Man Guest Polonnaruwa, hotel in Polonnaruwa

Providing garden views, Man Guest Polonnaruwa in Polonnaruwa offers accommodations, a garden, and a shared lounge.

Professional, courteous and helpful. The rooms are large and clean with good facilities. We had a day of torrential rain which confined us to the guesthouse. It was absolutely a pleasure to sit and read a book, watch the many birds and plan the next days. Bicycle hire was easy, and the owners generous with local knowledge.

Luxman Guest House, hotel in Polonnaruwa

Offering garden views, Luxman Guest House in Polonnaruwa provides accommodations and free bikes.

Very cheap and a short tuk tuk ride away from the ancient city. The owner was so nice and very helpful during my stay. He was always making me tea, helped me sort out a tuk tuk and also recommended somewhere really good and cheap to eat. The room I stayed in was very basic but it was very cheap and fine for a nights stay.

Radha Tourist Home, hotel in Polonnaruwa

A good location for a relaxing holiday in Polonnaruwa, Radha Tourist Home is a guest house surrounded by views of the garden.

The owner was very welcoming when we checked in and had a great spot for parking a small car. We also had dinner there which was really delicious! Very good options for vegetarian and meat dishes. During dinner, the couple made casual chit chat with us and served us the dishes on the plate and asked us to eat more - feels very homely and like having dinner with your grandma and grandpa. They also served beer with the dinner if you like. Breakfast was also great - some sweet sri lankan hoppers and fruit. Air conditioning in the room was also strong and the Mosquito net worked great. Location is really close to the ancient city and the lake. You can see a beautiful sunset from the lake and overlook some rice padi fields.

Great place with nice hosts. The beds were comfortable, and the room facilities were good, with all the necessary amenities included. Breakfast wasn't provided, but there's a space available to have meals if you bring food from outside. A/C worked very well.

    great hosts who helped us with cycle hire for the ancient city and onward transport. The property is tucked away from the main road so is quiet but close to the ancient city entrance. Very reasonably priced for what you get.

    The guest house is a great location, just down the road from the ancient city and I rented a bike to go and explore it. Food was amazing from the host, some of the best I had in Sri Lanka. I would definitely recommend a stay. Especially as a solo traveller it was a nice break for two nights.

    The location of the guest house is great. You can also rent bikes there (they are in good shape and cheaper than in other locations). We also ate dinner there and it was one of the best meals we had on Sri Lanka. They could also arrange safari tour as the host owns the jeep.

    Me and my partner stayed for 2 nights at Devi. The home cooked dinners in the evening were some of the best we had in Sri Lanka and very reasonable - highly recommend! Breakfast was a little more basic but plenty of toast and fresh fruit. We rented Bikes from the hosts to visit the ancient city which was great. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and friendly and helped arranged transportation when we checked out. Theres a beautiful lake not too far from the guesthouse which we walked to by foot. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here.
