Расположен неплохо: полчаса пешком от автостанции (2 км), на тук-туке 300 рупий (85 руб), это общая цена для такого расстояния по всей стране для ориентира. По этой самой центральной дороге вся местная инфраструктура: пара супермаркетов, банкоматы, множество лавок с едой, одеждой, мелочами, чуть далее рынок и торговля фруктами. К отелю ведет боковая дорога, основной ориентир к нему - местная больница. На углу поворота к отелю местная едальня, которую хвалили в отзывах, мы там не ели, поэтому ничего сказать не могу, но местные там сидели каждый вечер.
У отеля тихая дорога, большие машины там не ходят, симпатичная зеленая территория. Нас сразу заселили. Если нужно, кормят завтраком, у нас с собой была еда из дома, поэтому мы завтрак не заказывали. Чайника в номере нет, но по запросу хозяйка приносит большой заварочный чайник с горячей водой и чашками. Холодильника в номере тоже нет, но главное есть кондиционер. Комплиментарная бутылка воды, есть фумигатор - сразу включайте. Есть мыло, шампунь, жидкое мыло для рук.
Отель предлагает спа, обширную развлекательную программу: аренда транспорта, экскурсии, сафари. Сами ничем не пользовались, гуляли сами, но сделала фото с ценами для информации.
Что стоит учитывать:
- всего одна розетка, берите свой тройник;
- сильный запах нафталина в ванной, скорее всего, или борются с насекомыми, или с запахом/плесенью из труб;
- ванная визуально требует ремонта (пятна от плесени и т.п.), но скорее всего он поможет ненадолго, т.к. такой климат и с этим надо просто смириться и расслабиться.
Really good location. Parking for 3 cars, no more. But safety and convenient. Good shower, good plumbing. Purity. There are snakes and lizards in the territory. They provided only one bottle of water for two person per day.
My booking was for 3 Double Deluxe King beds with lake views rooms, and I'm not happy because:
The rooms I booked were not the ones I got it. They told me the pictures were wrong, but they are still on the website, so be sure you finally get the rooms you booked.
Only 1 of the 3 rooms had lake views, the other 2 rooms were not lake views.
TV didn't work in one of the rooms.
All the 3 rooms need improvement.
I attached the picture of the room it was supposed I got it, but I didn't.
I contacted with reception desk 24 hours of arrival day asking for safari prices and they answered me one day after at 21 pm, so if you stay only for 1 or 2 days, this is a really late answer.
So be sure when you book and paid for the Deluxe lake view room is the correct one.
For other hand, the breakfast amd dinner menu are plenty od good and different choices of food.
A lovely little homestay, very convenient for visiting the Pollonaruwa ancient city. It’s not a tourist town but worth a visit for a taste of central Sri Lanka. The family were very helpful and welcoming, and both dinner and breakfast were delicious. It’s a bit of a distance from town but there’s a very nice walk along the lake that takes you right to the ticket office.
I had an excellent stay at Hotel Sudu Araliya in Polonnaruwa! The location is absolutely stunning, offering breathtaking views and a serene ambiance. The highlight of my visit was witnessing the sunset – it was a truly magical experience.
The food was delicious, with a great variety to satisfy every palate. The staff provided exceptional customer service, always friendly and attentive to our needs, making the stay even more enjoyable.
If you're looking for a peaceful getaway with great views, excellent food, and warm hospitality, Hotel Sudu Araliya is the perfect choice. Highly recommended! 🌅🍽️✨
Rooms were ok, beds were very squeaky, when asked to change they were quick to resolve. Changed rooms and the bed linen in the new room had stains. Lucky there were two beds one room so just slept in that. Left as soon as we could. Never again
I recently stayed this hotel and overall had a wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect for exploring the area. The breakfast was also a nice touch—fresh and with a good variety.
However, the only downside was the Wi-Fi. It was either very slow or not working at all during most of my stay, which was a bit frustrating since I needed to do some work online. I mentioned it to the front desk, but unfortunately, the issue wasn’t resolved.
If you don’t rely heavily on internet access during your stay, this place is a great choice. But for remote workers or those needing reliable connectivity, keep this in mind
ผผู้เข้าพักWe extend our heartfelt gratitude for the commendable and truly exceptional service provided during our stay. It was our wedding anniversary time.
Every interaction was warm, friendly, and delivered beyond expectations.
The food was outstanding, with rich and flavourful bakery items and beautifully prepared curries that made each meal memorable.
Our room allocation and room service were handled with elegance and care. The spacious bathroom, generous amenities, and the breathtaking view added a special touch that we will never forget. Loss property service is admirable. I got my valuable shirt back—honest and True Values at Service by the staff.
The evening dinner with our family and friends was wonderfully arranged and thoughtfully catered—an experience we deeply cherished.
To Sanath, Janitha, and the entire team: thank you for making our anniversary stay both memorable and heartfelt.
A special appreciation also goes out to all service staff, security personnel, and support teams for their exceptional dedication.
We are truly grateful and look forward to returning.

アアザラチI highly recommend this place for your stay in Polonnaruwa.
You can enjoy a delicious Sri Lankan breakfast on the terrace nestled in a quiet forest. A short walk away is a lake where you can stroll along the shore or watch the sunset.
The room was very comfortable, equipped with everything you need for your stay, including air conditioning and a hot water shower.
We only stayed one night due to our itinerary, but I recommend staying longer if you have the time.
