What Guests Said About Anuradhapura:

    Anuradhapura is an amazing and spiritual place.

    Anuradhapura is an amazing and spiritual place. It's different from the other sites in Sri Lanka because it still attracts so many pilgrims to its religious sites. It's a good idea to dedicate one day to visiting the active pilgrimage sites and the next to the historical sites, for which you need a ticket. Remember to cover up with long trousers and sleeves and don't forget your socks, because the ground is really hot and you have to take off your shoes everywhere. If you have an extra day, you can also return to the sites at night, which is when pilgrims light candles. Make sure you've got the Pick Me app installed and look out for a tuk tuk driver called Nisha. He's absolutely amazing: great driver, kind and attentive and with good English. For dinner, the atmospheric Hotel Shalini is a good bet. The Seedevi family restaurant is another good place. If you want to have a beer, they can put you in a separate 'family' room, or you can go to the tiny 'pub' next door.

    It is one of the best locations, slightly hot and humid, but if you love history and sightseeing, you cannot miss this location, further you can travel to multiple historic locations from here, we travelled to Mihinthale Temple and Mahiyangana, the drive was scenic, but Mihinthale will take your breath.

    Anuradhapura, one of the world's oldest continuously...

    Anuradhapura, one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities, is a treasure trove of ancient history that stretches back to the 4th century BCE. Established by King Pandukabhaya, it served as the majestic capital of Sri Lanka for over a millennium, playing a pivotal role in the island's Buddhist heritage and cultural evolution. The arrival of Buddhism in Sri Lanka, introduced by Mahinda Thera in the 3rd century BCE, marked a transformative era for Anuradhapura. This led to the creation of awe-inspiring stupas, monastic complexes, and elaborate water reservoirs that showcase the ingenuity of the time. Central to this transformation is the revered Sri Maha Bodhi tree, a sapling believed to have been taken from the very tree under which the Buddha attained enlightenment, which continues to be a powerful pilgrimage site. Anuradhapura flourished as a vibrant hub of trade, culture, and religion. Its stunning architecture, exemplified by monumental structures like the Ruwanwelisaya and the Jetavanaramaya, reflects the extraordinary vision and craftsmanship of its builders—each stone telling a story of devotion, power, and artistry. Despite facing invasions and natural calamities that eventually led to its decline in the 10th century CE, Anuradhapura's legacy endured. The capital shifted to Polonnaruwa, but Anuradhapura remained a beacon of historical significance, earning its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today, it captivates scholars and travelers alike, offering a glimpse into Sri Lanka's rich cultural lineage and inviting exploration of its ancient ruins, sacred sites, and the profound stories embedded within them. Anuradhapura is not just a city; it’s a living testament to the resilience and depth of a civilization that continues to inspire.

    Amazing history of the city and its fantastic old and newer temples. Thoroughly enjoyed our Sri Lanka traditional cooking experience, a must do in Anuradhapura. Wildlife park was great with many different animals and birds, but didn’t seem to be large numbers of animals.

    This was a really interesting hotel. A hotel of 2 parts. The rooms are really lovely - a good standard & clean. We had a suite with a private pool that was great. The public areas & restaurant are not so great - they need a refresh & some care and attention. The pool area could be really good - but just felt a bit unloved and untidy. The food was great. The Sri Lankan breakfast was excellent. The waiting staff were friendly & fun.

The place was very clean and well-maintained, creating a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere. The staff were friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even better. Overall, it was a great place to relax and enjoy some quiet time.

    Great hotel to stay in Anuradhapura. In some of the other reviews the food gets some poor comments. We found that if you stuck with the Sri Lankan menu the food was excellent, particularly the chicken and fish curries. Very welcoming host and really attentive staff. They also made an excellent packed breakfast for our 5am safari start.

    The place was amazing. Such a cute homely homestay. The rooms were very spacious, and the hosts were very accommodating with booking tours and gave good recommendations of what to do with my time there. The food was absolutely amazing, one of the best meals I’ve had in Sri Lanka so far. Would highly recommend and would stay again.
