8.7 (63 reviews)

Jetwing Jaffna ★★★★

📍 37, Mahatma Gandhi Road, 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."

jaffna casa ★★

📍 Seerani Junction, Keerimalai Rd, Jaffna

"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."

Jaffna Heritage Villa
9.0 (45 reviews)

Jaffna Heritage Villa ★★★★

📍 240 Temple Rd, Jaffna

"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."

Dayanithi Guest House
8.9 (5 reviews)

Dayanithi Guest House ★★★

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

"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"

The Thinnai Hotel Jaffna
9.2 (47 reviews)

The Thinnai Hotel Jaffna ★★★★

📍 Pallaly Road Thirunelveli, 86 Palaly Rd, Kokuvil East, 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!"

Jaffna Heritage Villa ★★★★
"We stayed here recently for one night as the Heritage Hotel was fully booked. The rooms are large and comfortable however the bathrooms are smaller than across the road at the Heritage hotel. The villa is only a few steps from the Nallur Temple and as we stayed during the festival it was interesting to see the devotees walk by. The staff are friendly and very helpful. Recommended!"

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."

The Thinnai Hotel Jaffna ★★★★
"All the staff were very friendly. The manager, Rohanth, and Thinesh were extremely helpful. The front desk staff member, Princy, was also very kind and helpful. I don’t remember the names of the other staff members, but they were all wonderful. A special thanks to the chef for preparing jackfruit for us when we requested it. Overall, we felt like we were with a family who cared for us wholeheartedly. We will definitely come back!"

Jetwing Mahesa Bhawan ★★★★
"We stayed here for a couple of nights whilst visiting Jaffna. The website descriptions are accurate. This is a very welcoming small luxury boutique hotel. There are four rooms. We stayed in the ‘peacock’ room which was very comfortable with good air conditioning. The whole villa is tastefully and thoughtfully furnished. The hotel is within walking distance of the town but we chose to eat in both nights as we were tired from sightseeing. You choose options from a suggested menu (traditional) and they cook it freshly for you at your preferred time. Spices were adjusted to our personal preferences. Breakfast was a similar arrangement and all food was eaten at the beautiful dining table. It felt like a private dining experience. The swimming pool was very welcome and is set in a well tended garden. Thankyou to Kogulan (front of house) and Mekala (chef) for a wonderful stay."

The Valampuri ★★★★
"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."
