UK Inn Guest House ★★

📍 56 Kannathiddy Road, Jaffna

"Friendly staff. Good value. Laundry available reasonable price. Next to Cargills super market/chemist. Smoking hotel, corridors smokey. No hot water tap. Water not too cold in summer. No lift. Sheets, shower clean. Shifted small table to play cards, hair and grime behind. Stayed 5 nights had to ask for fresh towels. Towels on the thin side. Acceptable for the price."

Yal's Town Inn
7.3 (3 reviews)

Yal's Town Inn ★★

📍 57/48 Stanly Road, Jaffna

"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."

Jaffna Heritage Hotel Hotels in Jaffna

Jaffna Heritage Hotel

"I made arrangements directly with the hotel. Mr. Wijekumara Rajapaksha was the one assisting me with all my bookings and arrangements. He was very prompt with all the email correspondence and WhatsApp conversations. All my friends and family were nicely hosted. The rooms were clean, spacious and well maintained. Their area is super convenient to Nallur Temple and shops too. The team did a fabulous job with their service and hospitality. I will strongly recommend to stay here during your visit to beautiful Jaffna."

Jaffna Heritage Villa Hotels in Jaffna

Jaffna Heritage Villa

"Beautiful villa situated very close to the temple. Very calm environment. Was being managed by the main hotel nearby. Murals by the local artists were beautiful. Staff were very helpful and kind. Cleanliness was on point. Well worth the price."

Amis Hotel & Restaurant Hotels in Jaffna

Amis Hotel & Restaurant

"A few good things to mention is that ithe rooms had two double beds which meant there was ample space for a family to stay. The room and bathroom was fairly clean except for cobwebs all over the upper walls and ceiling. There was hote water in our room but one of my friends who stayed in a neighboring room did not have a water heater so it would be wise to check before staying. It's in a fairly good location from the town and there is parking in the hotel grounds for your vehicle. There was some loud music played till a bit late. Overall, an average stay but may try a new place next time we visit Jaffna."

Jamuna Villa Hotels in Jaffna

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."

"We had a lovely stay here. Room was very spacious. Bed was comfortable and bedding was fresh and clean. Bathroom was nice and clean and shower was hot. A/C worked well. Wi-Fi was good. Breakfast was nice and plentiful although it would have been ice to have some juice. The only think I would say is that it was overpriced for what you get"

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"

"Except for the structures that may make guests a little confused (lol) when looking or heading for the room, I simply find your hotel to be more than just nice - "cozy" if I put it briefly. :-)"

"This was a lovely hotel in a former home that felt like home. The staff couldn’t have been sweeter, Kogulan, the chief butler, Janaka the butler and Merkata the fabulous cook all took great care of us. Our room was the peacock room which I recommend. We hated to leave!"
