Man Guest Polonnaruwa, hotel in Polonnaruwa

Located within 200 metres of Polonnaruwa Clock Tower and 1 km of Deepa Uyana in Polonnaruwa, Man Guest Polonnaruwa offers accommodation with seating area.

The guesthouse is situated near a rice field, away from the main road so you will hear no noise. The host is always ready to help (they live on the ground floor) and answer all our requests. The host can arrange you different activities (National Park safari, lake safari, etc, a bit expensive for our taste) and will give you information related to the main attractions in Polonnaruwa.

Lake Cabin, hotel in Polonnaruwa

Located in Polonnaruwa, 2.5 km from Gal Viharaya and 2.9 km from Polonnaruwa Vatadage, Lake Cabin offers air conditioning. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi....

They're not enough stars for this amazing place, tranquility by the lake, amazing host... Nothing was too much trouble for him, he went over and above hospitality. OMG, takes your breath and senses into a different dimension. Organised lake trip with lady guide to see the birds, buffalo and spot elephants. I had a bad cough infection and his wife brewed me up a concoction. Have I mentioned how amazing this human being is that runs this place, warm, polite, beautiful breakfast. Went out of his way time and time again to help us... Lost for words.

Luxman Guest House, hotel in Polonnaruwa

Offering free bikes, Luxman Guest House is located at a 10-minute walk from the Polonnaruwa Railway Station. Free WiFi access is available.

We loved staying at Luxman’s guesthouse. Luxman is a sweetheart and gave us lots of tips for transport and eating cheap. His guesthouse is simple but has everything you need plus more. It’s situated just off the busy central street of Polonnaruwa. Luxman provided us free bikes to explore the amazing Polonnaruwa ruins (cycling was a really enjoyable way to explore it). He also provides a washing machine to use for free. So convenient. We would recommend this guesthouse to anyone exploring the area or stopping for a night.
