    Accommodation Issues Despite Good Staff

    I had a really disappointing experience with the accommodation. The first room (the first five pictures) was filthy and clearly hadn’t been cleaned in ages. The worst part was finding termites at the head of the bed, which kept us up at night with noise, and in the morning, we even discovered termite droppings on our pillows! After some insistence, we were moved to another room for our second night. Unfortunately, the second room was even worse. While the bathroom was somewhat cleaner, there was a significant fungus growing in the corner due to a leak from the rain. To make matters worse, on a rainy evening, water started seeping through the wall. Within just 25 minutes, our passport and electronic devices on the nightstand were soaked (as shown in the pictures), and mold was clearly visible on the damp walls. This wasn’t just unpleasant; it posed a health risk. After voicing our complaints, they initially offered us a 10% discount on the room, which felt like a joke. In the end, they settled on a 15% discount. Still a joke, but that was all they were willing to provide. To me, these rooms felt like a scam. The only positives were the pool and the staff, which were the silver lining in an otherwise frustrating stay.

    Pleasant Stay at Bella Vista Hotel

    I had a lovely and relaxing time at Bella Vista Hotel in Anuradhapura with my family and relatives. The hotel offers all the amenities and luxuries you’d expect from a high-end establishment. The pool table and swimming pool are perfect for unwinding, relaxing, and enjoying some recreational fun. The peaceful environment is also ideal for anyone needing to work remotely during a business trip. Overall, it’s a fantastic value for the price! I highly recommend it! 💯 I would definitely choose this hotel again for future visits to Anuradhapura! 🙌

    Great view and helpful staff

    The room offered an amazing view, and the staff were incredibly accommodating and supportive. The food was quite comforting. The room and bathroom were clean, and a heater was also provided.

    Mixed experience with staff and service

    The staff could be more pleasant when interacting with customers. At this hotel, they turn off the lights at 9:30 PM, and we weren't informed of that policy before our arrival. In the triple rooms, they don't provide linens for the extra bed. When it comes to meal service, they are reluctant to adjust the timing by even 30 minutes, and their attitude feels inappropriate for a hotel. While the rooms are nice, the service leaves much to be desired, as we are here to enjoy a holiday rather than adhere to strict rules.

    Charming stay with exceptional service

    Hotel Bella Vista turned out to be a delightful and unexpected find. We initially booked the sister hotel, which is quite remote in the jungle, but were graciously allowed to switch our reservation to Bella Vista in town. This location was much more convenient for exploring the historical sites. The room was lovely, featuring a balcony with a lovely view. The standout aspect of our stay was definitely the staff, who were all incredibly kind and welcoming. My daughter left behind her favorite toy, and the attentive receptionist at Bella Vista went above and beyond to send it to us in Negombo, even refusing to accept payment for the shipping. It arrived just in time before we left!

    Disappointing Experience at Hotel Bella Vista

    I recently visited Hotel Bella Vista in Anuradhapura. While the property shows promise, my overall experience was marred by the staff's attitude and unclear policies. Upon arrival, I had a positive impression of the boutique-style hotel; it was well-kept, with clean rooms, tidy bathrooms, and a pleasant pool area. However, things took a turn for the frustrating due to a lack of communication regarding important rules. We booked online and paid in advance, yet there was no mention of their strict policies on any booking platforms or during confirmation. One significant issue was the restaurant's cut-off time. We learned at check-in that they stop taking food orders after 9:30 PM, which is quite inconvenient for late arrivals or those hoping for some flexibility while on holiday. The most significant downside was the demeanor of the receptionist and a waitress. Their tone was often rude and unwelcoming. Since we were traveling with kids, instead of addressing situations in a polite manner, they frequently spoke harshly, demanding that we keep our children quiet. This hotel does not seem to cater well to families, so those seeking a relaxed getaway should reconsider. There was also an incident where a pool ball rolled downstairs through the railings while the kids played. We quickly apologized and stopped them, but the staff overreacted rather than handling it in a calm manner. Given that the pool table is close to unprotected railings, this situation could have been managed much more professionally. Another inconvenience was the lack of a blanket for the small bed in the triple room. When we asked for one, the response was unhelpful and unfriendly, and it was only given after we asked multiple times. It's a shame because the hotel itself is comfortable, and the room staff were polite and helpful. However, the negative behavior from the receptionist and waitress overshadowed the positives, leaving a bad impression. Overall, despite the clean rooms and decent amenities, the unclear rules and unprofessional service made our stay unpleasant. I wouldn't recommend this hotel for those seeking a stress-free and enjoyable experience, especially families, unless there's a significant improvement in guest treatment.

    Exceptional Stay in King Suite

    We had the pleasure of staying in the King Suite, which provided an outstanding experience. The room was incredibly spacious, easily accommodating six guests. Each bed was a large double, and the kids particularly loved the charming attic area. The hotel's cleanliness was top-notch, and the staff was dedicated to ensuring our comfort. The bathroom was also very tidy and well-appointed. The meals were served as set menus, featuring a nice variety of delicious options in generous portions. Every dish was flavorful, and we truly savored each meal. We also had a fantastic time in the swimming pool, which contributed to our overall relaxation. I want to express my heartfelt thanks to the manager and the entire staff for their wonderful service. During our visit, we explored several sacred and historical sites, including Ruwanwalisaya, Sri Maha Bodhiya, Thuparamaya, Abhayagiriya, Jethawanaramaya, Isurumuniya, Samadhi Pilimaya, Kuttam Pokuna, and Mihintale.

    Great meals at Bella Vista

    We enjoyed two fantastic meals at Bella Vista. Since we were staying at a nearby hotel that only offered rooms, we discovered Bella Vista and its outstanding cuisine. The breakfast was lavish and quite generous, featuring an omelette, fresh fruit, juice, Sri Lankan Dahl, and hoopas. We also dined here for dinner and were once again thoroughly impressed by the incredibly tasty food, which was beautifully presented and served by the wonderfully charming staff.

    Great stay with minor drawbacks

    The rooms are spacious, equipped with great air conditioning, comfy beds, and a flat-screen TV offering numerous English channels. We appreciated having an iron, the first one we've encountered on this trip. The balcony is a good size as well. The pool is nice, and the bar offers reasonable prices. Reception staff were helpful too.

    Great stay at Bella Vista Hotel

    We had a lovely time at Bella Vista Hotel. I had reserved a room for our family, and when we missed our train to Anuradhapura, they were very accommodating in changing our dates, which we really appreciated! The staff was fantastic, kind, and welcoming. We dined at the hotel every night, and the food was fantastic. The room was nice, had good air conditioning, and offered a beautiful view of the swimming pool. It felt so cozy, like a home away from home. Thank you for the excellent service and for making our experience in this incredible ancient city truly memorable! We have happy memories!
