The (3) staff here are truly amazing, wonderful and super friendly. The house, and rooms are gorgeous, with all the facilities needed. The pool was much needed after a hot day. And the breakfast was amazing. Can’t fault this - will be recommending this strongly.

Beautiful small hotel with a private flair. The service, especially from Shuta, was outstanding. Dinner was ordered on demand and served on the beautiful terrace. There are also restaurants within walking distance. We would choose this hotel again.

Wonderful relaxing stay in Jaffna. Thambu is a family home converted to become a boutique hotel with 4 rooms. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and reflect the family heritage of the building. You won't lose the antique key to your room! Thambu has a pool and a dining area. The food is brought-in, but very professionally served by our friendly and charming waiter. A great stay for our first trip to Jaffna.

Diese kleine, aber feine Unterkunft mit nur vier Zimmern besticht durch den freundlichen und professionellen Service und die super Unterstützung bei Ausflügen und Transporten jeder Art, sogar die Abholung aus Colombo wurde zuverlässig für uns organisiert. Das A-la-carte-Frühstück ist reichhaltig und bietet für jeden Geschmack etwas. Frühstück und Dinner werden außerhalb des Hauses zubereitet, müssen nur mit einer Vorlaufzeit von 1 Stunde vorbestellt werden. Auch das Dinner war jeden Tag köstlich - sogar für empfindliche Mägen sehr lecker gewürzt! Hier bucht man ein "Rundum-Sorglos-Paket"!

Amazing place to stay and very attentive and welcoming staff. It’s a little out of town but easy enough to take a tuk tuk or take a short walk. Lovely pool area and very clean rooms, would highly recommend to anyone visiting this area. Thank you!

The property is stunning, like a museum or gallery. The room was a bit dark but it made us relaxI.The staff is friendly and helpful, they arranged a one day TukTuk tour for around five thousand.Although They don't have a kitchen facility, no chef, we can have food delivered based on a menu with some explanation.I recommend you order breakfast, then you can enjoy wonderful local food at the poolside.

Converted Villa in Jaffna Suburbs
Converted Villa with 4 rooms in Jaffna suburbs. Nicely converted with pool, garden and small dining area. Accommodation roomy but with no natural light. TV with several English language channels - news and other. Good air conditioning and kettle provided. Hosts are helpful and on hand, this is definitely more of a home stay than a hotel.
Food is available but needs to be brought in from outside. Breakfasts were good - ordered the night before.
Pool is very nice but avoid around 5pm when the mosquitoes are voracious!!

Beautiful home now a boutique hotel
This is a 4 bedroom hotel in old house and provides lovely setting. The manager and staff are really helpful without being annoying. There is a small pool and garden area at front and back. I only had one night there but wish I was able to stay longer. I had overnight train from Colombo and arrived to torrential rain and they proactively called me to check if needed to check in early. Fortunately the room was available. I also had the Jaffa breakfast which was good. The photos are accurate. Would definitely go back and would be great place for group stay.
