Providing garden views, Man Guest Polonnaruwa in Polonnaruwa offers accommodations, a garden, and a shared lounge.

Clean, quiet, and safe. Lovely balcony views overlooking vivid paddy fields. The wife and husband who greeted us were very helpful and friendly. Man View is very convenient to the ancient city and to places to get a bite to eat or something from the pharmacy, etc. They lent us bikes to explore and offered transportation onward. The price was excellent. We would happily stay here again.

Great place with nice hosts. The beds were comfortable, and the room facilities were good, with all the necessary amenities included. Breakfast wasn't provided, but there's a space available to have meals if you bring food from outside. A/C worked very well.

    great hosts who helped us with cycle hire for the ancient city and onward transport. The property is tucked away from the main road so is quiet but close to the ancient city entrance. Very reasonably priced for what you get.

    The guest house is a great location, just down the road from the ancient city and I rented a bike to go and explore it. Food was amazing from the host, some of the best I had in Sri Lanka. I would definitely recommend a stay. Especially as a solo traveller it was a nice break for two nights.

    Very cute, family run guest house close to the ruins. Lovely hosts, quiet, terrific breakfast (and dinner with much-needed beer upon request). Highly recommended.
