The breakfast was absolutely delightful with a great variety of local and international dishes, all fresh and flavorful. The location was perfect—peaceful, yet close to key attractions and easy to access. It felt like a true getaway.
There was honestly nothing to dislike. Everything was well thought out, and the entire experience was smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable from start to finish.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The pool was super clean and well taken care of—great for a swim any time of day. The garden was so peaceful, I spent a lot of time just sitting there and relaxing. Breakfast was a real highlight too—fresh, tasty, and with a nice mix of local and international options. The staff were also really friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience even better.
Honestly, nothing to complain about. Everything went smoothly and I felt well taken care of the entire time.

The rooms were clean and the stay was really lovely. The breakfast did not have many options, but the food was really great. Last but not least the staff were GREAT, they were really helpful and friendly.
The only downside was that the hotel is located a bit far from the major attractions in Anuradhpura, but this is purely in comparison with other similar properties. But if you are okay with travelling a bit to reach those attractions, you will find no problem.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Alakamanda, Anuradapura Sri Lanka, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction. The luxurious and clean accommodations, comfy beds, coupled with exceptional service, made my stay truly memorable. My dining experience at the restaurant was truly exceptional. I would say the best food we had in Sri Lanka in my entire trip.
I can’t think any negatives other than the wet weather we experienced

Front office staff were helpful and pleasant.
The long stairs to the dining room were a challenge. The parking was really shabby. I'm sure the hotel will be more pleasant when the construction is finished.

The staff was very friendly and supportive. The location was good and the meals were great. We were provided fresh towels each day. The room was comfortable and spacious. The location was not very far off from the places we needed to visit. Overall a great stay.
There could have been more 13 Amp socket outlets in the room (There was only one). The water pressure was very high and could not be adjusted.

Excellent location, food, staff, room and pool facilities. Well maintained property with full of luxury. The room was so spacious and clean. We were offered welcome drinks and refreshments all inclusive for the B&B , which was so generous. Food was so good and tasty. Must stay again when we come back to sacred town.
Nothing to say.
