Set in Wasgamuwa in the Polonnaruwa District region, Wingate Hotel Wilgamuwa has a garden. There is an in-house restaurant and free private parking.

A good location for Wasgamuwa national park (20 mins from the park). The room was spacious and clean. We were grateful that they let us leave our bags for our morning safari. Staff were kind and friendly, although communicating was a little difficult.

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

It was an excellent experience staying at this place. Rooms are clean and air conditioned and we received warm welcoming from the owner. The balcony we got had the view of a peaceful paddy field. It is also quite close to the ruin city.

Boasting garden views, Geethani Tourist Home Polonnaruwa features accommodation with patio, around 200 metres from Polonnaruwa Clock Tower.

Wonderful! BOOK NOW! A beautiful homestay set within easy walking distance of the centre and yet far enough away from the hustle and bustle. Spotlessly clean rooms, super comfortable beds with crisp clean sheets, a lovely little garden and a super breakfast. What really makes this place is the hospitality and generosity of spirit that the owners displayed. Viraj was an absolute legend! From the moment we arrived, to driving us all over the place looking for food late at night, to sorting out a tuk tuk tour and a our taxi on to our next destination he was truly amazing!

Thisara Guest House is located in Polonnaruwa and offers rooms with free Wi-Fi. Featuring an outdoor garden with seating, the guesthouse also has a restaurant and 24-hour front desk.

Location close to Old town. Kind host. You can rent bicycles in accomodation. Very nice view and sitting / dining in garden and next to rice field - but this means also lot of mosquitoes 🙁 You can pay with card = 3% fee.

Set within 200 metres of Polonnaruwa Clock Tower and less than 1 km of Deepa Uyana, Radha Tourist Home offers rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Polonnaruwa.

Very welcoming hosts with tea offered on arrival at around midday. Clean and comfortable room, good bathroom too. Nice location too, on a small quiet road semi rural feel, with monkeys and lots of birdsong, also a 5 minute hike to the lakeside. We stayed just one night and had our evening meal there and breakfast, both were good. Very conveniently located for our afternoon visit to the ancient city - just a few minutes drive to the museum to get entry tickets. We already had a driver but our hosts said they could have organised a tuk tuk if needed. Would definitely recommend.

    Great location! Was very relaxing and quiet for a therapeutic getaway(: The customer service from reception was great. They went above and beyond to explain things to us as we were not from the area.

    Although the staff could not speak English very well, they were very friendly and willing to help us. We could order dinner and breakfast (at 5.15 AM) at the accommodation which was very nice and cheap. We arranged safari trip via the accommodation which was a great experience! The staff (with the owner as translator per phone) helped us in catching a bus to Kandy. Also there is a shop next to the accommodation to buy drinks and snacks.

    Family owned guest house with good common areas both inside and outside. You can order food here which is good because there are almost no restaurants in the area.

    Great location with beautiful view of the lake and overlooking Knuckles Range. It’s also the best hotel located close to Wasgamuwa National Park. Food is amazing here, one of the best local food we ever had in Sri Lanka, especially the Vegetarian Set and Sri Lankan breakfast! The staff were also courteous and efficient, although some of them don’t speak English, but it wasn’t a problem for us.
