Everything about the property was just quaint and lovely. The room was so cute and quaint, the property was gorgeous in the middle of this lush forest. So remote, I could hear the peacocks somewhere on the property. There’s a lovely sitting area outside of the room with a Koi pond. There were chairs in the patio to just relax on. The room was so cozy and beautiful! The bathroom was massive and gorgeous. The staff were so sweet and helpful.

Accommodations were comfortable, lovely homestay in the middle of the nature. We enjoyed watching different birds from the terrace. Chaya made everything to make us feel welcome, and helped us to arrange a tuktuk tour in the sacred city and Mihintale trip for a reasonable price. Breakfast was great with lots of fresh fruits! We were there during the Sri Lanka new year and Chaya was kind to invite us into her celebration and we had the opportunity to try delicious traditional sweets. Amazing experience, highly recommend to everyone!

FAQs about hotels in Anuradhapura

What Guests Said About Anuradhapura:

10

Anuradhapura is an amazing and spiritual place.

Anuradhapura is an amazing and spiritual place. It's different from the other sites in Sri Lanka because it still attracts so many pilgrims to its religious sites. It's a good idea to dedicate one day to visiting the active pilgrimage sites and the next to the historical sites, for which you need a ticket. Remember to cover up with long trousers and sleeves and don't forget your socks, because the ground is really hot and you have to take off your shoes everywhere. If you have an extra day, you can also return to the sites at night, which is when pilgrims light candles. Make sure you've got the Pick Me app installed and look out for a tuk tuk driver called Nisha. He's absolutely amazing: great driver, kind and attentive and with good English. For dinner, the atmospheric Hotel Shalini is a good bet. The Seedevi family restaurant is another good place. If you want to have a beer, they can put you in a separate 'family' room, or you can go to the tiny 'pub' next door.

It is one of the best locations, slightly hot and humid, but if you love history and sightseeing, you cannot miss this location, further you can travel to multiple historic locations from here, we travelled to Mihinthale Temple and Mahiyangana, the drive was scenic, but Mihinthale will take your breath.

Anuradhapura, one of the world's oldest continuously...

Anuradhapura, one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities, is a treasure trove of ancient history that stretches back to the 4th century BCE. Established by King Pandukabhaya, it served as the majestic capital of Sri Lanka for over a millennium, playing a pivotal role in the island's Buddhist heritage and cultural evolution. The arrival of Buddhism in Sri Lanka, introduced by Mahinda Thera in the 3rd century BCE, marked a transformative era for Anuradhapura. This led to the creation of awe-inspiring stupas, monastic complexes, and elaborate water reservoirs that showcase the ingenuity of the time. Central to this transformation is the revered Sri Maha Bodhi tree, a sapling believed to have been taken from the very tree under which the Buddha attained enlightenment, which continues to be a powerful pilgrimage site. Anuradhapura flourished as a vibrant hub of trade, culture, and religion. Its stunning architecture, exemplified by monumental structures like the Ruwanwelisaya and the Jetavanaramaya, reflects the extraordinary vision and craftsmanship of its builders—each stone telling a story of devotion, power, and artistry. Despite facing invasions and natural calamities that eventually led to its decline in the 10th century CE, Anuradhapura's legacy endured. The capital shifted to Polonnaruwa, but Anuradhapura remained a beacon of historical significance, earning its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today, it captivates scholars and travelers alike, offering a glimpse into Sri Lanka's rich cultural lineage and inviting exploration of its ancient ruins, sacred sites, and the profound stories embedded within them. Anuradhapura is not just a city; it’s a living testament to the resilience and depth of a civilization that continues to inspire.

Excellent Stay – perfect location and staff. We had a wonderful stay at this hotel!. Nice and clean pool. Staff was friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. From check-in to check-out, the service was great. The service throughout our stay was excellent — efficient, professional, and personal. Nice swimming pool and restaurant with affordable prices. Hotel is very close to the main sites of Anuradhapura. The rooms are large with a fantastic bathroom with a great shower.

A charming, owner-managed hotel offering exceptional service. The rooms are very spacious with comfortable beds, ensuring a relaxing stay. The hotel features a swimming pool and a separate kids' pool, which is great for families. The breakfast is delightful, and I highly recommend trying their authentic Sri Lankan lunch or dinner for a truly local experience.

Extremely friendly personnel, magnificent location at the water side, which makes diner and breakfast so much more enjoyable! Rooms are well equiped and large, very good beds and shower. Swimming pool with heated water feels good after a day of temple visiting. Arrange your guide (Lalith) via the hotel. Food is delicious and fresh at very good prices.

Disappointing - What previous guests thought, 56 reviews
When we arrived at the location, they had already given our rooms to other people. They told us the reason was that we hadn't paid in advance. As a user of the Booking.com app, I never pay in advance for hotels. They scolded us and didn't show any respect to their own customers. I don't recommend a place like this.
