    I recently stayed at The Sanctuary At Tissawewa for a few nights and had a fantastic experience. The hotel is located in a beautiful and peaceful area, surrounded by lush gardens inhabited by monkeys and birds. The staff were incredibly attentive and the food in the restaurant was delicious. The building itself is full of character and the rooms are spacious and well-furnished. The air conditioning worked perfectly, ensuring a comfortable night's sleep. The breakfast served at the hotel was a refreshing change from the typical buffet breakfasts offered elsewhere. We also enjoyed borrowing bikes from the hotel and exploring the nearby Tissawewa tank and Royal Park. a wonderful stay.

    I would be happy to recommend this hotel.

    Located in parkland, it's very peaceful and quiet - perfect for a relaxing stay. The rooms are spacious, with nice touches and good air con - just what you need in the Sri Lankan heat. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring we had a comfortable stay. The breakfast was fantastic, with unique baked goods served each morning.

    This hotel is a real gem! The large garden with monkeys and peacocks is stunning, and it's right in the center of the religious city with historic sites nearby. The basic rooms have nice touches and comfy beds, and the unique baked goods at breakfast are delicious.

    We loved this hotel's location near ancient sites and free bike rental. The veranda was perfect for monkey watching, and the Sri Lankan curry was the best we had. The staff were very sweet and provided good service.

    Nothing that we didn't like.

    Great colonial-style hotel, very charming, with a large garden, comfortable and well-sized rooms with good quality bedding. the staff is very friendly and helpful, offering support to access local sights. A good breakfast and dinner served with plenty of options to choose from. Best aspects: the hotel location is excellent, with easy access to important historical sights, the temple, and the royal garden. the town is ideal for getting lost in local markets, admiring the architecture, and enjoying the local cuisine. You can also rent bikes and explore the surrounding nature.

    The hotel is a bit overpriced. Some areas need improvements.

    The hotel is conveniently located near many tourist sites, making it easy to explore the ancient stupas, Isurumuniya, and Ranmasu uyana. The staff is polite and eager to please, providing good service throughout our stay. The hotel also offers delicious curries in the evening, and the breakfast served is first class. The spacious rooms are well-appointed, and the bathrooms are clean and nicely designed. Additionally, the hotel provides driver accommodation, which is a great convenience for guests.

    The air conditioning in the rooms took quite a long time to cool down, and the water pressure in the showers was inconsistent, requiring constant adjustment.
