Oase in der Nähe des Historical Park
Pros:

Wir konnten unsere Fahrräder sicher abstellen. Das Personal ist mehr als hilfsbereit und freundlich. Die Zimmer sind groß und technisch funktionierte alles (AC/warm Duschen etc) Die Lage war sehr gut, etwas weg von der Hauptstraße, so dass wir richtig ruhig schlafen konnten. Die Beschilderung von der Strasse zum Hotel ist ideal, man findet es auf Anhieb. Wir haben dort sehr gut zu Abend gegessen und man kann sich jederzeit etwas von der Karte zu trinken oder Essen bestellen. Der Pool war gepflegt die Auflagen für die Liegen waren gut. Wir sind auch gut in Kontakt mit dem Personal gekommen , da gutes Englisch gesprochen wurde.

Cons:

Einzig, die Tür zum Bad hat einen wirklich "kleinen" Rahem, man muss aufpassen das man sich nicht anstösst. Ansonsten gab es nix.

Schöne Unterkunft in guter Lage mit sehr nettem Personal
Pros:

Alles prima. Wir konnten in der Unterkunft Fahrräder mieten und von dort aus Polunaruwa gut erkunden. Personal war sehr hilfreich. Sie haben uns sogar an der Hauptstraße in den richtigen Bus zur Weiterreise gesetzt. Frühstück war sehr lecker und der Pool toll.

Volvería a reservar con ellos
Pros:

Nos alojamos en Seyara una noche para ir a visitar la antigua ciudad de Polonnaruwa. Es verdad que las instalaciones están un poco antiguas, pero limpias y bien cuidadas. La piscina está muy guay. Lo mejor, sin duda, el precio (muy barato) y sobretodo el trato personal. Nos cayó una chupa de agua tremenda cuando íbamos a cenar y, al llegar, aunque habíamos dicho que no queríamos cenar, nos la prepararon y estaba riquísima. Estuvieron siempre pendientes de que estuviésemos cómodos y nos dieron todas las facilidades. Un 10.

Ich habe mich wohl gefühlt, vor allem wegen dem Personal
Pros:

Sehr freundliches Personal das einem bei allem hilft, grosser Pool, ruhig.
Lage etwas ausserhalb, man kann aber ein Velo im Hotel mieten und ist rasch bei den Tempelanlagen.

Cons:

Ich hatte ein Zimmer mit Ventilator. Das Zimmer hat gemuffelt (Schimmel?), die zweite Nacht haben sie mir dann die Aircondition gegeben, das war dann besser.

A good base to visit the ancient sites
Pros:

Helpful, kind and friendly staff who gave us good advice about visiting ancient sites and helped us catch the bus on the main road. Amazing food, including breakfast and dinner. Spacious room was cool to escape the heat of the day and pool shaded for a lot of the day.

Cons:

All good
