📍 31 Old Post office Road, Jaffna

"A really beautifully looked after modern home with character. The guest house is great. Better still was our host Christy who showed us all the sights. Although it's not exactly complimentary, it was so relaxing to be collected from the train, guided around town and treated like family. Thanks so much."

The Valampuri
7.4 (39 reviews)

The Valampuri ★★★★

📍 148, 10 Railway, 136 Station Rd, Jaffna

"My clients stay at Valampuri Hotel in Jaffna was extremely disappointing. The hotel was shockingly dirty and clearly not well-maintained. The cleanliness standards were well below acceptable levels, with unkempt rooms and common areas. Additionally, the service was abysmal. Staff members were inattentive and unhelpful, showing a lack of professionalism and courtesy. Overall, I cannot recommend this hotel to anyone considering a stay in Jaffna. It was a regrettable experience that left me feeling thoroughly dissatisfied. The lack of cleanliness was not confined to our room; it was evident throughout the hotel premises. Common areas were unkempt, and cleanliness standards were well below acceptable levels. This was deeply concerning and not in line with the standards one would expect from a reputable hotel. Furthermore, the service we received was disappointing. Staff members appeared inattentive and unhelpful, lacking the professionalism and courtesy expected in the hospitality industry. Their demeanor only added to our dissatisfaction with our overall experience at Valampuri Hotel. As a result of these issues, I regret to inform you that I cannot in good conscience recommend your hotel to anyone considering a stay in Jaffna. It is imperative that immediate action is taken to address the cleanliness issues and improve the quality of service provided to guests. I urge you to take this feedback seriously and implement measures to rectify the shortcomings we experienced during our stay. Your prompt attention to these matters would be greatly appreciated and may help prevent similar negative experiences for future guests."

Green Grass Hotel & Restaurant Hotels in Jaffna

"Our stay at this hotel was extremely disappointing. Right from the moment we entered the room, we were hit with a strong, unpleasant smell. The bathrooms were not clean, and there were mosquitoes everywhere, making it hard to relax. There was no lift available, which was highly inconvenient, especially since our group of three families was assigned rooms on different floors. This made coordination very difficult. The worst part, however, was the customer service. The reception staff were extremely rude and unhelpful — probably the worst we’ve encountered in any hotel. Their attitude was unpleasant and unprofessional, which completely ruined the experience for us. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable or welcoming stay."

"Very nice place to stay. Excellent food options especially Jaffna cuisine were made exceptionally good. Rooms are clean. Good hot water shower. Very cordial and accommodative staff Some suggestions were Dining area close to the pool should have some ceiling fans Please include coffee in the room"

Thambu Illam Hotels in Jaffna

Thambu Illam

"Small, relatively newly renovated villa with only 4 large rooms, some even with 2 rooms. Very good location (approx. 1.2 km from the center), great breakfast and for dinner the food was ordered from a restaurant with a varied menu. The staff was extremely friendly, courteous and helpful. Also worth mentioning is the small but very clean and tasteful pool with a small terrace. We will definitely stay there again if we go to Jaffna again. Petra and Frank"

Jetwing Jaffna ★★★★
"The staff were very friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived to when we departed. The rooftop bar is a nice place to relax and have a bite/nibbles. There is a supermarket within walking distance and the Jaffna market is about 500m away. Overall a good choice when staying in Jaffna."

Munril Guest ★★★
"We travelled as a group and had clearly shared the number of people and room requirements, but when we arrived, one room was missing. After a long journey, we had to split up families and couples just to make it work. We were heading to Delft and had already booked this same hotel for our return to Jaffna — confirmed everything in person, even saw the rooms. But the night before we were due back, we called to check and were told again that two rooms were missing, and they suggested splitting the group across different hotels — which hadn’t even been arranged yet. We were so disappointed, we skipped Jaffna altogether and went straight back to Colombo. We would love to go back to Jaffna some other time but would not be staying at this place."

Jaffna Heritage Villa ★★★★
"We stayed at Jaffna Heritage Villa for a night. I would say It is the most hospitable place ever in Jaffna. Their staff was very friendly and the service was exceptional. The front office manager Mr. Rajeev and other one were very friendly. We had a vegetarian breakfast which embedded with jaffna real taste. Without any hesitation , I would recommend everyone to stay in Jaffna Heritage Villa or Hotel. It's a very convenient place to visit Nallur Temple, famous Rio Ice cream Shop and Jaffna town as well. We love the place and the people. THANKS FOR THE GREAT SERVICE WE'LL COMEBACK FOR SURE!"
