Cinnamon Lodge Habarana is a peaceful, nature-filled hotel with a beautiful garden setting and a relaxing lake nearby. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, and the staff are very friendly and helpful, which makes the stay feel warm and welcoming. The food is tasty with a good variety of Sri Lankan and international dishes, and the large pool and open green spaces create a calm resort atmosphere that is perfect for unwinding after visiting nearby sites like Sigiriya and Dambulla
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.
A wonderful, comfortable place to stay. It is located in a really convenient place if you wish to walk to cafes, restaurants, bars, shops and laundry services. The rooms/grounds/environment are very nice, sitting next to Habarana Lake and you will share the grounds with nature. The food was wonderful, especially the local Sri Lankan dishes. However, the best thing about this place is the staff - absolutely brilliant - friendly, helpful and attentive.
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.
DDon Thusitha - AustraliaThis is a basic budget hotel for just to stay one night or maximum 2 nights. Nature and environment is good. Near paddy field. Close to Main road also. Quiet area.
Staff are friendly and helpfull.
However, bedding mattress are very thin and not good for long stay. Not comfy mattress. There were no table and chair for work and TV as per mentioned at the time of booking. I strongly say do not take meals from the hotel. Very expensive and ripping off. Just a small cup of tea was Rs. 250.00. Normally Rs. 120.00. This is.more than double is very unfair. Also water bottles, and everything are high price. So better stay without meals.
Air condition and wi-fi is very good. Water pressure is good.
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.

耳耳東氵罒幸一止Ismattha Hotel Anuradhapura is easy to locate and nearby to the local sights.
we checked in pretty late and was still greeted by the reception with a big smile, appreciate their kindness and quick arrangements for check in and dinner at the restaurant was simply delicious.
room walls can be pretty thin though, so light sleepers should ask for a corner room, cuz can hear guests walking pass outside.
hotel parking is easy and safe, one key point for self drive tourists.
there's a nice pool which we didn't get to use but from the pool, one can relax an see local trains pass by, so it's pretty cool.
breakfast is simple but delicious and the staff are simply like friends welcoming you into their homes.
SSL Travel in JapanI 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

ผผู้เข้าพักLoved the way Roshan communicated to meet our needs … even for a one night stay.
He organised our half day safari & we enjoyed a fabulous meal the night before … such a variety of dishes, all home cooked … yummy
The place was amazing … very new & in excellent condition. They were not fully booked & so we were offered an upgrade.
His niece, Nikki?, accompanied us on the safari at no extra cost … her knowledge of birds & other wildlife really enhanced our experience. She willingly shared her photos with us, along with her excellent spotting ability.
Thanks to everyone who contributed in some way to a memorable weekend
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.
