grand hotel un peu impersonnel et décati; personnel gentil (mais pas forcement très pro). super emplacement, très agréable piscine et un buffet tout à fait correct.

I don't normally write bad reviews. But the only good thing about this 3-star hotel was the garden by the lake. It's a completely old and run-down hotel. Since the lobby is intertwined with the restaurant, the smell of food is prevalent in the hotel. There is no approach to welcoming customers with a smile and courtesy at the reception anyway. A filthy room that you can't even see in one-star suburban hotels. The bathroom is dirty, the walls are moldy from humidity. The bathtub is pitch black. There are stains on the sheets. I can't even find words to describe the refrigerator. Even $5 is too much for the hotel room we paid $65 for.

The location is excellent, next to the lake, and only a few hundred meters away from the famous stone statue of Parakala Bahu I. Beautiful environment

The hotel has a beautiful garden with 360 degree view of the Lake, thats the only positive aspect of the hotel, i booked a lake view room but was given a partial view room. The room didn’t have a mini bar, hairdryer not working, there was noshower gels, when requested they told only shampoo is provided, which is very weird. Its a run down hotel and needs a revamp of its amenities to be called a four star hotel. For me this is worth a 3 star hotel.
There is no shops or hotels nearby, so plan everything before coming to the hotel

This was a great location in Polonnaruwa. We loved all the services provided. The hotel had a great garden and I would say this is one of the best hotel gardens ever experienced in Sri Lanka. I specially thank front office “Hansika” which she was very proactive in helping out, also her wonderful customer service to all of us stayed at the hotel. We also would like to thank “Dilshan” for his services throughout dining. We wish both of these staff very well and hope to come back soon. Also would definitely recommend the place for wonderful stay with fantastic views over Parakrama Samdudraya.

The room was very clean and the service was good. It was right by the lake and the sunset was beautiful. It's just that it's stingy. It charges more than 7,000 for a 12-year-old child. Although the hotel policy is like this, it doesn't feel very good.
