📍 Hunuvilagama - Ehatuawagama Rd, Wilpattu, Anuradhapura

"Our stay at Wilpattu Safari Resort was absolutely unforgettable. The ultimate highlight of our trip was spending our nights listening to the incredible, raw sounds of the jungle while taking a relaxing night swim in our villa's private pool—a truly magical experienceThe food was outstanding. They offered a fantastic dinner buffet with a wide variety of both authentic local Sri Lankan dishes and international cuisine. To top it all off, there was a wonderful barbecue section at the end of the evening that we absolutely loved!The atmosphere at night was incredibly fun and lively, especially when we all gathered to sing karaoke! The staff was amazing, warm, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. If you want a unique luxury getaway in nature with great food and entertainment, this is the place to be.

Saubagya Inn
9.3 (34 reviews)

Saubagya Inn ★★

📍 395, 10 Bandaranaike Mawatha, Anuradhapura

"As the first accommodation for my trip to Sri Lanka, it is located about a 10 to 20-minute walk from the Anuradhapura Bus Terminal and the city center. Since it is an area where PickMe taxis are readily available, there are no issues. All the staff are friendly, and the room is clean, comfortable, and equipped with air conditioning. There are some ants and bugs, but I believe this is the case everywhere in Anuradhapura."

"Loved the way Roshan communicated to meet our needs … even for a one night stay. He organised our half day safari & we enjoyed a fabulous meal the night before … such a variety of dishes, all home cooked … yummy The place was amazing … very new & in excellent condition. They were not fully booked & so we were offered an upgrade. His niece, Nikki?, accompanied us on the safari at no extra cost … her knowledge of birds & other wildlife really enhanced our experience. She willingly shared her photos with us, along with her excellent spotting ability. Thanks to everyone who contributed in some way to a memorable weekend"

Cinnamon Lodge Habarana Hotels in Anuradhapura

Cinnamon Lodge Habarana

"Sri Lanka Habarana Cinnamon Villas, my friend accidentally popped up on "Nar.com" and ended up booking the wrong way. After many negotiations to cancel the order, it was unsuccessful. We crossed mountains and ridges all the way, and when we arrived at the hotel, we were told that there was no information. After coordination by Ctrip's overseas department, we finally checked in. The watermelon juice for breakfast at the hotel was not fresh, so I didn't dare to drink it today."

Sungreen Resort Habarana Hotels in Anuradhapura

Sungreen Resort Habarana

"The hotel is exactly as expected for the amount you pay. We thought it was great value! We stayed for 7 nights. The rooms are quite spacious and although basic have everything you require. The location is ideal for trips to Safari, Lion Rock & Dambulla caves. All within 20 mins drive from the hotel. Hotel will arrange driver for the day or Tuk Tuk. Very reasonable prices for transport. The town is not too far, with a range of lovely places to eat at very good prices. But above all, it is the staff that make the place! We have travelled quite extensively, and the staff here have been the most friendly and welcoming. Amith, who tends the pool, went out of his way for us. He does a great job, making sure the pool is clean & tidy. A very friendly guy! Nimasha, who works on reception & at the restaurant is a joy to have around! We got along very well. She even dressed me in a beautiful sari, which I really enjoyed! Such a lovely girl. Lahiru, the deputy manager, is excellent at his job. He is very easy to talk to & goes out of his way to engage in conversation. He is a very genuine guy, with a great work ethic. We got along very well & he treated us to dinner on our last night! If you want a place to stay that is budget friendly, conveniently situated, with fantastic staff then Sungreen is the place for you!"

Habarana Village by Cinnamon Hotels in Anuradhapura

Habarana Village by Cinnamon

"It is not on a popular tourist route, so there are not so many people, especially relatively few Chinese guests. The hotel is villa-style, with a sense of vacation, few people, quiet, and super large rooms. The staff are polite and very good in all aspects."

Hotel Saji-Sami Hotels in Anuradhapura

Hotel Saji-Sami

"Hotel Saji- Sami in Mihintale was our first visit with the family. We booked a family room for four. The room was spacious, and has ample parking space, surrounded by trees with the cool breeze around you. Ideal place to be with your family to relax and have a quiet holiday out of the busy noisy city limits. It has a pool as well for you to just relax and swim around with the birds/ peacocks singing. From this hotel you could see the 'Mihintale" dagabas. The room was priced reasonable, you can request for a bottle of mineral water or for a cup of tea if needed. They have a restaurant, space for weddings, and space for other functions as well. From what the owner told me, they have been closed for some time, and they are back in business. They are on the way renovating the place, it will tak3 some time to be on full swing. But, you are still welcome to visit this place and enjoy the stay. Flavorful Destinations By:- M N Nizam 20th January 2025."

Kutumbaya Hotels in Anuradhapura

Kutumbaya

"Pros: Value for money. Good Returent with tasty food from the inhouse chef. Good room with TV/AC/Kettle ect. Cons: Photos of outside the rooms and premises published in the sites are not very accurate as the place isnt kept tidy and pool area is messy with towels put to dry on chairs ect. However they can improve a lot to present whats shown in photos. On the check in day we went there around 1:50 (check in time 2:00). We were asked to give 15 mini to prepare the rooms. But we recieved the rooms only after 3.00( Which can be a very rare occational thing as per them). Overall: Value for Money and good stay. "

It is commendable that the traditional rituals were prioritized, and games and other elements were arranged so that everyone present could enjoy themselves. Friendliness of the staff: The attentive and friendly service shown by your hotel staff was outstanding. Even at busy times, they kept a smile on their faces and served us very kindly.

"The hotel has a unique design, complete basic facilities, considerate service, and the air conditioner was turned on early in the morning before check-in.

Liyana Holiday Resort ★★★
"It's located in the city center, but the tree-filled garden creates a pleasant atmosphere. The rooms are spacious and clean for the price. The bathroom has good hot water and is comfortable. The staff is friendly, and the breakfast is simple but delicious. It's near the lake, and you can reach Buddhist sites by tuk-tuk for 400-500 rupees. Perhaps because of the trees, there are a lot of mosquitoes."
