    One of the best Rest Houses in the country. Many rest houses are not maintained properly. Some rest houses are closed. But Ratnapura Rest House is in superb condition . Rest house is in very close proximity to the town (walking distance). There are two newly built rooms and other rooms are in first floor and ground floor. Non Air Condition category is Rs.2500-3000/=. Affordable prices. There is a restaurant where you could have your meals (Breakfast , Lunch and Dinner). There is a wedding hall for reception. Ample parking space. Two entrances. These rest houses are run by Sri Lanka Tourist board. Wedding couples come here for wedding photographs 📷. This Rest House is an Archeological Monument. Excellent.

    Beautiful rest house constructed with the influence of colonial architecture. Scenic location. Situated on a cliff with a great view. Easily accessible. Service, rooms, food and everything was great. Prices were reasonable. Friendly staff. Highly recommended for anyone who is searching for a place to stay in Ratnapura.

    Unbeatable value for money. Air conditioned rooms with hot water at very reasonable rates. The service is excellent and there's ample parking. The location is very close to the city centre.

  • 1/5 Sumedha R. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) They did not give a bottle of water to the rooms. There were 2 cameras. There was no kerat, no towels. Every last piece is not harmed in this world. (Original) කාමරවලට වතුර බෝතලයක්වත් දෙන්නේ නෑ.සබන් කෑලී 2 ක් තිබුනා.සීට්,තුවා මොකුත් නෑ.කෑම අන්තිම සවුත්තුයි මෙලොව රහක් නෑ.

    The room I stayed was infested with cockroaches and giant spider. Even worse the room smells as if someone smoked like right before I checked in. Since its official travel I didn't stay in the room but, there are few that could be improved. 1. Electrical appliances - no tv, ac works weirdly only 16°C, ac remote does not work, ceiling fan works only at max speed. 2. Food - prices are exorbitant, limited choice when I asked mix F/R its not available. 3. Service - generally ok but, I asked for my bed tea at 6 but didn't get it on time. 4. Cleanliness - 👎👎👎👎👎.

    Lovely Colonial Type Property with excellent Food. Great Lunch along a beer just made my day. Washroom was very clean and helpful staff service. Thank you uncle and see you soon.

  • 5/5 Sujeewa R. 8 months ago on Google
    Great place. There is nothing to complain about the price. This place has a long history of good service as this is a very established place. The rooms were clean and tidy. There was ample space to put our bags and stuff. The A/C worked fine. A broken TV bracket was there, but a TV was not promised, so it was a bit odd. The bathroom was clean. There was a good set of furniture. The service was great. The staff was kind, thoughtful, and very attentive.

    Came for lunch with quite a large group. Took more than 1 hour to bring our food. We ordered 2 pork red curries less spicy as we had 2 kids who cant eat spicy food. But the amount of spice those two included were to much even for a grown adult. And lastly, we were overcharged. Pork Red curry was around but they billed for something else which was much more pricey than what we ordered. Never ever go to this godforsaken place even if you're about to die of hunger.

    Good place to have a chat with friends.

  • 4/5 Pradeep S. 6 months ago on Google
    You can find this place on the top of the pretty mountain near the middle of Ratnapura city. Very peaceful place to relax your mind. Foods and beverages are tasty. Nice place to have a drink with your amicable, and they are selling many kinds of liquors. This place is an archaeological tower. So the entire place looks and takes you to the 20th century. Most of this place is surrounded by the forest. When you come here you may forget that you are in the middle of the city of Ratnapura.

    What a sham! Avoid like the plague. A tea costs Rs 300 for a cup of hot water and a tea bag. Unforgivable . The worst possible stop ever made.
