Subhas Tourist Hotel ★★★
"low price and location central to jaffna town are main benefits breakfast options limited bar closes around 9pm : both things could be improved to increase tourists and also modernise rooms"
jaffna casa ★★
"Stayed at Jaffna Casa Hotel for 7 days, during my stay, the room was. Clean, spacious and comfortable. And air conditioned work well, which made the room pleasant to relax in. The bathroom was neat and came with basic toiletries and fresh towels."
Thambu Illam ★★★
"Wonderful, friendly & welcoming hotel. Staff were very accommodating & friendly. Nothing was too much for them. The hotel was conveniently situated to access various landmarks such as Nallur Kandaswamy Temple, the market, Jaffna Fort & the impressive library. We highly recommend this cosy hotel with its friendly staff. We were very happy there & felt 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"
UK Inn Guest House ★★
"Attach hotel room Wi-Fi access. An arrival is my request to pay again? The price of the room. For six days, a check that I had already paid for by Ethernet or credit card."
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."
The Thinnai Hotel Jaffna ★★★★
"From the moment we entered The Thinnai, we immediately felt on our ease. The staff is so nice, helpful and welcoming you with a genuine smile. Our room was very clean, with a lot of space and airconditioned. Breakfast was delicious and provided a wide range of various kitchens (both European and traditional Sri Lankan). And dinner was also very very good! There is also a bar with very tasty cocktails (both traditional and signature cocktails), but underneath it, they have a little corner where they serve several typical Sri Lanka drinks and sweets. We went there before the cocktail, and afterwards went eating. Great way to end the day! We mentioned when we checked in that it was our 1 year wedding anniversary, and a few hours later a beautiful flower bouquet with “HAPPY ANNIVERSARY” on it was lying on our bed. That was already so nice of them! But then, the same evening, they surprised us with a wedding cake after our desert. We were so very happy with their thoughtful kindness. In short, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND The Thinnai in Jaffna!"
Jetwing Mahesa Bhawan ★★★★
"My family and friends from Canada and the UK stay together at this property almost every year when we visit Jaffna. It has a great location, is super clean, and the staff are wonderful! Best of the best of the chef - she’s an incredible cook. Would definitely recommend."
Jetwing Jaffna ★★★★
"Everything was as expected. Great staff and service. Loved my stay."

"Very cheating experience with your hotel ordered the chicken soup.. but we received cheapest food.. bad experience with your hotel"
Jaffna Heritage Hotel
"One of the best places to stay in Jaffna with exceptional customer service and great value for money.

A special mention to Mr. Wije, who was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable in recommending the best attractions and places to visit around Jaffna. His guidance made our trip more enjoyable and memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort, hospitality, and a genuine Jaffna experience."
Jaffna Heritage Villa
"I had a fantastic experience at Hotel Heritage Villa in Jaffna. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel right at home with their warm and friendly welcome. One staff member who truly stood out was Piranavan, who provided exceptional customer service throughout my stay. He was always attentive, professional, and willing to go the extra mile to ensure I had everything I needed. His genuine care and helpfulness really enhanced my overall experience. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, with a charming, rustic atmosphere that adds to the overall appeal of the place. The rooms were clean, well-maintained, and comfortable, providing a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring Jaffna. The location is also great, offering easy access to nearby attractions, making it a convenient base for travelers. What I appreciated the most was the attention to detail in both the service and the facilities. The staff, led by Piranavan, ensured that all guests felt valued and well taken care of. The food at the hotel was delicious, with a good variety of local and international dishes to choose from. Overall, I highly recommend Hotel Heritage Villa for anyone visiting Jaffna. It’s a wonderful place to stay!"
Amis Hotel & Restaurant
"We stayed 02 nights @ Amis Hotel in last weekend. Very friendly staff & the rooms also very clean & nicely arranged. We've got Breakfast & lunch from them & the food was really good (Specially Chicken Kurma with Jaffna traditional spices is great). Very relaxing place & reasonable rates. Actually, worth for money. Definitely we'll reserve this place again, for our next visit also. thank you, Amis Hotel."
Jamuna Villa
"This hotel is located in the middle of nowhere and has no facilities. All the reviews on Google guides which mention the cuisine are lies as there is no restaurant. The rooms are cramped and uncomfortable, and the A/c barely works. As we arrived late the front gates were locked and we had to wait for sometime before anyone arrived to open them."
