Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi is 10 km from the hostel, while Kuttam Pokuna, Twin Ponds is 10 km away. Sigiriya Airport is 64 km from the property. We had a wonderful budget-friendly stay in Anuradhapura! The room was clean and comfortable. The highlight of our stay was the host, Sampath – he was incredibly friendly, helpful, and made us feel right at home. He even helped us arrange transport and gave great local tips for exploring the ancient city. The peaceful surroundings and homely atmosphere made it a relaxing and memorable experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a warm, affordable stay in Anuradhapura!
