Pros:

The lodge is located at a very convenient place. 2 very good restaurants are in walking distance. All the famous sacred sites are easily accessible. The price is incredibly cheap because it offers almost all the facilities.

Cons:

The toilet's flushing didn't function properly.

Pros:

The place is very clean and tidy. The room has a very big and confortable bed. The AC and the shower worked well.
I really appreciated to use the bicycle for free. It was really easy to get around the sacred city.
I recommend this place.

Cons:

Unfortunately, because I was the only guest, breakfast could not be provided. I understood, though, the situation in the world has affected tourism here quite badly.

Ruime kamers, mooie locatie
Pros:

De kamers waren ruim. Op onze kamer bleek airco kapot te zijn, op initiatief van accommodatie kregen we een andere kamer.
Ontbijt was prima. Locatie was flexibel, konden makkelijk tijde.n van ontbijt bijvoorbeeld verzetten.

Cons:

Personeel was wat afstandelijk, niet echt betrokken. Op eerste kamer zat een kakkerlak.

Best place in Anuradhapura
Pros:

Perfect accommodation in Anudharapura. Super clean, cosy and comfortable bedroom and the staff are super nice and helpful always. Also you have free bikes and cheap e-bikes if you stay here which made our days in the city much better. 100% recommended to stay here if you come to Anudharapura.

Fantastic value for money
Pros:

We were so pleased with this stay. It is a good location for exploring the city, restaurants and a bit Keells supermarket were a short bike ride away and the hotel offers free pedal bikes to use (or really brilliant e-bikes for $5 USD a day).

They have no restaurant but if you pre-order breakfast, they can make a fantastic spread.

The room itself was super comfortable, great air con and water pressure. The WiFi also worked really well - I was able to take a job interview with zero WiFi issues.
There is also a small kitchenette you can use.

Cons:

There are a lot of mosquitos around the property (a net for the bed can be requested, we didn’t have trouble in the room if we kept the door closed).

The only real problem we had was the drains really smelled which made the bathroom very stinky. Something that’s very difficult for the property to help, but it is quite unpleasant so need to keep the bathroom door closed all times.
