Top Ruwanwelisaya Hotel Reviews

Rajarata Hotel

8/10 Good

"My family and I stayed at Rajarata Hotel for two nights, and we had a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The hotel offers comfortable, well-appointed rooms, and the inclusion of a handheld shower is a thoughtful convenience that enhances the stay. The hotel is easy to locate, and the directions provided by Google Maps are accurate, making arrival smooth and hassle-free. The true highlight of the hotel is its exceptional staff. They are warm, courteous, genuinely welcoming, and remarkably attentive, consistently going above and beyond to ensure guests have a pleasant experience. The dining area is spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully designed, creating an inviting atmosphere. There are also plenty of well-maintained common areas where guests can relax and unwind. The food is excellent, particularly if you are looking to experience authentic Sri Lankan cuisine. The generous selection of traditional Sri Lankan dishes is both flavorful and well prepared, making every meal a delight. Overall, Rajarata Hotel provides a comfortable stay, outstanding hospitality, and excellent dining, making it a wonderful choice for families visiting Anuradhapura."

Breedon Residence Hotel - Anuradhapura

10/10 Excellent

"Our family (4 adults and 2 children) stayed for 1 night (July 2026). Everything is excellent and in future, we will chose this place without hesitation. Hosts Sulochana and Mathavan are professional, courteous and extremely friendly. Property is very close to Anuradhapura attractions. Amenities are very good and the location is very safe."

The Ivy Lake

10/10 Excellent

"The Ivy Lake is a rare find in Sri Lanka, being modern & so well maintained as it only four rooms. The brother & sister who manage the property are in touch with technology making them very helpful for what's going on in Anuradhapura & helping with things to do in the area. The garden is so beautiful making the property feel tropical & peaceful in a very busy city. The Ivy Lake is very central to the Old Town, the lake, bus station & the train station, perfect to be walkable to everything. The room is very convenient with a rare refrigerator, great shower & comfy bed, everything a traveller needs. There is a superb coffee shop that the youngsters have with all meals available. Well done Ivy Lake, we highly recommend you to all visitors to Anuradhapura."

Kutumbaya

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was very handy for the pool and the restaurant and was reasonably quiet. The manager and staff were very courteous and helpful and the manager was able to arrange a Safari at late notice and a tuktuk guide for the ancient city. The Safari guide Zion was excellent as was his driver. The tuktukguide Kumar was also very good."
