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."

"This was my third visit to this hotel spanning many years. The owners who took over the management of the hotel since four years ago, have done exceeding all expectations and have not only been consistent with standards but have improved them tremendously. The hotel is just under five minutes walk from the Jaffna Railway station! Front office under FM Gopi and with Ms Thuza begins the hospitality experience from booking to check out. We arrived early morning 2.45 am still had a fast fantastic check in. Rooms are large very very kept under excellent housekeeping. The Restaurant and Kitchen is a marvel beyond description! If one wants to savor the best Jaffna cuisine and taste this is it, best ingredients, best chefs and all authentic. This is a must visit destination to any North Bound traveller to Sri Lanka. Central to town, Nallur Kovil, Keerimalai , Jaffna Dutch Fort ."

Yal's Town Inn

"The location is excellent as its walking distance to the train station, bus stand and shops. The atmosphere is very budget type. Considering its pricing its definitely a budget hotel and should be reviewed as such too. For a budget hotel they gave us a very clean room and a clean bathroom. The fittings are a bit old. It had hot water but never used it because of the high temperatures in Jaffna. I think its value for what they offer. Do not book with breakfast because you are at their mercy at what is provided. I thought the breakfast was below par. Service and the staff are excellent. Nice, friendly, and accommodating. The pictures are from a long time back. The place looked a bit run down. We did not mind as we spent most of the time sight seeing and only came to sleep. For that purpose this was great."

Jetwing Jaffna ★★★★

"The rooms were clean. We received a warm welcome at the reception. All the staff were very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was very clean and hygienic, and the food was super delicious. We had only booked breakfast but ended up eating dinner there every night because it was so good. The bathroom had a Western, modern design, which I, as a European, really appreciated."

Fox Jaffna ★★★★

"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."

Jaffna Heritage Villa ★★★★

"Overall the hotel is good. Because it is situated near the Nalloor temple, easy access to town and other attractions. Design was good enough to call a heritage hotel but hotel is getting old and can see stains on the wall tiles, toilet windows (poor design), & taps are getting rusty etc. i have not tried food there so i have no comments. Hotel staffs are helpful but not really proactive."

"Beautifully restored 1935 bungalow with 4 rooms, good pool, centrally located on relatively quiet street. The staff were terrific - Juckshan the villa manager, Janaka the butler and Megala the cook. Food was great, butler service formidable, and all staff including Jetwing GM Nilanthi made is feel very much at home."

Dayanithi Guest House ★★★

"Beautiful place, too expensive for its category, its comfort and its location in comparison with other accommodation of the same type: 9000 SLR (26€) for a double with breakfast. Pretty villa outside, in a pleasant garden. The welcome from Robby and his assistant, who are employees, is warm. The interior of the villa is very simple. A few rooms with minimum comfort, small, tastelessly furnished. No decoration. Air conditioning, fan, television. Clean laundry. Very small but functional bathroom. The villa is far from everything. As it does not offer meals, you have to go to town by car if you want to eat. (on foot it takes 30 minutes one way). Breakfast is minimalist. The driver who was staying there was not even allowed morning tea. Damage"
