Thambu Illam, hotel in Jaffna

Situated in Jaffna, 1.9 km from Nallur Kandaswamy Temple, Thambu Illam features accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a restaurant.

A gorgeous traditional home converted into a boutique hotel with four rooms - perfect for a group or solo/couple travellers. Beautifully styled and managed by a delightful and attentive staff team ready to cater to any request or give local guidance. The swimming pool was the perfect oasis after a day of exploring steamy Jaffna. Special thanks to Mathci, Sutha and Niranjan. Oh and great food too - but please be aware most food is prepared off site which makes total sense - so just relax go with the flow. It’s worth the wait.

The booking was very last minute but once we arrived the staff were very attentive and made us feel welcome. The initial booking was for 1 night but the hotel staff made it very easy when I requested for an additional night. The breakfast included was splendid, no faults at all.

Good location in town but down a quiet steet so no noise issues. Close to some good places to eat (go to the Malayan Cafe) and the bus terminal. A bit of a long walk but still walkable to the fort. Along the way you'll pass through some markets and the public library which is a beautiful old building. Staff were friendly and there was security outside. There was a shared lounge area between a couple other rooms where you could make a tea and sit down. Air con was crispy cold and there was a fan too. Very clean. Comfortable beds.

    Jaffna is highly recommendable if you like to see Sri Lanka in a less mainstream tourist way. There is a lot to see, very interesting history and lots of cultural and religious highlights. Go to Nagadeepa and Delft Islabd as well for a day.

    Jaffna has always been a lovely place to visit.

    Jaffna has always been a lovely place to visit. This time we went to Kayts and saw what was left of the old Fort as well as Hammond Hiel across the water. Went to Point Pedro as well...It was a pity that there was a postbox at the northern most point of Sri Lanka - but no postcards or stamps!!! Seeing flamingos and other migrants across from the causeway to Kayts was a bonus. Food is always great and we would recommend Lavin's for some excellent parathas and paper dosai.

    Jaffna was not as I expected .

    Jaffna was not as I expected . Staying where I did you really needed your own transportation. I tried unsuccessfully to rent a bike ,and was told by Click hire place they were booked out for a few days ,I wondered about this as I hardly saw any other tourists ,and other companies didn’t return calls . Fort was really disappointing compared to Galle ,and they charge admission ! Restaurants recommended by lonely planet good , but Mangos has closed ,the Malaya is very good ,as is Akshatai ,but avoid Green Grass ,it’s horrible ,I couldn’t imagine staying there ! Rio Icecream is really good .

    Very different to Colombo and other suburbs, but Jaffna has its own unique vibe. Pretty laid back I would say. The locals are friendly, but communicating with them could be a little challenging unless you spoke Tamil. Plenty of things to see and many different foods to try.

    Its a quiet village with less population.

    Its a quiet village with less population. Nice for a quiet getaway. Small and cosy town. Food is good and friendly people. Temples are good to visit too. The trip to Nainativu is unsafe. Boats were overloaded and I was afraid of a stampede because of the crowd. Other than that, everything else was a good experience for me.

    Takes two days to travel around all the attractions, first day travel the east from Jaffna town with a rented vehicle which is much cheaper than the other areas. Other day travel nagadeepa and close by locations to Jaffna city. It was a nice experience around there for the everyone, but must pre plan everything.

    nice place, they keep traditional Jaffna Hindu culture which is very beautiful and attractive. the architecture is modern yet looks traditional. The place is accessible to all main parts of the city, hospitals, shopping places,ect.. The staff is very friendly and corporative. I forgot my phone charger while leaving the hotel but they did courier to my address within a few days.

    Allen is incredible, one of the most hospitable hosts I’ve ever had the pleasure of being greeted by. If you’re looking for the perfect place to stay in Jaffna, this is it. The warm atmosphere, the art on the walls and in the yard, all the little details create a home away from home atmosphere. One of the reasons we want to come back to Jaffna is to stay here again.

    Very homely, room was large and clean with good airconditioning. The host was super nice, helpful and friendly, always around to offer help. His wife makes the most delicious home made Jaffna food, try the mutton and crab curry. The place is on a very quiet street, however, it was easy to get a tuk tuk in and out of town or to any place of interest.
