I recently stayed at this hotel for one night, and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. Upon entering my room, I noticed that the floor had not been cleaned, with bottles scattered around. The bathroom, particularly the toilet, was evidently unclean, as indicated by the dirty seat. The shower glass was so filthy that it was hard to see through it. To make matters worse, I counted at least five mosquitoes in the room upon arrival, and there was no mosquito net in sight. The refrigerator was coated with a yellow film inside, the TV did not work, and the door handle was very loose. Additionally, the bed linens were slightly stained, the safe did not work, and there were toothpaste residues on the mirror. The window was not properly sealed, raising concerns about more insects entering the room. Breakfast was another disappointment. Guests were handling the food with their hands, ignoring the tongs provided, which were left lying on the food with their handles touching it—something I found quite unhygienic. While the selection of food was acceptable, the overall cleanliness was not. I would not recommend this hotel to other travelers. There are likely better options available that offer a cleaner and more pleasant experience.

This hotel provided pleasant food and a pool which was nice to cool off in. The facilities overall however were a bit dated and underwhelming. Yet we did enjoy a lovely evening walk around the lake at sunset. Overall it is good for a short stay but would not stay longer than a couple nights.

All staff ( Recepton, Food servers etc.) were Friendly & helpful. Room was Clean & comfortable. Food was of good quality & taste. Breakfast had two options, local / western breakfast. Both options had fruits, juice, tea/ coffee. Dinner was a-la-cart & had a few options to select from. The Soup & Dessert were the highlights , while the main course too was good. Although located in the city, the hotel is quiet & peaceful. There is an ancient lake nearby where one can go for walks. Overall the stay was very pleasant.

We have stayed at Lakeside many times in the past, from the time it used to be known as the Nuwarawewa Rest House. This is a beautiful place, very centrally located to all the historic sites in Anuradhapura. We stayed only one night, had a lunch and a dinner. The service at the hotel was excellent. Meals were fresh and delicious. Service was by Manoj who was friendly and professional. I have to make special mention of the honesty of staff. I have left behind my wallet with money, cards and US drivers license. This was found by room boy Lasantha and was handed over to the front office. Thilini from front office called me during our trip back to Colombo and made arrangements to deliver this herself. This is outstanding customer service by the staff at Lakeside, proving they are this hotel’s most valuable asset. The occupancy was low during our stay as we observed, and I feel some good marketing and promotional programs could help this place immensely. Thank you and we will visit again.

We only stayed for one night during our tour of Sri Lanka but the hotel was in the perfect location, close to historical sites but also lovely and quiet. Clean pool, clean room and great shower. Food and service excellent with a good good variety of cuisines and enjoyed the sandwiches for lunch as well as the traditional sri lankan curry and rice dishes in the evening. Prices great and staff very friendly and welcoming

This property offered value for money - it was cheap. In its heyday, it must have been a very nice hotel but maintenance has fallen behind over the years. The common areas are fine but the rooms and exterior/grounds are very tired and badly need to be updated. Perhaps the owners can't afford it - there were only 4 guests booked in on the night we stayed.

A lovely hotel with polite and professional staff. Rooms are spacious and beautifully clean. Small balconies and good air conditioning. Shower was hot and good water pressure. Evening meal options were excellent, varied menu, freshly cooked and good portions. Advised to pre order which was ideal. Perfect breakfast. Plenty of choice for Sri Lankan and western taste. Fresh baked cakes and biscuits. Most of the buffet was regularly refreshed (slight disappointment that fresh fruit appeared to run out just after 8am). Great options on egg station. Grounds need a bit of an update. Communal areas very nice. Fair price in bar and for dinner menu. Staff very helpful and will refill water bottles on request.
