Located 2 km from Kumbichchan Kulama Tank and 2.5 km from Kada Panaha Tank in the centre of Anuradhapura, Prestiva Stay provides accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace. The accommodation offers full-day security, room service and organising tours for guests.

Prageeth, the owner, may quite be the kindest individual I have ever come across. His property was in a quiet location, away from the hustle of Anuradhapura centre. There was no noise other than the wildlife outside. The check-in procedure was extremely simple and straight forward. Prageeth met us as we arrived and showed us around. He mentioned that we were his first foreign guests! The house was very clean, it was well furnished and whatever we could see wasn't provided, Prageeth provided for us. We required a gas cooker and some plates, he got those for us within 30 minutes. We talked to Prageeth about our plans and he kindly offered to organise a tour for us around Anuradhapura Ancient City. He joined in with the tour, using his personal car to transport us from place to place, whilst a tour guide and another tourist couple were alongside us. His service during the tour was second to none, and we were even extremely lucky to be given the honour of participating in a Buddhist ceremony, something that even the locals do not participate in! The day of our departure, we had planned to use Uber/PickMe to organise the transfer to our next stop in Sri Lanka. Prageeth, not wanting to let us depart without knowing that we were safe, offered to transfer us to our next destination, with a stop in Polonnaruwa along the way (this saved us a lot of stress in organising a tour the day after). He did charge for these additional services, but they were significantly cheaper than similar services from tour companies and I can guarantee we would not have received the same service. I cannot stress enough the service we received from Prageeth. For our first time in Sri Lanka, it was the ultimate welcome from the kindest person.

    My stay at White House Hotel was exceptional. The staff, from security to the manager, were incredibly friendly and helpful. The rooms, especially the VVIP family room we stayed at, were spotless, cozy, and inviting. The hotel's facilities, including a well-equipped fitness center and a refreshing pool, pool tables and other amazing facilities added an extra layer of enjoyment for me and my family. Highly recommended for a fantastic and comfortable stay. I'll definitely be back!

    The hotel is set in beautiful grounds next to the lake and looks absolutely stunning. Mr Sumith, the CEO, the front desk staff, porters, and housekeeping, among others, are all charming, quick to respond to requests/inquiries, and always helpful and friendly. I had lunch and breakfast, both of which were excellent, with the chefs and waiters, being particularly professional and attentive. Overall, I enjoyed my time at the Heritage Hotel and would recommend it to others.
