- a/c and fan is in the room - clean bedroom and toilet - beautiful garden and view - comfortable bed - quiet place - cute cat - you can request lunch and dinner if you like - beautiful and designed building - nearby the Potgul temple (1km away) In overall we really loved the place 10/10. Even though there wasn't wifi (recommend getting a sim card at the airport). Breakfast is simple but for the price of stay it is really good value! I can highly recommend this place!

Hotel Siyathma in Polonnaruwa proved to be an excellent choice for our recent trip. The hotel's prime location made exploring the ancient city incredibly convenient. The major viewpoints were just a short distance away, allowing us ample time to immerse ourselves in the rich history and beauty of Polonnaruwa. The hospitality extended by the hotel staff was truly commendable. They were friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Their warm welcome made us feel right at home. One of the highlights of our stay was undoubtedly the delicious food served at the hotel. From breakfast to dinner, every meal was a culinary delight. The flavors were authentic and the portions were generous. It was clear that great care was taken in preparing each dish. Overall, our experience at Hotel Siyathma was exceptional. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Polonnaruwa.

I stayed at Lake Park Hotel for two nights, and it was a fantastic experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The food was excellent, and the boat ride organized by the hotel was a highlight—well worth the money! The rooms were comfortable and offered stunning views of the lake, making the stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Lovely clean rooms and friendly staff who went beyond expectations. The environment was peaceful and calm. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious; and the pool sparkling clean and refreshing after a day out sightseeing. They even treated us to some extra treats in the evening while enjoying a drink in the dining room. Great value for money and would return again.

Sites are interesting.

Sites are interesting. We walked from the museum ticket office through the sites and out to the exit. Not difficult and you can more easily get to the sites away from the road and these were the quietest and most atmospheric.

Devi Tourist Home

Devi Tourist Home Devi s Tourist Home Fantastic stay with Doreena and her husband who were the warmest and most generous hosts. Many travellers choose to visit Polonnaruwa as a day trip from Sigiriya but we were so pleased after a long hot day at the site to stay locally at Devi ‘ s Tourist Home. The room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable with the air conditioning. We were able to take a tuk tuk to a nearby hotel on the lakeside for sunset cocktails in the most beautiful and peaceful setting.Back at Devi s she cooked us a delicious dinner of typical Sri Lankan curries ( better and more generous than a restaurant!) Breakfast was also very good with fresh coffee, fruits and eggs.After checking out, we very much enjoyed a visit to Doreena’s family craft shop where her husband demonstrated how they use natural dyes and we purchased quite unique souvenirs (wine goblets and teacups made from coconut shells-beautiful and we didn’t see anywhere else)at very reasonable prices.The shop is called Hashan Carved and Craft in Polonnaruwa.The whole experience was wonderful and all incredibly good value. Highly recommended!

Great place to explore the ancient city as well as safaris in Minniyera NP, Habarana NP and Kurulu Eco Park. You can easily cycle through the ancient city and there are plenty of tour guides available to take you through the city.

Half a day was enough as the sun was out and draining.

Half a day was enough as the sun was out and draining. At the last stop in Polonnaruwa where you have the temple there was a young man sketching and painting. There was also an older gentleman selling Neem & Jamun tree wood containers and tumblers for keeping water in the night and drinking in the morning Neem for better all over health & Jamun for decreasing blood sugar.

The ancient city of Polonnaruwa has a lot to offer to the tourists who want to know about the history of Sri Lanka. It has so many ruins and monuments to view, and especially marvel at the stone crafting abilities of ancient Sri Lankans who have created so many buddhist states and artistic monuments by using rocks. Definitely a trip to add to your bucket list.

Nice view from the room at rice fields. We got welcome tea when we arrived. The room Was a bit small but the towels and bedcloth were clean. There were some insects in the room, but we suppose it's common here. Very good location, the place is close to the Centre and at the same time calm. The host offered breakfast for 4usd/person, yet later she added also service charge - we were not informed about it before and never experienced it in any other guest houses and hotels.

From the minute we arrived we were made welcome and helped with anything we needed. The family who own Tishan Holiday Resort embody Sri Lankan hospitality and service at its very best. The pool was very welcome amid the heat of Polonnaruwa and both breakfast and evening meal offered ample choice (though no doubt adapted to Western tastes). Remember to sign the lobby wall before you leave!
