Pros:

l'emplacement, la piscine avec la vue sur les rizières.

Cons:

Le petit-déjeuner buffet avec des plats un peu froids mais pas très grave.
La salle de bain qui ne ferme pas et d'une propreté un peu douteuse.
Celle-ci mériterait un serieux rafraîchissement, cela dénote avec la beauté du lieu.

Altibajos
Pros:

La piscina con sus vistas al arrozal eran muy bonitas. El desayuno suficiente.

Cons:

Que cuando llegamos vimos que el baño tenía el techo abierto y pedimos una habitación con baño cerrado y el empleado nos mintió diciendo que había un cristal arriba y no era cierto. En otras habitaciones si pero en esa no. Las paredes eran de papel y el ruido de las otras habitaciones no nos dejó dormir.

Pros:

Hotel splendido, molto comodo per visitare Anuradhapura, camere pulite e spaziose, bagno grande e moderno, piscina piccola ma molto confortevole e con vista sulla vegetazione. In tutto l'hotel si respira una splendida sensazione di tranquillità. Cena e colazione in hotel a buffet entrambe ottime. Staff ottimo. Lo consiglio.

Leuke en rustige uitvalsbasis voor een bezoek aan de tempels
Pros:

Heerlijk fris zwembad met prachtig uitzicht op de rijstvelden, rustige locatie, supervriendelijke ontvangst, lekker en zeer redelijk geprijsd diner in buffetvorm.

Cons:

De badkamer kan een opfrisbeurt gebruiken, de deuren zijn lastig te openen/te sluiten, beperkte keuze aan fruit bij het ontbijt en enkel oploskoffie.

A peaceful and relaxing stay
Pros:

The location was beautiful and super peaceful. Monaara Leisure is true to its name, where we saw many monaras (aka peacocks) roaming around. The food was delicious with a good variety of dishes. The room was also very clean, had many power outlets and a bedside reading lamp, which was important for me personally. The staff were also very friendly and accommodated all our needs!! If you're looking for an affordable yet quality place to stay in Anuradhapura - I would highly recommend this hotel!
