Nice place, close to great restaurants. Traditional breakfast was pretty good! We really enjoyed our stay !

“nice place to stay for 2-3 nights for sightseeing’s tour”

Nice little hotel, friendly owner who helps with luggage and hints, clean rooms and linen, charging station, very good recommendation to the best restaurant in town next door, hotel offers breakfast for 6,5$, western or local with fresh juice etc.

“It was a very pleasant stay though only for a night but the owner made you very welcome there. Would stay there again i”

The rooms are very clean and the owner is very friendly.

We were delighted with the kindness of the personnel. They helped us arrange everything like Safari, a tour through the city, and transfer to our next location. The rooms are the right size. Not very big but spacious enough, and very clean with comfortable beds.

The minute we arrived our host helped us decide on how to make the most of our limited time in Anuraghapurna. He suggested an afternoon climb of neighbouring Mihintale Rock which was a true highlight. He also put us in contact with Kumal who guided us around both Mihintale and the Anuraghapurna Unesco Heritage sight, his knowledge and insight enhanced our experience ten fold and he was very easy to get on with. The generous breakfast on the sun terrace and a slightly earlier check-in was much appreciated.

We stayed one night, everything was perfect. Clean room, comfy bed and genuinely helpful staff who arranged transport and gave us great advice. A smooth, friendly stay that made us feel truly welcome. Highly recommended!

Great host that arranged a lot of stuff for us. Local breakfast was tasty. The location is also good and quite a few nice restaurants within walking distance.

“Loved our stay”

Lovely owner who tells you everything about the city

“Great place to stay!”

Senpathi is really nice and helpful, the hotel is very cute, our stay overall was great!

“Excellent comfortable guesthouse, great service”

Very comfortable and clean - the owner, Senpathi is meticulous! He’s very helpful in organising trips/tuk tuks etc. I had the flu during the stay and he gave lots of tips on local remedies and made special food and drinks to help me feel better!
