Beautiful lake front property,
Gorgeous lake front hotel. Directly at the ancient city so the position could not get better. The staff were great and the food was excellent. The hotel is not huge so the attention from staff is friendly and personal. Beautiful pool overlooking the lake which is a perfect spot for cooling off after the heat, and perfect sunset spot. Would definitely recommend.

I had originally planned to stay 2 nights however with the trains not running as normal at the time of my visit i stayed just the one, in the evening it was just lovely and peaceful, The staff was great and immediately organised me to visit the Sacred City Further they organised me a taxi to visit dambulla and drop me off at my next hotel at sigiriya

A Vision
Upon arriving by a long car ride from Kandy, the sight of the hotel overlooking the lake felt like paradise. A welcome cool drink was offered me as my check in went smoothly. The room is large with a balcony overlooking the lake. Keep doors of the balcony shut at all times and you will not have any problem with mosquitoes. The good and room service was fantastic along with the Sri Lanka coffee. I had the snapped two nights and it was grand. The hotel helped me with a tuk-tuk driver the ruins and again when I drove over to my next destination. A small wonderful is also on the property. This would make an excellent romantic escape as well.
John, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Very pleasant location next to the lake on one side and the ruins on the other, meaning you can walk over. The room was clean and comfortable, but could have done with mosquito repellents or nets since these are pretty abundant near the lake. The breakfast was very nice, however, the menu service made this quite slow (something to consider if you're getting up early to see the ruins before the heat), and a few options were out of stock.

The view on the lake was beautiful. A place to be simply to relax since there is nothing really there. Room was very clean and spacious. Restaurant prices are too high.

ホテルから遺跡のチケット売り場まで徒歩10分、バス停は7分です。また、そばには無料で拝観できる遺跡があり、とても便利です。ホテルは湖畔にあり、対岸を望むと野生の象がいます。部屋は広々としてとても快適です。スタッフの方々はとてもフレンドリーで色々と世話になりました。料理はコースになっており、選べるのが良かったです。

Great view, very nice and helpful staff. Nice comfy rooms with a colonial flair. Next door to the archaeology museum and the 1000 year ruins. Highly recommended.

lakeside stay in the archaeological center
Very enjoyable stay at this old renovated rest house. The hotel is on a beautiful lakeside peninsula with great views . We stayed 2 nights and found it very relaxing. The deluxe room was very comfortable, clean and nicely appointed. The staff were excellent and we felt well looked after. We were able to arrange safari and long distance taxi through the hotel. On the slightly need to improve side we felt the background pan pipes music to be annoying and the rented bikes could do with some maintenance (gears don’t work). Not sure why they charge rental for the bikes as the hotel isn’t inexpensive. Overall this is a great place to stay. Food was very good and the small pool is very nice to cool down in

Best hotel in Polonnaruwa
Beautiful small hotel situated on the edge of the tank (the large reservoir made by an ancient king). Perfect for sunsets and strolls. Close to ruins. Great staff, amazing food.
