Friendly helpful staff. The hotel collected us from and brought us back to the bus station at no charge. The restaurant is beautiful and the waiters very friendly and attentive; however the food is fairly ordinary. We wanted to visit the historical sites around Anuradhapura... More

Very nice food and an open/air terraces . Good family room with 4 large beds and moustico nets. Owner and staff very helpful. Beware of building work at that place... It didn't annoy us as we were away all day.

The hotel is slightly out of the town centre but less than 10 minutes from most of the amenities. The staff were very helpful and the hotel was quiet and the room was reasonably pleasant (with a terrace). The restaurant was quite nice and given the price of the hotel we were very satisfied. It's not a fnacy hotel but... More

The place was expanding when we arrived. In front of our room and in the outdoor restaurant, it was full of gnats. It was just a nightmare. The bed was bad, the room was not nice, not welcoming and service was average. For 4500Rps with breakfast, it's a theft.

We arrived after a very long bus ride and were welcomed by the staff. They cooked us an amazing curry, in fact the best so far in our 3 weeks in Sri Lanka. The room was very comfortable with a top of the range shower which included jets! They were knowledgeable about the area and helped us plan our trips.... More
