The staff were helpful. When we complained about the sewer smell, they came and replaced a pipe off the toilet which cured the problem. We also organized a car through them and a safari to Wilpattu. The evening buffet was delicious - strangely, the breakfast not so good.

Location is superb next to the biggest lake in town. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Good service by staff. Had a best time in Anuradhapura in this hotel. Ihave been to most other hotels here since I am a frequent traveler to Anuradhapura. Comparatively one of the best in Anuradhapura. Definitely I will stick with this option.

Resort-like hotel beside a lake. Pleasant, courteous, obliging staff. Comfortable room and bed. Efficient air conditioning. Good buffet breakfast and dinner offering local and western dishes; otherwise, from a menu. Can stroll into town and to antiquities if you enjoy walking.

Bolt to bathroom door not fitting (room 30). There was a balcony but only a hard bench to sit in. No comfortable chairs inside the room. The chairs in the pool area were dirty and not in good repair.
The 20 m length swimming pool was the best we had in Sri Lanka during our 14 days here.

Checkin appeared to be a surprise to the staff and I suspect we were given a room that was not intended. Basically condition of the hotel is a little tired but not overly. Not the fault of the hotel but food places in Anuradhapura are very few and basic. Bikes are free but the have seen much better days.
Great breakfast. Great staff. Location not far from the town but you need a tuk tuk to get to the sacred city. Pool was refreshing. Lankan veg curry was deliscious.

The room was a bit basic (although we did book the cheapest option) and the bathroom dated for the price but they were clean and comfortable. Bikes were handy but need some servicing.
The staff were excellent. Attentive, responsive and extremely friendly. The pool was a welcome respite after exploring the wonderful sights of Anuradhapura. Breakfasts were good and the Sri Lankan curries were excellent. We enjoyed the location by the lake. Very quiet and restful.

Our first room was at the end of a dark hallway and had a smell of sewers. After two days they moved us to a much nicer room. If they hadn’t, it would have been awful for a five day stay! Also, the first room had only sheets on the bed, whereas the second had quilts

Hotel generally tired and in need of some modernisation.
The first bedroom was poor and had a bad nights sleep, as monkeys were on the roof all night. We moved to a better bedroom, free of charge, and was much better.

We were a little unlucky with the weather so ate inside twice and the main dining room is a little dull. But dinner outside - had it not rained- would have been a completely different experience and food was nice. The sofa’s in the reception and restaurant area are extremely uncomfortable and real back killers which was a real let down. The room could have done with another chair and small table.
Beautiful setting near the lake with a garden and a pool. Food (we had the buffet twice) was tasty. The hotel has a bar in the restaurant area. Rooms were decent size with a large bed.
