The staff were very friendly and helpful. The service they provided was excellent. The food was very good. The rooms could be better, needing modernising. However, for the price, it's good value for money.

You can have much better for this price
Lots of mold in the bathroom wall and the shower curtain. One of the bed sheet was finish it was like sleeping directly on the matress lucky we had our own sheets. If they are giving you the room next to reception ask for another one because it’s noisy and you will ear the phone ring all night. WiFi is not unstable it’s just not working. The only positive is the kindness of the staff and the location.

Roshea, our host, was super friendly and smiling. We asked to change our room from one double bed to two beds and he did with kindliness. The pool was very welcome after visiting Anuradhapura. The breakfast was excellent! 10 on 10!

Lovely small hotel
Small and quaint hotel with no bells and whistles, but great staff and a nice stay. Rooms are basic but OK and the hotel is certainly value for money. Surprisingly, a nice neat table cloth setting for breakfast and dinner; the nicest table setting of any on out trip including the higher star hotels.

This is a comfortable, well-priced hotel. It is basic accommodation but the room was clean and the A/C and hot water were fine. The service is friendly. I would return and recommend it to others.

Nice for resting
I never understood what happened about the cost of my booking. The person in charge just said that I did my booking in another hotel and they recently change the name there. My booking was 10USD higher than the applicable there, however, nevertheless he said was same owner, he couldnt give me back the difference. Also he was asking me to pay the booking there telling me that he didnt have the confirmation for my payment through expedia. Just when I check with my credit card, I confirmed that my payment was already done. We lost time in that thing that was not really clear for me. Additionally when we check in they give a different type of room. The good thing is that I ask about it and they give me the correct type.

Good value
Good value hotel in a decent location. Walking distance from the town and a short Tuk Tuk ride to the ancient sites. Staff was a little awkward，but the room was clean and it suits friends, families, or couples who are just looking to explore the city for a few days.

アヌラーダプラのニューバスターミナルから徒歩圏内のホテル。
ホテルの立地はアヌラーダプラの中でも静かで落ち着いた場所にあると思います。ただ少し中心部からは遠いように感じます。旧市街や駅まで歩くにはかなりかかります。部屋はフロントのすぐ隣で、何かあったらすぐに対応してしてもらえる場所にありました。実際トイレのフラッシュが壊れた時にはすぐに対応してもらいました。テレビ有り、クーラー有り、冷蔵庫なしでした。寝ている間に蚊が出て蚊に喰われました。もう少し清潔感があればいいのですが、ホテル代が安かったので仕方ないと思います。

Need to improve on hospitality and welcome.
We were basically received in silence at check-in and the hospitality did not improve from there. We were the only guests but were given the only room without a window (the other doors were open) and were told there wasn't any other possibility. Really different from every other guesthouse and experience in Sri Lanka.

Très bon hôtel
Nous avons passé 2 nuits à Anuradhapura. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la piscine pour nous rafraîchir après la visite de la ville. L'hôtel nous a loué des vélos pour la journée, même si la vieille ville était plus loin que ce que nous pensions. Le directeur nous a emmenées gratuitement en voiture, pour voir un spectacle de danses Sri lankaises, ce que nous avons beaucoup apprécié !

Fint lille hotel, på stille vej m. Super lokal mad
Vi havde 3 gode overnatninger på dette fredfyldte familiehotel. Ejeren og personalet gjorde alt hvad de kunne for at vi fik en god tid. Der var en skøn overdækket tagterrasse ved siden af den udmærkede udendørs pool. Her fik vi alle 3 aftener serveret fantastisk veltillavet Sri lankansk Rice & Curry, hver gang med nye velsmagende specialiteter. Kæmpe kredit til kokken👍 Hotellet ligger på en fredfyldt lille vej ikke langt fra New Bus terminal. Hotellet var omgivet af træer og andre smukke vækster og der var pænt og rent. Vi lejede cykler på stedet til vores dagstur ud og se alle de fantastiske templer og den smukke natur. Cyklerne var ikke nogen stor fornøjelse så tag en prøvetur inden, der findes andre der udler cykler. Værelse var ok med god seng og badeværelse men uden noget rigtigt vindue og aircon’en larmede en del. Alt i alt var vi rigtig glade for dette sted og vil gerne anbefale det til andre.

家族で2泊利用しました。オーナーが日本語が話せてとてもフレンドリー。頼めばビールを出してくれます。プールがあるので子供たち（4歳、6歳）は大喜びでした。朝食はフルーツたっぷりで美味しかったです。夜間、周辺は暗いのでなかなか外出しにくい。ホテルで食事を取る場合は早めに頼んだ方がいいです（作るのに1時間かかります）
