This hotel was outstanding! Impeccably clean, with delicious food and incredibly kind staff. They went above and beyond to solve a problem we had, arranging everything perfectly for the next day. Super organized and attentive. Highly recommended for an exceptional stay! Dinner was excellent, with an exceptional rice & curry and delicious kottu (a local specialty).

The location of the property is very convenient for commuters but when you enter the premises it is so green and silent. One can not hear the noise or sound from the main road. That is a remarkable feature of this place 👍😃

The lady of the house is very friendly and helpful. She makes a very welcoming atmosphere. She cooks excellent meals herself, so we recommend her cooking classes although we didn't try them, our visit was too short to cook. The room was clean and spacy, with wifi and airconditioning. The vicinity was pleasantly quiet. We loved her garden and the garden kitchen where meals were made and served.

As two young women we felt very comfortable with this stay. Everybody was of great help, we were able to secure good deals through their recommendations with local drivers/tours, and the best of all was the food. All cooked fresh and best we had in the country so far. The stay gas a beautiful garden by a lake, rooms are basic but clean and all you need. Would recommend this stay to anyone.

    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.

    My stay at Anuradhapura Heritage Hotel was nothing short of perfect! The location is breathtaking, nestled close to the ancient city’s iconic landmarks, making it super convenient for sightseeing while offering a peaceful and scenic environment. The food was outstanding—from authentic Sri Lankan flavors to international dishes, every meal was a treat. You can tell the chefs put a lot of care into the quality and presentation.

    This hotel is a gem in the heart of Anuradhapura.  Beautiful charm property and the staff was amazing.  Its a privately owned hotel and the owner himself personally looks after the guest. They go an extra mile to make sure that the guest needs are met. The rooms are very spacious and I visited with my parents. Hats off to the hotel team for being exceptional with their service. I will be surely staying here whenever I'm back.

    The place was beautiful and also close to the temples. We stayed in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. You can easily reach the temples by taxi, as they are not too far from the hotel. We also did a guided safari, which was a great experience. We took the full safari, which cost around 60 euros per person. In the end,
