    Ordered a fried rice. Found some egg shells. That’s not the case. I drove long way to get a rice from them because I like to get a Basmati rice. They gave me a kiri samba rice for same price Rs.980 which i can get from a normal Night kade. If they continue to do this.. I may have to fine another place. I’m a kind of disappointed

    Very nicely done but some small issues in bathrooms to be fixed. Water drain is higher or Slopes are in the wrong side. It's get wet all over. Late night checking in was led me to a discussion, as the security personnel requested my ID to hold. Better management educate the front office and late night checking in staff that documents of personnel Identification is not permitted by any third-party to hold as a guarantee. Very friendly first approach from the security personnel's. He even gave his private change money to pay the taxi. Highly appreciate their customer service 👏

    I recently dined at this restaurant and I must say, it exceeded my expectations in every way. The food was absolutely delicious, earning a solid 5/5 rating. Not only was the taste impeccable, but the prices were also very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes you receive. Dining in was a pleasant experience, with a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a great meal at a fair price.

    The rooms appear to be poorly maintained, and there are some issues with the bathroom that need attention. The temperature and water pressure in the shower cannot be controlled properly, and there is an unpleasant odor. Additionally, there are no carpets available to wipe one's feet, and there were mosquitoes and ants present. The rooms do not match the attractive appearance depicted in the photos. The buffet provided was mediocre, and the pool area seemed untidy and lacking cleanliness. However, I must note that the staff members were not at fault and provided satisfactory service. The overall experience was not worth the price paid.

    Visited for weekend buffet. But there were not many variety of foods. Had to be in line for so long to get the food. Most of the foods were over. Only had egg kottu and yellow rice. Desert was also over. There were not enough foods for people. Very poor management. Everything was fine if there is enough foods for everyone.

    Dirty, full of dirth in rooms and in the Hall of the hotel. The pool water was a kind of dark green colour and there were cats that were drinking from there. Breakfast horrible and full of insects in a dirty breakfast room. We wait 45 min to have a tea that never comes. Staff gave us some tips completely wrong and we lost lot of time in reaching the ancient city of anuhradapura. Bad hotel and bad staff. DO NOT COME HERE

    Horrible.. Horrible.. place to stay! Worst ever place I have stayed. When we were planning the trip we called the place and booked the rooms without any hassle. However, one of the key thing we wanted to have a place where we can take food inside the hotel. They said it can be done. So we ordered the lunch around 12.00 PM, on the way and said we will reach there at 2 PM. We reached the place at 2.15 PM. We wanted to take lunch before we check in. They kept us waited till 3 PM and arranged the lunch just aside the pool which is a total mess with day outing groups. No buffet. When we asked they said their restaurant is being repaired and they didn't tell this prior. Rooms are kind of ok. But had a big trouble in getting the doors open, some keys are missing, some are not working. Had concrete pillars inside the rooms! Like hide and seek. Interior was so much color full and not relaxing at all. Rooms are not sound proof and can hear the snoring sounds in adjecent rooms. No water in taps in the morning due to high usage and later it became ok when usage was reduced. Less staff and they are struggling to provide the service. I carried my bags by myself in the morning as there were no staff. Price reasonable. All in all its a very shaggy place to stay.

    Well experience and friendly staff with very good service. Food is excellent and clean. Rooms are clean but bathrooms need to upgrade since it was not up to the stand what we expected. Pool area is very clean and well maintained. Ample parking avilable with the hotel. Recomend early reservations.

    Very nice hotel, located near the center of Anuradhapura. The temples can be visited easily by tuktuk starting from the hotel. The people working there are very, very friendly and helpful: they helped us find the best way to our next stop (Sigiriya). The pool is beautiful and the food was good. The rooms were neat!

  • 4/5 Crypto M. 10 months ago on Google
    Everything was great until one house keeper opened my room door (triple) at midnight with a duplicate keycard, it was literally 1:30 am. He was looking for a beer can for his “boss” it seem. This kind of behavior is totally unacceptable and this concerns my privacy too and many other guest. I hope the management takes strict decisions on this acknowledgment. Thanks.

    A place deserves 7 Stars 🌟 The best ever hotel I have ever seen in Sri Lanka, for such an affordable price. Most amazing thing is they accept pets as well. Team Umeshaa, Ajantha and Hiruna were very supportive for us from the first day of reservation made. I booked this for my family from UK, and their communication and customer service is at next level 💕 They always kept contacting me and put their best ever effort to make all the arrangements I have requested. We have even got a special promotion to VVIP suit. And my family confirmed that their food is very tasty 🥰 A MUST GO PLACE 💕 I have seen all the videos and photos and even my pet seems so excited and happy with their high standard hospitality. The hotel is very clean and sooooooo beautiful 😍😍😍 you can’t even expect this much of standard for such an affordable price. There’s no bad thing to stay. I recommend this hotel for everyone 💯 Everything is perfect and High standard. Specially Ms. Umesha and her teams high standard hospitality and prompt communication 💕 And my family confirmed that all the staff in the hotel are Very supportive. A MUST STAY PLACE for everyone who loves to visit anuradhapura. You can worship the Secret Temples with stress free mind of thinking of your pets, as well as you can get the relaxation you deserve at the same time 🥰 I would never think twice to reserve this place again ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Dont ever go to this disgusting hotel. I was there with my family on 28 th for a night. Though our checking time was 2 pm , we were there in the lobby waiting for more than 45 minutes. After that we went to our room. There were no water bottles or towels. We tried to call the reception and get the stuff, the phone was also broken. Then we went to wash room, the wash room was dirty and on the floor there was a full of shampoo. The bed sheets was smelly and full of dirty patches. After sometime the A/C was start leaking water. Finally we were fed up with the dirty room and went to swimming pool to get relax. The swimming pool was extremely dirty and I have never seen such dirty pool ever. The whole experience was extremely disappointing and we felt we spent money for nothing. The pictures in this post is old and the hotel is not looking like this. So don't waste your money going this disgusting place.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at the White House Hotel in Anuradhapura, and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment I stepped foot into the hotel, I was greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. The staff at White House Hotel truly go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and comfortable. They were always available to assist with any inquiries or requests I had, and their friendly demeanor made me feel right at home. It's always an added bonus when you can connect with the staff on a personal level, and that is exactly what I experienced at this hotel. The room arrangements at White House Hotel were simply stunning. The attention to detail and the aesthetics were impeccable. It was evident that the hotel took great care in ensuring that each room was not only comfortable but also visually pleasing. The thoughtfulness in the design and layout of the rooms truly added to the overall experience of my stay. The hotel's location is also worth mentioning. Situated in Anuradhapura, it offers easy access to some of the most spectacular historical and cultural sites in Sri Lanka. Exploring the ancient city and returning to the cozy comfort of White House Hotel was truly a remarkable combination. Overall, I cannot recommend the White House Hotel enough. The friendly service and beautiful room arrangements made my stay truly memorable. If you're looking for a place that embodies the true spirit of hospitality and offers a visually stunning experience, look no further than the White House Hotel in Anuradhapura.

    Popped into the poolside bar during a city/nationwide power outage. Nice, crisp and cool Lion Beer went down nicely. Serenaded by a dedicated duo with full range of movie love songs... bittersweet

  • 5/5 Roshan R. 5 months ago on Google
    A very nice hotel to stay with family. The rooms were very nice and clean. A lot of amenities like a swimming pool, badminton court, pool table, etc are available. The restaurant is also good at serving delicious food. The staff is very humble and polite. Overall you will enjoy your stay here.

  • 2/5 Waruna I. 2 years ago on Google
    Minuses 1. Darn dirty! 2. The rooms are horrendously grotesque!! 3. Their LED light blink away and sometimes are either too bright or too dim. 4. Nil maintenance. Now for the pluses. 1. Affordable 2. The food was palatable (though nothing to write home about) 3. Their shower gel smelled nice.

    Spent an awesome time at Hotel White House with my family during our pilgrimage to Anuradhapura. They were very flexible on room reservation. They serve quality food. From receptionist to steward the staff is friendly and they do respect the guests and take good care of them.

  • 3/5 Travelling Sri L. 7 months ago on Google
    The rooms were luxurious, but they needed some maintenance. They were worth the price, but the food was not the best. I would not say it was even good. It needs to improve drastically. The staff is doing their best, but they need more guidance on running a proper hotel.

  • 5/5 lakmini r. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a hotel with good hospitality and super clean in the premises as well.The pool , playing areas and also other services are there to make the visitor much happier.Foods and meals are delicious and also they serve it well..

  • 4/5 Sasadara A. 5 years ago on Google
    Staff is good, friendly and very supportive. Rooms have nice themes. Toilet is broken. It didn't flush well. Other than that this place is great for a vacation. Try to stay in a themed room.

  • 2/5 John W. 5 years ago on Google
    Had high hopes after reading reviews but was really disappointed. My meal was pleasant enough but in contrast, my wife had kottu roti, which was basically small broken chicken bones, skin, and egg. When we questioned this, the waiter told us they made it like this to be more delicious and its the Sri Lankan way. We've eaten a lot of kottu before and this was by far the worst. Every mouthful was inedible. Also, they charge LKR 800 for a beer - over twice the price of everywhere else we've been. Shame

  • 5/5 Seuwandi S. 5 years ago on Google

👍👍 There are a couple of similar restaurants next to each other - I chose that one as it looked very cosy - with palm leaves on the ceiling. A couple of egg rotis, curries and chiabatis later the belly was very content that I went in there. Great food!
