Find Historic Hotels in Anuradhapura from CA $21

"Shehan, his wife and young son make Saubagya Inn an excellent choice for a stay at Anuradhapura. The rooms are spacious, the beds comfortable, the bathroom good and the a/c worked well in the hot weather when I stayed. The Guesthouse was about around 40 years ago and with a large, covered veranda makes for very relaxing ‘down time’. Shehan speaks good English and is trained and trains in hospitality. Shehan also gave me some excellent advice on how best to tackle the large, formidable Ancient...

"Very quiet when we stayed so lacking atmosphere, particularly in the the restaurant. The service in the restaurant was excellent but reception was less helpful, except the lady who seemed to be the manager. Room was nice but could easily be updated to a much higher standard. Lots of monkeys, and they get up close, we quite enjoyed watching on our veranda but others might be put off by. "

"In a lovely quiet location. My room was a bit dark, but did open onto a lovely outdoor courtyard which was perfect for yoga."

"The staff were very friendly and helpful. The service they provided was excellent. The food was very good. The rooms could be better, needing modernising. However, for the price, it's good value for money."

"Very good service. "

"This property offered value for money - it was cheap. In its heyday, it must have been a very nice hotel but maintenance has fallen behind over the years. The common areas are fine but the rooms and exterior/grounds are very tired and badly need to be updated. Perhaps the owners can't afford it - there were only 4 guests booked in on the night we stayed."

"Stayed for 2 nights. Food was great for a 3 star place. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It's an old hotel but great location. The walk around the lake is beautiful. "

"I got in late and left fairly early, so didn't spend much time there. My room had a bug issue and didn't smell so fresh. Also didn't have hot water in the morning - but that got fixed after I told the person at breakfast. Simple, and has potential, but could use a little freshening up."

"Very nice chill out garden overlooking rice paddy. Extremely nice and helpful management. Very good breakfast and rice & curry buffet dinner. Easy bike ride (they rent bikes) to Museum to purchase ticket for cultural sites"

"Mmmm...on arrival we were made to feel very unwelcomed. We were not expected and then was criticised for booking through Expedia because the $ the host received was a much smaller % compared to other booking groups! (I then learnt that Hotels.com is owned by Expedia!!) We got an 'upgrade' which was not necessary. The rest of the o/n stay was pleasant."
