However, I did notice a slight odor in the bathroom, and there was no hot water during my visit. I’m sure these are things that can be improved, and I appreciate the overall hospitality.✨️

We had a pretty good stay overall. The staff were nice and helpful, and the room was clean and comfy. The location was great—close to food spots and the pooja nagaraya . Food was decent too. Good value for the price, and we’d stay here again.

No safety deposit box; this was our second stop and most hotels didn't (or if they did it wasn't bolted down) but there was CCTV in the common areas and good locks on the doors. (Sri Lanka was much safer than our initial stay in Colombo lead us to believe !) Building work next door started 7am and was a bit noisy from the balcony. Bit of a walk to anywhere you might want to go.

Great views from the balcony of jungle, lots of birdlife Very big airy room. Staff were delightful and met us with flannels and cold drink every time we came back to the hotel. Good bathroom and toiletries.

Location is good just for a short stay as hotel doesn’t have big garden or pool and close to hotel there’s nothing to do. For short stay rice fields seen from the balconies look really good and chilling. Rooms quite good established and quite big and comfortable to stay in. Personnel are very helpful. What we didn’t liked - selection of food seemed a bit limited and somehow takes a long time to prepare it. Restaurant on top is quite worn off and really not pleasant place to have a food. Sheets and towels seemed worn off too.

Bats flying around in the rooftop terrace where dinner was served but we did not mind. Food is a bit too spicy but I mentioned at reception to prepare us no spicy food but I would also inform the staff at the rooftop just in case.

We recently stayed at Manthila Hotel in Anuradhapura and had a delightful experience. The hotel is very clean and comfortable, with spacious rooms featuring large balconies and bathrooms equipped with hot water. Upon arrival, the receptionist warmly welcomed us with a refreshing juice, setting a friendly tone for our stay. The hotel's location is quite convenient. The city center, complete with a shopping center and various shops, is only about a 10-minute tuk-tuk ride away. We also visited the sacred city of Anuradhapura, which was a 15-minute ride from the hotel. Breakfast and dinner is served at the 4th floor on the rooftop.We ordered Sri lankan breakfast that were tasty but quite slipy for us . There was some ambient noise from nearby construction activity, which we didn't mind as they stopped with working at 6pm.. Overall, the rooms were as nice and clean as shown in the pictures. I would definitely choose to stay at Manthila Hotel again on my next visit.

It was bit hard to find at night as the GPS location lead us to a wrong place. There is a sign on the road, you have to watch out for that. The lift was stuffy and humid, opted to use the stairs instead. No other apperent dislikes about our stay at this hotel.

The staff were very friendly and nice. Room was clean and nice. They had a very good buffet for dinner and breakfast. All in all everyone enjoyed the stay at this hotel. Very close to most of the attractions in Anuradhapura.

At least in our bathroom, the door didn't close. Made a mess while taking the shower. The soap given is SOOOO small. Cannot even grab it. I recommend saving money somewhere else.

Great staff. Service with smile.

My wife was severely sick and we had to cancel our plans and go back to Colombo for medication. I have discussed with the Hotel (property) for an early checkout and they were fine considering our situation. However, since I have booked this through Booking.com, need your pre-approval for early checkout. I have sent an email regarding this matter to you and also uploaded a request thorugh your web-link, but, didn't get any response. Since I have used the facility only for one day, I request to refund 2nd day charge.

Thanks for guiding us for a nice property I'm Anuradhapura.

The rooms were very spacious. The views were great. It is a great hotel. Walking distance to the main attractions. The food was delicious! They were very accommodating of our food needs. The head chef especially was very nice. We had to leave very early and they got up around 5 am and packed us breakfast. The staff in general were great. They went out of the way to help us. The two ladies especially so wonderful. There was an error in the booking we made and they went out of their way to correct it. They didn’t have to. I can’t say enough good things about them. We had a great time.
