“Clean and comfortable rooms”
I had a wonderful and relaxing stay at Athyantha Resort in Anuradhapura. The rooms were impeccably clean and comfortable, providing an ideal retreat. The food was exceptionally tasty, with Chef Samantha offering outstanding personal attention. We also enjoyed a delightful welcome drink upon arrival. This hidden gem is perfect for travelers seeking relaxation during their visit to Anuradhapura and is conveniently close to the Ruwanwelisaya.

From the beginning, the cleanliness of the room was poor. During our stay, we noticed cockroaches and cobwebs in the room, and the bathroom/toilet was particularly unhygienic and not properly maintained. This was extremely disappointing and unacceptable, especially considering the price paid. Additionally, during the middle of the night, continuous frog noises caused significant disturbance and made it difficult for us to rest. After complaining to the staff, we were asked to change to another room. During this interaction, it became apparent that the staff was already aware of this noise issue. This raised a serious concern as to why we were initially allocated a room with a known disturbance. Overall, the stay was very poor and did not provide value for the money spent. Due to the cleanliness issues, lack of comfort, and inconvenience faced, we are extremely dissatisfied with the experience.

I was the only customer those 2 nights. The staff were well meaning and a good Sri Lankan breakfast both mornings. The view across the fields was great. However the room looked tired, no working kettle or amenities. No hot water. Although the Air conn worked mosquito netting is required. Thhe guesthouse lacked the feel of ownership which is important for a small establishment. A shame as attention to detail could have made it an excellent stay.

We had an unpleasant stay at the Athyanthaya hotel in Anuradhapura, which did not meet our expectations. The breakfast was below par, and flies were swarming everywhere. The rooms were unclean and lacked essential amenities such as a properly functioning refrigerator and electric kettle. The bathroom was in unhygienic condition, and to add to the misery, the hand bider was not working correctly. We were even startled to find a frog in the commode! Unfortunately, our entire trip to Anuradhapura was ruined due to this unsatisfactory experience.

“A Cozy Getaway in Nature”
Away from the city buzz, Athyantha is like a hidden treasure where you can be comfy and close to nature. It's surrounded by lovely paddy fields that turn into a magical scene when the moon is full. Mornings are special here with beautiful views and the sound of birds flying above the fields. The warm breeze and greenery make it a peaceful spot, perfect for people who love nature. The rooms are not just comfy; they're made so you can see the amazing views around. The staff is friendly and takes care of everything to make sure you have a great stay. Athyantha is not just a place to stay; it's like going into nature's beauty. If you want a quiet place and love being close to nature, you should check out this resort. My time here was really nice, and I'm looking forward to coming back to this peaceful place.
