Four bedrooms in this beautiful home. There is a very beautiful pool and the food is out of this world. It is more of a showroom type home than Hotel. It is extremely quiet and it is more or less sold out in the summer, but I am so lucky to have stayed here.

We stayed here for a couple of nights whilst visiting Jaffna. The website descriptions are accurate. This is a very welcoming small luxury boutique hotel. There are four rooms. We stayed in the ‘peacock’ room which was very comfortable with good air conditioning. The whole villa is tastefully and thoughtfully furnished. The hotel is within walking distance of the town but we chose to eat in both nights as we were tired from sightseeing. You choose options from a suggested menu (traditional) and they cook it freshly for you at your preferred time. Spices were adjusted to our personal preferences. Breakfast was a similar arrangement and all food was eaten at the beautiful dining table. It felt like a private dining experience. The swimming pool was very welcome and is set in a well tended garden. Thankyou to Kogulan (front of house) and Mekala (chef) for a wonderful stay.

I cannot explain how fantastic the hospitality was in Mahesa Bhavan. This was a family trip and had a total of 13 of us divided between Mahesa Bhavan property and Jetwing Jaffna. Ms Nila, Kogulan and team did an exceptional work at making sure we felt comfortable the entire stay there. We stayed for 3 night and had the entire villa to ourselves. Janaka was available 24/7 and was always so helpful and accommodating. Megala prepared yummy food for breakfast, tea and dinner. I will HIGHLY recommend Mahesa Bhavan to anyone who is going to Jaffna.

Staff made our stay very enjoyable. Room was very Clean, air conditioning was working, free tea at anytime, we were allowed to make our own meals. We bought fresh seafood from the nearby fish market and paid a small amount to the hotel for the access to the kitchen and cooked and had a great feast.

Staying here felt like a honestly and was just not worth the inflated price . The rooms are comfortable but ours was poky. We booked on B &B basis but the breakfasts were very mean. There was no fruit and fruit juice was served only if you asked for it. However the menu mentions all this. The same fish curry was served on three consecutive days. There is no functioning kitchen so meals have to be ordered well ahead. The staff were very kind and obliging but the meals and amenities for the price we paid were not justified

We enjoyed three busy days in Jaffna with the highlight being this hotel and its staff. A lovely old building, immaculately kept, comfortable rooms, and a peaceful pool all in the heart of the city. The wonderful team (Nilanthi, Megala and Janaka) made every effort to ensure we had everything we wanted, gave us advice, and prepared fantastic meals for us. They made us feel both welcome and special, because of them a good hotel was made exceptional.

Mahesabhawan is a beutiful , tastefully furnished, villa. We stayed for three nights. The staff and service was very good. Food was very good too. The caretaker, Mr.Juckshan was very helpful and Janaka gave an excellent service. I like the ornaments and wall hangings which blended with the culture appropriately

Wer hier gebucht hat, hat einen Jackpot. Dieses kleine Hotel mit 4 Zimmern ist an Individualität und Liebenswürdigkeit kaum zu überbieten. Vor allem die 2 oberen Zimmer mit großem Bad und Terrasse sind wunderschön. Die Generalmanagerin der Jetwinggruppe in Jaffna Frau Jilanthi kümmert sich mit großem Engagement persönlich darum, dass hier alles in Ordnung ist. Jannak liest den Gästen als Butler jeden Wunsch von den Augen ab. Gleich nach dem Aufstehen serviert er Kaffee oder Tee quasi ans Bett und nennt das Pre-breakfast. Megala ist eine fantastische Köchin und kocht die Wunschgerichte der wenigen Gäste. Die alte Villa ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt.
