La struttura è nuovissima, in stile europeo e dotata dei comfort essenziali (acqua calda, climatizzatore e frigorifero), cosa da non sottovalutare. Leggermente distante dalla strada principale permette di raggiungere i locali anche a piedi. La camera era molto pulita ed ordinata, lo staff cordialissimo e molto disponibile, infatti abbiamo potuto lasciare i nostri bagagli in struttura anche dopo il check out. La colazione inclusa nella tariffa della camera è essenziale ma sufficiente. E’ comunque possibile integrare la colazione con il menù alla carta dello stesso cafe della struttura. La consiglio!

The Ivy Lake is a rare find in Sri Lanka, being modern & so well maintained as it only four rooms. The brother & sister who manage the property are in touch with technology making them very helpful for what's going on in Anuradhapura & helping with things to do in the area. The garden is so beautiful making the property feel tropical & peaceful in a very busy city. The Ivy Lake is very central to the Old Town, the lake, bus station & the train station, perfect to be walkable to everything. The room is very convenient with a rare refrigerator, great shower & comfy bed, everything a traveller needs. There is a superb coffee shop that the youngsters have with all meals available. Well done Ivy Lake, we highly recommend you to all visitors to Anuradhapura.

I can’t say enough about the hospitality that my wife and I received from this hotel. Mahinda went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. He set up our safari and ensured we had a ride made breakfast and ensured we got home safe.
