Breedon Residence Hotel - Anuradhapura

Breedon Residence Hotel - Anuradhapura

8/10 Good
"Very nice room, pool great, not walking distance to eateries. The family looking after the apartments were very helpful. We had a room and dedicated bathroom (locked for our use but in the wider apartment). There is a common kitchen, lounge and dining room, fortunately we had the place to ourselves but could be problematic if sharing with others (there were 2 or 3 other bedrooms)"
