Prachtige kamer met aparte living, grote slaapkamer mooie badkamer en zelfs een privé januari op het terras. Diner was uitstekend zeer gevarieerd en smaakvol. Ontbijt matig, veel currys maar nauwelijks bijgerechten. Was moelijk uit dit buffet een ontbijt voor een westerling samen te stellen, terwijl we normaliter fan zijn van een Aziatisch ontbijt. Waar nog duidelijke verbeterpunten zijn is de service. 1e dag werkte de jacuzzi en de TV boven niet. Pas na 3 maal reclameren was het de 2e dag opgelost. 2e dag waren ze de handdoeken vergeten weer reclameren gelukkig binnen 15 minuten opgelost.

Included on our holiday tour of Sri Lanka we had a crab cooking demonstration at The Thinnai Hotel in Jaffna. Since I’m a vegetarian (with Coeliac Disease) I’d almost cancelled this part of the booking but our guide said we would regret not taking advantage of this wonderful experience and I’m so glad we listened to him. First of all, after explaining about my dietary needs, the cooking demonstration was quickly amended to Paneer Butter Masala, which is something both my husband and I love. Chef Gideon, aided my his colleague, not only showed us step by step how to prepare this in real time but also gave us each a typed copy of the recipe to aide us when we get home. Since we only amended the dish to be demonstrated two hours earlier we were very impressed by how quickly and seamlessly this had been arranged. Secondly after the Paneer Butter Masala had been expertly cooked and amended to meet our individual heat level, we were whisked to the wonderful restaurant on the third floor where we were able to enjoy the dish with all the accompaniments recommended by Chef Gideon. The taste was just out of this world. Words really can’t do justice to the flavours that just danced across the tongue in happy harmony. We have both been really impressed by our whole experience at The Thinnai Hotel. The accommodation and staff were all great but if you’ve read any of our earlier reviews you’ll know that we do love a curry and so we can say hand on heart that this is an experience that will live on in our hearts. Thank you Chef Gideon and colleagues.

Supergoed hotel. Alles schoon. We saten bij het zwembad. Service erg goed. Supergoed eten. Cafe top. Heel erg lief en vriendelijke personeel. Ook goed advies gegeven. Al met al een aanrader. Mocht je in Noord Sri Lanka komen, zou ik zeggen DOEN!

We spent with friends two nights in The Thinnai Hotel. We had the Superior Vaalai Suite, which is spacious, separate living room and bedroom with separate A/C-s. The room is clean the staff is friendly, you just need to ask for what you need and they are happy to help almost in real time. A specialty is the in-house cooking lesson for crab-curry which is said to be a local favorite. It is a real experience, do not miss it. Small minuses are the stable but sometimes slow internet, the unavailability of CNN (or perhaps was it my clumsiness?) and the somewhat limited choice of the breakfast. The hotel has a central location.

The service from all the staff at the hotel was exceptional. The manager Prakash was very hospitable and helpful. The food was very good and exceeded our expectations. They were very kind to go out of their way to meet our demands. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Over all totally satisfactory.

Our family reunion at The Thinnai was absolutely fantastic! With 27 family members coming from Canada, the US, Australia, Singapore, and Japan, we rented six rooms for one week. We wanted to experience where our parents grew up and explore ancestral lands. We had an unforgettable experience. The staff were friendly and accommodating of our allergy and dietary requests, and Chef Krishan and team’s delicious food was a highlight every day. We chose the breakfast included package, and the spacious and clean dining area was a great place to start our mornings. The pool provided a perfect spot for cooling and relaxing after a day exploring the town and sites. The rooms were clean and regularly maintained. The suites were incredibly air-conditioned, spacious, comfortably housing 5-7 people. Some of the suites equipped with a stovetop and microwave, offering guests flexibility in choosing their amenities during their stay. Prices were reasonable, making our stay good value for money. Our final meal in the banquet hall was truly special, with audiovisual facilities that made it possible to connect our phones and laptops to share pictures, music, and speeches. This added a personal touch to our reunion and created lasting memories. A couple of tips for future guests: - Use the doorknob sign if you want your room cleaned to be clear. - Plan for room service and maintenance to take about 30-45 minutes. Suggestion for the hotel: adding a clothes drying rack would be useful. Overall, our stay at The Thinnai was comfortable, enjoyable, and full of wonderful memories. Thank you to the hotel manager Roshanth and team who helped to create this memorable experience. We can't wait to return for our next visit!

The staff were pleasant and helpful. The manager was very accomodating and always there to troubleshoot. The place is clean and welcoming. The sofa bed was very comfortable. Shout out to the chef’s. The food was amazing. The kebabs & chicken sandwiches deserve a special mention. One request - serve local brewed coffee.

Great Location closer to the town. Friendly staff very accommodating to our requests, especially when needed to change some plans and reduce the # of night stay here. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Food was good. Well protected facility. Though we stayed only one night, can recommend for longer stay.
