Huge room with a stocked fridge (very reasonable prices) and very comfortable bed. Peaceful setting with floor to ceiling windows and nice views. The whole house is very clean and we were welcomed with a cold drink. The host is very accessible and super nice! Had some great chats and he let us keep our bags there while we visited the ruins. Would recommend !

Hotel Siyathma in Polonnaruwa proved to be an excellent choice for our recent trip. The hotel's prime location made exploring the ancient city incredibly convenient. The major viewpoints were just a short distance away, allowing us ample time to immerse ourselves in the rich history and beauty of Polonnaruwa. The hospitality extended by the hotel staff was truly commendable. They were friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Their warm welcome made us feel right at home. One of the highlights of our stay was undoubtedly the delicious food served at the hotel. From breakfast to dinner, every meal was a culinary delight. The flavors were authentic and the portions were generous. It was clear that great care was taken in preparing each dish. Overall, our experience at Hotel Siyathma was exceptional. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Polonnaruwa.

We had a very comfortable stay. The place is not far from the city but nice, quiet and away from the city noise. Also the host was the most accommodating one I have ever met in Sri Lanka. He tried his best to make our stay a relaxed one.

Staff are fantastic and treated me like royalty - doing everything to make my stay happy and relaxing. They even organized transport and day trip to Sigirya for me. Lots of great local advice, beautiful property and gardens to good for Solo travellers or family. Awesome food as well - I can totally recommend this as a great place to stay - I don't want to leave, and will definitely come back!

From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The space was spotless, incredibly cozy, and thoughtfully arranged. The host went above and beyond—so kind, respectful, and genuinely welcoming. The morning breakfast was a real treat, full of flavor and perfectly prepared. Without a doubt, this was one of the most memorable and enjoyable stays we’ve ever had.

Lovely clean rooms and friendly staff who went beyond...

Lovely clean rooms and friendly staff who went beyond expectations. The environment was peaceful and calm. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious; and the pool sparkling clean and refreshing after a day out sightseeing. They even treated us to some extra treats in the evening while enjoying a drink in the dining room. Great value for money and would return again.

Sites are interesting.

Sites are interesting. We walked from the museum ticket office through the sites and out to the exit. Not difficult and you can more easily get to the sites away from the road and these were the quietest and most atmospheric.

Devi Tourist Home

Devi Tourist Home Devi s Tourist Home Fantastic stay with Doreena and her husband who were the warmest and most generous hosts. Many travellers choose to visit Polonnaruwa as a day trip from Sigiriya but we were so pleased after a long hot day at the site to stay locally at Devi ‘ s Tourist Home. The room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable with the air conditioning. We were able to take a tuk tuk to a nearby hotel on the lakeside for sunset cocktails in the most beautiful and peaceful setting.Back at Devi s she cooked us a delicious dinner of typical Sri Lankan curries ( better and more generous than a restaurant!) Breakfast was also very good with fresh coffee, fruits and eggs.After checking out, we very much enjoyed a visit to Doreena’s family craft shop where her husband demonstrated how they use natural dyes and we purchased quite unique souvenirs (wine goblets and teacups made from coconut shells-beautiful and we didn’t see anywhere else)at very reasonable prices.The shop is called Hashan Carved and Craft in Polonnaruwa.The whole experience was wonderful and all incredibly good value. Highly recommended!
