Grand Refuge Holiday Rooms

Anuradhapura Railway Station is 4.9 km from the hostel, while Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi is 6.2 km from the property. Sigiriya Airport is 65 km away, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service. Manushaka was very friendly and always happy to help with suggestions about what to do. Location was a bit outside the city in a small neighborhood, so it wasn't close to much, but there was a nice garden with lots of animals always hanging around.. Scooter and bicycle rentals were easy to arrange and the food was very nice with the same price you'd expect at a local restaurant!

Kada Panaha Tank is 7.3 km from the hostel, while Kumbichchan Kulama Tank is 7.9 km from the property. Sigiriya Airport is 72 km away. It is a small guesthouse but rooms are large and spacious. There is plenty of ventilation with the ceiling fan and you sleep well at night. It is exactly like some of the other reviews, you are staying inside the jungle or a large botanical garden! It is within walking distance from the ancient city and just an inexpensive tuk-tuk ride from the new city which you do not want to stay in. The Coco Gardens is where you want to stay!
