The Heritage Hotel
"It was our second stay at Heritage hotel in Anuradhapura and management did not disappoint us again, on the contrary. Staff is again friendly and service minded, especially for one of our disabled companions. The scenery from the hotel is magic: the beautiful view of Thissa Wewa with all the 2000 year old large Dagoba’s on the horizon. Breakfast and dinner are buffets and have a good selection for everyone from Western to Sri Lankan food. And is it not there and you ask it, than they will bring you it if it is in the kitchen: like my tasteful mango ice cream. Rooms are clean and wide with airco. The bathroom has a shower."Show more

Ulagalla by Uga Escape
"We stayed here for 2 days as part of our honeymoon whist sight seeing in the cultural triangle. It is well positioned for all the major sights in the area. It is difficult to find and we were glad our driver knew where he was going. The lack of signs added to the mystique of the resort. We really enjoyed being mixed in with the wildlife with wild peacocks visiting our balcony. The plunge pool was a delight and getting around the resort by the free bikes provided was real fun and great way of burning off those extra calories consumed. I would recommend the special dining experience, we had ours on the observation tower over a beautiful lake, sipping a G&T as the light faded and then tucked into a personal BBQ.
The portions of food are very generous. The staff and particularly the managers are superb and were very keen to help make your experience special whilst at the same time giving plenty of privacy.
The food, wine and extra's are all very reasonably priced for the western traveller.
Most of all this hotel provides an authentic Sri Lankan experience in a luxury setting, something I have never seen in Sri Lanka. Congratulations to the Ulagalla Resort. We will definitely be returning."Show more

The Sanctuary at Tissawewa-Colonial Hotel

Saji-Sami Hotel
"The villa in the garden is vast and beautifully appointed, lovely design and very comfortable. There's a mini-bar, A/C, tea & coffee making facilities, TV and one of the best mosquito nets we came across in three weeks in Sri Lanka. Large king size bed and very comfortable indeed, plus a range of pillows to suit most people. The place is immaculate. There is an outside bath with a view of the jungle and a wrap-around terrace with a view across the paddy fields of the Dagoba. The ensuite shower room has good water pressure; the shower plumbing raises a smile, but it all works well.
Ranji has a huge and generous personality, he is extremely helpful and really goes the extra mile. We loved staying here and Mihintale is a bustling village with a worthwhile climb to the top of the Dagoba for a spectacular view. Anuradhapura is only 13km away and I can't imagine you would find somewhere as quiet and elegant to stay for this price."Show more

Gamodh Citadel Resort
"We stayed here for two nights Although it took a while for our room to be ready we were very pleased with it. The reception staff were most efficient ad rented us two bikes and directed us to the ancient city and were also very helpful with a tuktuk and getting off the local bus at the best stop. The food we had when we chose Sri Lankan was very nice. Maybe the noodles dish we had on the first night was not the best choice for us. Breakfast was a bit weird if you chose western - don' think back is the best in Sri Lanka - fruit and pancakes would have been nicer, but the Sri Lankan breakfast was very good. Pool was great. Drinks menu was good and our waiter was very nice. Would recommend this place"Show more

"The hotel is a bit far from the new city however the property is new and the facilities are new and comfortable. I hope the management will make sure the standards of cleanliness is maintained over time. It seems that the management is taking a proactive role in responding to customer comments and making the necessary changes to the facilities or the services offered. That's very encouraging. We never had any food from the hotel. If you can tolerate spicy Sri Lankan food, visit places such as casserole restaurant, Mango mango and few other new establishments. Even though we arrived well before the check in time, they offered us a room. We'll book this place again."Show more

The owner is a fantastic resource to help plan any excursions and provides a map of the temple area and walks you through the city area. He can also recommend a great tour guide.

Little Paradise Tourist Guest House and Holiday Home
"This B&B/Guesthouse will give you an authentic taste of life in Anuradhapura that is difficult to get elsewhere in town. Like all B&B's the bells and whistles are somewhat spartan. There is a supermarket near by to stock up when needed but water is the main 'must have' that is always on hand at the Guesthouse for purchase which is handy on the hot days. The location is in a quiet neighbourhood. The staff and/or residents are always around so your belongs will be secure in your locked room. The location is only 10 minutes or so from the Ancient City. It is about 1 hour from Walpattu National Park the other main attraction in the area. The food is excellent local Sri Lankan dishes. Servings are very generous and will get you through the day. The curry and rice and the Sri Lankan pancakes were some of the best meals I had in the country. This is important because it is very hard to eat local food in Anuradhapura as boring hotel buffets are the main tourist food venues in town so if you want to eat healthy local food this is a great option at very good prices. Last, the lush garden is filled with birds and playful squirrels to immerse yourself in during the morning over a coffee or at the end of a hot day with a beer on the balcony. The only negative is that the wi-fi can be a bit patchy but.... This is Sri Lanka! It is good value - I found Sri Lanka surprisingly expensive to travel through. Great quality budget accomodation was harder to find than I expected. You really could not go wrong here."Show more

Ceylan lodge
"Ceylan Lodge is just north of Anuradhapura, within a block of similar hostels. It's still under construction though ready to go as is - we had no nuisance. Compared to most places we've been in Sri Lanka, it's very clean with good quality beds. We only had a 1 night break there and CL was perfect for this.
Note that the surroundings are still pretty rough (loads of garbage) so you probably dont want to spend 2 weeks there just yet. Well, the whole Anuradhapura area could be easily skipped."Show more

The general cleanliness of the hotel and the rooms are not below to any 3-4 star hotel in Sri Lanka. It would be difficult to find a better hotel in Anuradhapura for this price.Thank you very much Sunil, the owner, his wife and their son Gihan and all the working staff for making our stay a very pleasant one!"Show more

Big Game Camp - Wilpattu
"Our stay here was the best of all the (9) places we stayed in Sri Lanka. The accommodation itself is a tent of course but this is definitely Glamping! There is an attached bathroom, electricity (at night), porch and lots of little touches that make your stay comfortable.
The staff were friendly, extremely knowledgeable about the surrounding nature and unerring in their excellent service which even extended to the holding of umbrellas over us when there was a little shower during our
Al fresco lunch!
We ate Lunch, Dinner and Breakfast there and the food was among the best we had during our holiday.
We did the safari and had a nature walk with them during our stay and these were also excellent and the best that we experienced during our stay in Sri Lanka as both the naturalist and the driver were very skilled despite their youth.
If you are undecided because of the price, don't be, our stay was worth every penny."Show more

"Lievi's Tourist Accomodation is one of the accomodations where I felt the most comfortable in Sri Lanka.
The loaction ist really good: close enough to the city (even when there barely something to see there) and you can rent bikes for a good price to go to the ancient cities, which takes with a bike under 10 minutes. I personally recommend visiting the ancient cities at least with a bike!
The Accomodation is also really nice, with a beautiful, quiet garden in front of all rooms, perfect to relax.
The rooms are built in a way, that on one extreme there is a window facing the garden and on the other the bathroom. I guess all rooms have a window! The rooms are also really clean, have a mosquito net and there is warm water in the bathroom.
And Lievi ist just a wonderful person. We got a welcome drink when we arrived, and we talked with him about our possibilities for our trip. He gave us lots of advice and information, which was very helpful! If you are lucky, you can even have a chat with him in the night and get some insider information about Sri Lanka!
Taking the place into account, this becomes probably one of the best places to be in Anuradhapura. I would always recommend it!"Show more

First of all the room are really comfy and clean, many King size bed in the dorm but really suitable for couples because of a second room with a door. There is a Nice bathroom and a common kitchen for those who want to Cook, water is provided freely. Then it's well located 1 min walk from the new bus station, near all shops (restaurant, supermarket, alcohol seller) and close to a little lake with a lot of wildlife. And then come the Best part, the owner Thilina ! He's so Nice, speak a very good english and is here to give you advices about his town and country, apart from touristy stuff he's a kind hearted man with whom we had a lot of interesting talks about many different things.

Tropical Retreat is one of hidden away, small boutique kind of hotels. Tucked away from the sea and surrounded by greenery it has a really nice feel to it. The manager Malit is a really friendly and helpful chap. The service at the place is prompt. The rooms are very comfortable (the WiFi in the rooms could be better to be honest). Breakfast is good. Overall I like this place and will recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind an option that isn't on the beach."Show more

The Nature Park
"The Nature Park Hotel is a scam. It is a house with three rooms. We arrived on the day of booking (27 April 2018) in the late evening,to find that there is no room for us. The rude hotel manageress sent us to a different shabby hotel where the room was smelly and no sanitation facilities with a promise that she will organize a better room for next day. As we were tired after long day travel, we just put up for one night with discomfort. Next day we took our trip around and arrived to The Nature Park to find still she could not find a room. She sent us to two nearby hotels, where they tried to charge us double the cost. We went to the Tourist Information center to complain about the situation. We were informed that they got several such complains about the Nature Park. It appeared that the Nature park just take booking and when clients arrive she tries to find rooms for low rates and get her cut. I strongly advise AGODA to remove this hotel form its web site."Show more

We watched the sun set from dagoba, and the views from the rock behind are stunning! Well worth visiting! The next day Lalit drove us round all the good bits of the ruins, and we had a great local lunch (coconut and banana rotti). The ruins are pretty spread out so a tuktuk is a better option than bikes.
Swasthi itself was great, clean rooms, AC, friendly helpful staff, and good value. Maybe give the massage place a miss though. We all went for a full body massage which was fine, but the place felt a bit seedy."Show more

Eco Hotel Black & White - Anuradhapura
"This is a great place to stay if you want to get away from the hotel chain sort of thing. Situated a short bike ride (free from the hotel) to Mihintale this lovely hotel has the best kept gardens we came across in Sri Lanka. We thought the sights at Mihintale were far more interesting than those at Anuradhapura.
A dip in the super clean pool at the end of a hot tour day is just perfect."Show more

Ulagalla by Uga Escape
"We stayed here for 2 days as part of our honeymoon whist sight seeing in the cultural triangle. It is well positioned for all the major sights in the area. It is difficult to find and we were glad our driver knew where he was going. The lack of signs added to the mystique of the resort. We really enjoyed being mixed in with the wildlife with wild peacocks visiting our balcony. The plunge pool was a delight and getting around the resort by the free bikes provided was real fun and great way of burning off those extra calories consumed. I would recommend the special dining experience, we had ours on the observation tower over a beautiful lake, sipping a G&T as the light faded and then tucked into a personal BBQ.
The portions of food are very generous. The staff and particularly the managers are superb and were very keen to help make your experience special whilst at the same time giving plenty of privacy.
The food, wine and extra's are all very reasonably priced for the western traveller.
Most of all this hotel provides an authentic Sri Lankan experience in a luxury setting, something I have never seen in Sri Lanka. Congratulations to the Ulagalla Resort. We will definitely be returning."Show more

Very basic accommodation, largely sufficient to stay overnight prior to the safari.
Staff extremely friendly and helpful - that makes the stay there a very family-like evening.

The Heritage Hotel
"It was our second stay at Heritage hotel in Anuradhapura and management did not disappoint us again, on the contrary. Staff is again friendly and service minded, especially for one of our disabled companions. The scenery from the hotel is magic: the beautiful view of Thissa Wewa with all the 2000 year old large Dagoba’s on the horizon. Breakfast and dinner are buffets and have a good selection for everyone from Western to Sri Lankan food. And is it not there and you ask it, than they will bring you it if it is in the kitchen: like my tasteful mango ice cream. Rooms are clean and wide with airco. The bathroom has a shower."Show more

Hotel Alakamanda
"On our trip around Sri Lanka for 2 weeks my mother and I shared a room, but at Alakamanda it was such incredible value we booked 2 rooms. The staff were so helpful arranging drivers and guides for the local ruins and a safari to Wilpattu National Park where we were lucky enough to see a large male leopard. A trip highlight.
The food was excellent, the staff allowing us to make special orders for the next day of traditional local dishes. Breakfast and dinner. The hotel was our first stop but at the end of our 2 weeks in Sri Lanka which included lots of local restaurants and 5 hotels we agreed that the food at Alakamanda was the best we had.
They mentioned the upcoming addition of a pool and another half dozen rooms, which would be a great addition. Right now it has only 6 rooms which make steh level of personal service exceptional"Show more

White House Hotel
"We had two nights to stay in Anuradhapura, and during our stay we both seen the city and travelled to Dambulla and Sigiriya from there. The staff of the hotel was exceptionally professional, helping us in everything we needed. Probably in terms of service this was our best hotel on Sri Lanka. The restaurant is very good priced with good variety of food. The room was also very nice, with television and big bathroom. Internet is really working there, which is a good point, since many other hotels promiss the wi-fi, but it's too slow or not really working. We had a very good stay in the hotel, I would definitely recommend it as your starting point to explore Anuradhapura and the region."Show more

borrowed hotel bicycles to tour the sites. All up, a great experience at a very reasonable price."Show more

Dilsara Holiday Resort
"This was the highlight of our trip. We stayed at this beautiful hotel. It’s simple, but clean and comfortable. It is located on the Wilpattu Rd - which leads to the national park entrance. There are loads of wonderful walks in the area and it really is quite stunning. The family run hotel do a great job and the evening meal is and remains the best we have had on our holiday so far! One tip - if you are making your own way here, and are using google maps. There is a bogus Dilsara Holiday Resort on the offline version of the map. Make sure you find the real one whilst still in Wi-fi (easy to find as it has info and prices) and bookmark before heading off. One day I hope to return to this lovely hotel!"Show more

City Resort
"City Resort has more of a homestay feel than hotel. My room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was freshly prepared when you were ready to eat. The customer service is exceptional - the staff helped with planning out a cycling tour in Anuradhapura, a car hire to Polonnaruwa, a tuk-tuk tour. All with exceptional prices, I met other travelers and the tour prices I got thru City Resort was the best. The staff also talked me out of getting a car to Kandy and take the A/C bus instead so I could save 9000 rupees. Since I was traveling as a solo female, the staff arranged for a tuk-tuk driver in the evening to ensure I made it back safely. You will have a very smooth trip in Anuradhapura if you stay here!!!!"Show more

Big Game Camp - Wilpattu
"Our stay here was the best of all the (9) places we stayed in Sri Lanka. The accommodation itself is a tent of course but this is definitely Glamping! There is an attached bathroom, electricity (at night), porch and lots of little touches that make your stay comfortable.
The staff were friendly, extremely knowledgeable about the surrounding nature and unerring in their excellent service which even extended to the holding of umbrellas over us when there was a little shower during our
Al fresco lunch!
We ate Lunch, Dinner and Breakfast there and the food was among the best we had during our holiday.
We did the safari and had a nature walk with them during our stay and these were also excellent and the best that we experienced during our stay in Sri Lanka as both the naturalist and the driver were very skilled despite their youth.
If you are undecided because of the price, don't be, our stay was worth every penny."Show more

Gamodh Citadel Resort
"We stayed here for two nights Although it took a while for our room to be ready we were very pleased with it. The reception staff were most efficient ad rented us two bikes and directed us to the ancient city and were also very helpful with a tuktuk and getting off the local bus at the best stop. The food we had when we chose Sri Lankan was very nice. Maybe the noodles dish we had on the first night was not the best choice for us. Breakfast was a bit weird if you chose western - don' think back is the best in Sri Lanka - fruit and pancakes would have been nicer, but the Sri Lankan breakfast was very good. Pool was great. Drinks menu was good and our waiter was very nice. Would recommend this place"Show more

Happy Leoni Hotel
"This is the comment on my one day stay last month. I went with my wife and 2 children. When I arrived there a wedding party was going on. Parking was full but I could manage to park myself. I was given a family with 2 double beds room at 1st floor. Bed and room was quite ok but there was an unplesent odour. I think they do not use any chemical for cleaning. Bath room equipment and water pressure was satisfactory but agin not clean and bad smell. Room does not provide enough furniture to keep our things. Power control card system did not work. TV could not be tuned to any channel even at my complaint they did not respond. Food was not that good. Swimming pool is not up to standards. Pool area is not tidy.
My impression about this hotel is rather negative. It is not bad but not a quality place for a outing."Show more

London Palace
"We had a two nights stay at London Palace. It is a new B&B with large rooms, equipped with AC, TV, wifi and balcony. Food and service was good. The location is quiet, but a long way from the town centre and the temples. But Anuradhapura is perfect for biking, and you can rent bikes at the hotel. With a bike you'll reach the town centre in less than 10 minutes and the temples in 15-20 minutes. Going with a bike is also the best way to explore the temple area, since the sightings is spread over a large area, and partly in the woods."Show more

Ceylan lodge
"Ceylan Lodge is just north of Anuradhapura, within a block of similar hostels. It's still under construction though ready to go as is - we had no nuisance. Compared to most places we've been in Sri Lanka, it's very clean with good quality beds. We only had a 1 night break there and CL was perfect for this.
Note that the surroundings are still pretty rough (loads of garbage) so you probably dont want to spend 2 weeks there just yet. Well, the whole Anuradhapura area could be easily skipped."Show more

Complimentary breakfast was standard bread toast set, but neatly served ! Only drawback was to locate the place between the not so normal roads."Show more

And the room was even better than we expected! It’s super clean, has a huge comfortable bed, A/C, flat screen TV and a nice bathroom. Don’t miss the dinner/breakfast and the back garden with exotic trees and birds!!
It was a pleasure to stay there and got to know these good people! Thanks a lot!!!"Show more

More about Anuradhapura
Anuradhapura is a city of history with a heavy Buddhist culture. Travelers enter via Anuradhapura Airport, but the four- to five-hour car or bus ride from Colombo is also a viable option. So too are the train services coming from the south. Within the city, tuks tuks and buses are the ways to get around, and taking on the city by foot has its perks as well.
From the Old Town to the New Town, travelers here will surely find something to discover. The Archaeology Museum and The Folk Museum offer insight into the rich history of the land. These sites are great precursors to grabbing a tuk tuk and exploring the Old Town, where the vast majority of the city’s archaeology can be found. Many of the sites are rooted in Buddhism, from the Bodhi Tree Temple to the 1,600 stone pillars of the Lovamahapaya.
The New Town offers a more compressed area to explore and is the place to go for shopping and dining. Restaurants, snack shops, and a few secluded bars are scattered throughout. If looking for souvenirs, the Old Town sells postcards, carved wooden figurines, replica artifacts, and a number of other items.
