    We had a lovely stay here. The host, Sandaru was exceptionally helpful. He looked after us well. Food was good. He arranged for us to prepare milk rice to offer to Maha seya. Provided us all the utensils that we needed. All staff were super helpful. Would definitely recommend and would visit again for sure.

    We spent one night here during our visit to Anuradhapura. A hotel that provides very good service. All the facilities in the rooms we got were at a good level. Very good clean bathrooms and rooms and good friendly service was provided. They provided the necessary facilities especially for the milk food offering. As for the food, it is an average buffet. I think it would be worth adding a few more dishes to it. Regarding the dinner and breakfast buffet, we had a wide range of choices. However, with very good surroundings, this hotel is located at a distance that can quickly reach the Pooja Bhumi.

    Lovely and clean hotel. Very accommodative staff. They let us inspect the rooms before we made our decision to stay. Food was tasty. Even room service was efficient. Overall great place to stay. We stayed for 2 nights. This will be the hotel we will stay when we come back to anuradhapura.

    We stayed here for 1 night, The place seems to be a new place and the rooms are clean and big. They have spent a lot to make the rooms a very luxurious room and I can agree with it with the furniture and other details they have thought of. It's next to a super paddy field and the wind makes you really relaxed. The food is really good and even the buffet is good when compared with other places in Anuradhapura. They even prepared milk rice in the early morning for our religious activities but had to request it 2 or 3 times, but they cooked it on time the next morning. so thanks for that too. On the last day, they even allowed us to stay a little late without making a big fuss about the check-out times. I think that helped us really well to relax more before the train ride back to colombo. All in all, for the price of the full board rate, I would recommend this place to anyone whose looking out for a stay in Anuradhapura, and it's really worth it.

    The rooms were really really good. Super comfortable, spacious and clean. The view from the balcony is nice too.The service was quite welcoming too. However, wouldn't recommend having food from here. It would be worthwhile if you just got to room to stay in and eat from the various restaurants around the area... Would recommend Kubura and Ambul, both of which are 5 mins away from Earl's Rajarata

    Great accommodation close to the nearby temples. Bottled water and wifi are provided. The restaurant on the top floor has amazing views of the surrounding area, and at night, you can see the 3 nearby stupas lit up.

    One of the finest hotel in Sri Lanka. We didn't expect we'll get that kind of hotel service and it was fantastic food was excellent quality and we enjoyed it so much also the price of everything reliable. Staff did the best service and they are friendly, kind and very helpful. Location make us so peaceful and it feels so calm. Earl's Rajarata can guarantee to client can get the best service room and location. It was great to have good time with Earl's Rajarata made us nice beautiful memory in our vacation Thank you Earl's Rajarata

    FAMILIES SHOULD THINK TWICE. The room was good but the only facility we expected was hot water since I had my two kids with me, may it be a breakdown or may it be the fact that they cut it off but they didn't even try to provide us that facility. We paid for that but as soon as we got there, we had hot water but then, they cut it off. This was not worth our money. 🙄

    Stayed here for a single night in a triple room on full board basis. Room was very specious and had good amenities. Quality meals and service are totally worth for the price. Another worthwhile mention is quiet atmosphere away from the city. Would visit again.

    Earls Rajarata hotel in Anuradapura can be recommended for international and local guests. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful especially for the elders. They took care of us till our checkout. The hotel’s lift is in order.

  • 4/5 Nirosha F. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice small hotel, very clean rooms and the staff is very obliging and helpful. Room prices are very reasonable and it has a restaurant with a limited menue. Hotel is located less than 3 km's away from the attractions in Anuradhapura.

    1. We had a small cockroach 🪳 in our bed, we had a 4 yr old with us. Had to completely re check the bed and goto sleep after a tiresome drive of more than 210 km and pilgrimage visit. 2. Washrooms get a small may be due to hard water. Need to use air freshener. 3. Air conditioning was not working properly, had to get a service guy to come and clean the AC filter, the AC filter was so blocked. Then the AC worked well 4. We stayed on BB the spread was not value for money. However the food was not great but ok. Feel they can better the spread for the price they charge. 5. At the time of checking the staff could be seen walking around with towels and brushing there teeth at the lower deck. This hotel has potential if it's managed well.

    I booked this hotel for my daughter’s birthday over the phone from Colombo. From my 1st call to end of the event they have given the best customer service so far. The management and the staff were very friendly and supportive. Every single thing for the party has arranged by themselves. Music , deco , food and tables. We really admired about their service when we stepped in to the hotel. It was a great heartwarming welcome. Also the food was really great. Staff members were really supportive. Very clean and relax place for evening gatherings. I wanted to thank again the management and all staff( specially to Lakshi) who made that day very special for us.

    The hotel restaurant had the same very basic food items served on both occasions(dinner and breakfast), which was unacceptable. Dinner and breakfast were extremely poor, and the hotel's price was quite high and did not meet expectations. However, the front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The room design and arrangements are impressive, including the bathrooms. but not recommended for a satisfactory stay.

  • 5/5 Eranga F. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a wonderful stay 02 nights, 03 days visit to Anuradhapura. Actually not in the hotel premises, near by premises owned by them, room only basis. All the new ameneties was thr & very personilzed too. If you are taking meals you have to go to their Main hotel. We had two meals from them which was also good. Special thanks to Ms. Achini for her kindness & the flexibility. They allowed us a really late check out as we got really late to return hotel after our long journey from Thanthirimale, we were comfortable having the room to relax & change. This is the ideal place for relaxing at a reasonable price.

    It's an up and coming hotel. Place was very quiet. Still maintenance is been done since its 1 and half year old hotel. Hope fully they can finish all the accessories and get it to their siblings such as earl's regent chain hotels. Rooms were new and fresh. Bathrooms need bit more elbow grease. Hopefully it will be better next time we visit. It's 2km away from the ancient city.

    Great place to stay in Anuradhapura! The rooms were nicely designed and cleaned properly and I would really recommend this place to anyone who expects a clean and calm place to stay. Along with that I really appreciate the service the staff offered. One of my family members had a leg injury therefore was not able to go upstairs for meals but the staff was so kind and nice enough to get him all the needs . They were so kind and helpful and if really value the staff at Earl's Rajarata. However it would be better if the hotel had a lift because then it would have being easier for the guests. Could have improved on the meals they had limited options yet it was all cooked and prepared well so was not much of an issue. Also it would have being better if the hotel invest a little more on advertising because we found it a little difficult to find the hotel because they didnt have any sign boards at the begining of the side road. Yet it was worth the stay! Highly recommend this Hotel to anyone.

    This place was clean and basic amenities were good. Sri Lankan food was delicious. Staff is extremely helpful and trying their best to treat the guests to the maximum level with the available facilities. Especially the Restaurant staff, including Stewert Dilan, reservations officer Prasanna were very hospitable. This place is still growing and I believe in couple of months this project will be fully facilitated and completed. Elevator was under fixing when we were there. It was very homely and travel safe. Good luck for them!

  • 3/5 Kashuni K. 1 year ago on Google
    Stayed here on a Saturday night in November 2022. The hotel might be difficult to locate without navigation since there are no directions on the road until you reach the location and see the building. Rooms were quite nice and comfortable with a spacious balcony overlooking a paddy field. Only downside was that hot water in the bathroom was not working properly or consistently. All three meals we had were buffet-style but with very limited variety and some items being repeated over meals, which was noticeable because of the limited variety. For dessert, there was only ice-cream during lunch, ice-cream and jelly during dinner, and fruits during breakfast. We were inquired of our meal preferences in the morning prior to arrival, to arrange the lunch menu. But at the buffet the food items were marked as veg and non-veg only, so we had to get help from the staff to tell the non-veg items apart. Restaurant was located at the rooftop (3rd floor) and you can step out to enjoy a beautiful 360-degree view. Staff was friendly, specially at the restaurant. No complaints about the overall service except for one situation when the reception and the staff was not available when we needed some help around 9.30-10 in the night. The lift was under construction so we had to use the stairs, but the staff helped carry our luggage. During reservation they inquired if there was anyone with difficulty using stairs, so they can arrange their rooms on the ground floor. Overall, it was an okayish stay with some disappointments here and there. But it should be mentioned that Earl's Rajarata did not live upto standard compared to our experience at other hotels in the Earl's hotel chain.

    Whilst checking the availability itself I asked if this hotel had anything to do with the earls chain of hotels and the answer was yes. As a person who had been to other earls hotels I expected somewhat the same in this hotel too. Unfortunately we had a very bitter experience in this hotel. We were told the meals were buffet when we checked in. And the dinner was served at 8:30. V came for dinner by 9:30 but all we walked in was an almost empty buffet!!!! Only had 4 pieces of chicken which were bones coz they never replenish. Next day morning v went for breakfast at 8:00 which was the time they start. But the only option to eat was lake fish curry which is not everyone’s choice at all. When asked they said there’s boiled eggs which never was seen during breakfast. Probably they were talking about something they were putting for lunch!! Further there wasn’t even milk for tea or coffee which is the VERY basic for breakfast. Even a lame place by the road would have that option available. When I asked for milk they said that’s available in the room and all I found was රත්තී කිරි තේ packet and I’d liked to know how to make milk coffee from that. End of the day I think this hotel is ruining the reputation Earl’s chain is keeping and this is a total disappointment for the price u pay. This place is just good on room only basis. And whoever wants to stay here need to fetch food from outside. So we DO NOT recommend this hotel for anyone.

    They were extremely accommodating and allowed us to check in early .We got to hotel super early and I didn’t wanna wait. So this was a big plus. The sevice was exceptional as well. The foods and the rooms conditions are very impressive.Near to the sacred places.It’s also a great privilege.And highly satisfied with the staff too.Hope to visit once again & Would definitely send a friend there.I recommend to everyone who’s looking for a great stay.

  • 2/5 Devashan K. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent place. The staff are good, but if you booked for full board you can’t even choose your food. very limited. If you order anything, be sure they will say no. Food is the only issue. Other than that, the hotel and location are great.
