Clean and comfortable rooms. Not having an elevator made it a little hard for older parents to get to the rooms in the second floor.

Friendly staff with good sri Lankan food.
The staff was so friendly and willing to help all the time. During the first day two young boys were so fast with the breakfast serving but during the second day it was damn slow. But the food was so nice and the it had the real sri lankan flavor. The room was renovated in recent time the room is in a good condition.

Lovely staff but slightly tired hotel
We booked 2 rooms for the kids and us since they did not have a triple room during our stay. The rooms were spacious and relatively clean. However the bathrooms had problems. The sink didn't work in one room so we were moved to different rooms. The sink in one of the new rooms had a similar problem but we sorted that out with hand plunging and boiling water. The staff were very nice and helpful and we felt bad asking them to sort out various problems with the remote, A/C, etc. They did sort everything out for us quite quickly. Overall a functional family-friendly hotel with a good pool, a pretty good location, nice staff and nice food. This is a mid range hotel and I would assume one of the better ones in Anuradapura.

Never again
Started off on a bad note. Don’t expect to get the room you booked online .We were given a room with two single beds instead of the double deluxe .The staff said to bad that’s all we have even though we booked in advance . The solution just push them together . Very poor reception and service. Breakfast was very below par . The shower head fell and cut my husbands foot . Would not recommend booking on line as you do not get what you book.

It is located in a convenient location. Staff is friendly. They asked for my wife's ID too, probably because we are locals. Room is small, it has 2 single bets cant merged together. The terrible thing was AC went down in the night, seems chiller was switched off in the night. I didn't have a good sleep. The bathroom was bit outdated and stains on the commode. Garden and pool are wonderful. Food is good.

While the hotel itself was pretty good, they gave us a ground floor pool facing room which meant we could never open our curtains and let the sunlight in. Also, our phone was broken and so i had to go every time to the reception to get things done, even room service and housekeeping etc.

Excellent hotel to stay in Anuradhapura
Rajarata is an excellent hotel with good service from its staff. It is clean, comfortable and provides friendly atmosphere. I won't mind staying in the hotel if I have to visit Sri Lanka again in the near future. I would strongly recommend this place to anyone planning to visit Anuradhapura.
