Siyanco Holiday Resort

In Polonnaruwa’s ancient core, minutes from the Archaeological Museum and close to Shiva Devalaya, Polonnaruwa Vatadage and Nissanka Latha Mandapaya. This budget resort sits near the city center and puts the ruins within easy walking distance.

About 25 air-conditioned guestrooms, many with private balconies or patios and bathrooms with showers. The place has a homely, hospitable vibe—an 'A' graded budget hotel founded in 2006—and room features vary by category.

Outdoor pool and garden for lazy afternoons plus a BBQ area for low-key evenings. Concierge and a tour desk help book excursions, and the property offers free parking/valet, airport shuttle on request, car rental, laundry and ironing services.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected and luggage storage is available. Dry cleaning/laundry services and shuttle arrangements can be set up to streamline your trip.

On-site restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, with room service during limited hours. A bar/lounge pours drinks and the BBQ area gives a casual alternative after a day exploring the ruins.
