We liked everything about our stay at hotel Heladiv. the staff was very friendly and helpful. the pool was very refreshing. Everything for our excursions was well arranged and we received a good guide as a tuk tuk driver. Rooms are spacious, beds comfortable, clean sanitary facilities. The food was also tasty.

The view from the room is super beautiful, the vocation is a little bit outside of the city Center what makes it really calm and natural. When I sat on the terrace I saw monkeys and palm trees. The best part of this place is the host family who treated me super kindly and made me part of the family for the time I stayed at their place. The owner of the property took me to a lot of hidden places and when I got hungry he dropped me at a really nice restaurant. I am really grateful I got to know them!

    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.

    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.

    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.
