Top Basawakkulama Hotel Reviews

Aryana Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a small boutique hotel well located to easily access all the ruins, temples, and sites of Anuradhapura. It has a nice pool to cool off after sightseeing. The breakfast was fantastic. When we arrived, because the hotel wasn’t fully booked, the manager kindly upgraded us to a room with more space so we would be more comfortable. The manager also arranged for a tour guide for a private tour of the ruins of Anuradhapura. The manager and the rest of the staff were so helpful and accommodating."
