Reviews of Manthila Hotel

Great room with a nice balcony with a nice view. The staff was great and helpful - They served us dinner on the rooftop and it was delicious. The server was efficient and kind.

We were supposed to stay a second night there but we were told that there was an issue with our reservation and that we had to find another hotel for the second night.

Close to attractions, excellent food, friendly staff

Some constructions going on nearby which is loud

The hotel is close to all the sacred places in Anuradhapura. Staff is so friendly and they were so eager to attend to all our needs. The room we booked was spacious and clean. All the necessary things were included such as the tea/coffee making station, Cloth ironing table with electric iron, Hair dryer etc... The bathroom was also spacious and equipped with everything. Balcony area was also peaceful. We had a Srilankan breakfast at the rooftop restaurant. Overall it was a peaceful stay.

We had a pretty good stay overall. The staff were nice and helpful, and the room was clean and comfy. The location was great—close to food spots and the pooja nagaraya . Food was decent too. Good value for the price, and we’d stay here again.

However, I did notice a slight odor in the bathroom, and there was no hot water during my visit. I’m sure these are things that can be improved, and I appreciate the overall hospitality.✨️

Great views from the balcony of jungle, lots of birdlife Very big airy room. Staff were delightful and met us with flannels and cold drink every time we came back to the hotel. Good bathroom and toiletries.

No safety deposit box; this was our second stop and most hotels didn't (or if they did it wasn't bolted down) but there was CCTV in the common areas and good locks on the doors. (Sri Lanka was much safer than our initial stay in Colombo lead us to believe !) Building work next door started 7am and was a bit noisy from the balcony. Bit of a walk to anywhere you might want to go.

Location is good just for a short stay as hotel doesn’t have big garden or pool and close to hotel there’s nothing to do. For short stay rice fields seen from the balconies look really good and chilling. Rooms quite good established and quite big and comfortable to stay in. Personnel are very helpful. What we didn’t liked - selection of food seemed a bit limited and somehow takes a long time to prepare it. Restaurant on top is quite worn off and really not pleasant place to have a food. Sheets and towels seemed worn off too.

We recently stayed at Manthila Hotel in Anuradhapura and had a delightful experience. The hotel is very clean and comfortable, with spacious rooms featuring large balconies and bathrooms equipped with hot water. Upon arrival, the receptionist warmly welcomed us with a refreshing juice, setting a friendly tone for our stay. The hotel's location is quite convenient. The city center, complete with a shopping center and various shops, is only about a 10-minute tuk-tuk ride away. We also visited the sacred city of Anuradhapura, which was a 15-minute ride from the hotel. Breakfast and dinner is served at the 4th floor on the rooftop.We ordered Sri lankan breakfast that were tasty but quite slipy for us . There was some ambient noise from nearby construction activity, which we didn't mind as they stopped with working at 6pm.. Overall, the rooms were as nice and clean as shown in the pictures. I would definitely choose to stay at Manthila Hotel again on my next visit.

Bats flying around in the rooftop terrace where dinner was served but we did not mind. Food is a bit too spicy but I mentioned at reception to prepare us no spicy food but I would also inform the staff at the rooftop just in case.

Good size room. Comfortable bed.

The location. Bit far from everywhere.

Large rooms with nice balcony facing the forest. Good location in a quiet area. Staff is helpful and supportive.

Breakfast was mostly salty, some sweet options would be appreciated. Also please improve the quality of the coffee

The rooms were very spacious. The views were great. It is a great hotel. Walking distance to the main attractions. The food was delicious! They were very accommodating of our food needs. The head chef especially was very nice. We had to leave very early and they got up around 5 am and packed us breakfast. The staff in general were great. They went out of the way to help us. The two ladies especially so wonderful. There was an error in the booking we made and they went out of their way to correct it. They didn’t have to. I can’t say enough good things about them. We had a great time.

Nothing.

Very clean

Not allowing to consume alcohol in the restaurant

Excellent staff. Very helpful. Rooms are of 5 star standard.

Nice hotel with spacious clean rooms and great location. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great and calm view from the rooms. Hotel is building a new section with a rooftop pool. Good spread of tasty food.

Rooms were not sound proof and there was noise from the corridors. Washrooms require a deep clean.
