Jetwing Jaffna

Jetwing Jaffna

📍 37, Mahatma Gandhi Road, Jaffna
★★★★ 8.6 (63 reviews)

"Overall it's OK, the price is a bit high, but you can't ask for much in a foreign country, the hotels in poor countries in Southeast Asia are all the same. This price is enough to stay in a very good five-star hotel in China"

Jaffna Heritage Villa

Jaffna Heritage Villa

📍 240 Temple Rd, Jaffna
★★★★ 9.0 (45 reviews)

"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."

★★★★ 9.8 (28 reviews)

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. "

Dayanithi Guest House

Dayanithi Guest House

📍 No: 67/10, Poomanai Veethy (2nd Lane) , Manipay Kaitidi Road, Jaffna
★★★ 9.0 (5 reviews)

"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"

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."

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."

Jaffna Heritage Villa ★★★★
"Nice hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was traditional Jaffna style and very good. The hotel is within 2 km from the town and very conveniently located. Site is is easy because of its location. Also, the hotel staff is very knowledgeable about tourist attractions and roads to get to such places."

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."

Jetwing Mahesa Bhawan ★★★★
"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 ★★★
"Our experience was way beyond our expectation. We were so lucky to have this wonderful location amidst the crowded and all-occupied accomodations in Jaffna, in the christmas eve. No regrets what so ever. The keeper, Ravi was nice guy and his hospitality made us to make our minds to highly recommend this place to others."

North Gate Hotel ★★★★
"One of the better hotels in the Jaffna town centre area. Although it is a newly built hotel, hopefully the general upkeep improves as the bathroom’s ventilation appeared to be broken. The hotel’s restaurant was definitely a highlight and the bar area should be advertised more rather than be kept all dark."
