French Garden Tourist Rest

What a nice place to stay your nights in A'pura. Big rooms, with big beds, mini refrigerators and complete bathroom. The owner of this place is running also 4 more lodges, so they have a good costumer experience. The rest of the team is very nice and friendly, let them guide you through the city. Fares: -Night in a double room: 32€, including breakfast. -Rent bikes: 2,80€ per person, whole day. Only one advice, if you are planning to get late to the hotel, call them or write them an email, they will wait for you, otherwise they will close at 23h.

We didn 't stay here but since there aren 't too many dining options in Anuradhapura, we tried the restaurant. It is attached to the guesthouse and offers a quite cozy beer garden . However, the food was only average. I had my first and last devilled dish there. Based on the information the waiter provided, I expected a spicy Sri Lankan dish. Instead, it tasted like convenience Chinese sweet-sour food. My wife had a vegetable dish and it wasn 't overwhelming either. Additionally, she ordered fresh lime juice and was served an artificial one. After complaining, the juice was replaced. One of the waiters also tried to sell us a tour which was quite annoying. Overall, we had a better time at the Hotel Shalini the next evening (although the French Garden 's location is more central).

This Guest House is Closed and not operating anymore. Don't book it.

Enjoyed our stay here. The guy that runs it was helpful and friendly. The dining area outside was a great place to sit. Clean room and good value. Stay there. Ian Cray. Leicester U.K

I have stayed at French Garden in Anuradhapura for maybe 5 or 6 times and I just say it's probably the best value for money accomodation you can find in the city. The rooms are very clean and tidy and the washrooms are nicely kept as well. The staff are friendly and very helpful, they would literally honour of their way to help you.
