This is one of the best options to stay in Jaffna. It’s not in the city centre, more on the outskirts of the city , there’s nothing around, so you basically plan your time in the resort. The hotel itself is nice , the rooms look a bit old but clean , there was no hot water in our room. The territory of the hotel is beautiful with the pool , restaurant, little museums to visit (ex bunkers). The food in the restaurant is yummy , the staff is friendly and polite, especially Scotty , he was very helpful and nice to us during our stay. Good experience at this hotel, just the water situation in the rooms should be improved.

Its the best hotel to stay and experience in Jaffna. The rooms are really nice and very clean. The hotel has a great history and the service is very nice. We stayed at Fox Jaffna for 4 nights and loved every moment. The only short coming is the food quality. Its not that great and the vegetarian options are not good. Please work on your food taste and starters etc.

We stayed at Fox Hotel in Jaffna and really enjoyed the beautiful and well-kept property. The pool area is truly wonderful and invites you to relax. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and especially the shower was excellent. On the food side, however, we were a little disappointed. Breakfast is very much Sri Lanka–style, which is fine, but less variety for international taste. The dinner did not fully meet expectations – for the price it felt too average, so we decided to eat outside most evenings. Overall, a lovely hotel with a fantastic pool and comfortable rooms – but the dining experience could definitely be improved

We recently visited Fox Jaffna with our family and were truly impressed by every aspect of our stay. The rooms were exceptionally clean, well-appointed, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The entire property was immaculate, with a serene setting that beautifully blends modern comfort with deep historical significance. As someone from the U.S. traveling with my Sri Lankan husband—who had never been to Jaffna before—this was a meaningful and eye-opening experience. The hotel is filled with relics from the war and an impressive collection of artwork by renowned Sri Lankan painters, offering a powerful and moving glimpse into the region’s past and cultural richness. The on-site restaurant served authentic local cuisine with generous portions that left us more than satisfied. Every meal felt like a celebration of Jaffna’s culinary heritage. The staff were warm, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area, offering thoughtful recommendations and insights that enhanced our visit. Fox Jaffna is more than just a hotel—it’s a cultural experience wrapped in comfort and care. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore the north of Sri Lanka with both heart and history in mind.

Had a well deserved rest and break after a arduous 8 hour drive from Colombo. Great location,interesting artwork and good food with a decent spread for breakfast. Be sure to try out the authentic Jaffna style mutton Paal Poriyal with mild spice for the faint of heart.
