    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.

    Through Booking.com we have booked a room and it was confirmed according to the msg. Over the phone also I have confirmed. But just before we reach jaffna when I called to pre-order our meals they said the particular room has been allocated to someone else and our reservation isn't possible. And later they said that they're in the middle of reservation and the room isn't fit for use. What I like was at least they have told that the room was unavailable before reaching the hotel 😆.

    The hotel was nice, and the staff were very friendly and courteous. They attempted to resolve some of the issues we had staying in the hotel as best as they could. I think this is one of the few hotels in Jaffna with a pool, and even though the pool was small, it was was maintained quite well. I think it's one of the better hotels in Jaffna, but the price kinda reflects it. The location is near Jaffna town and very convenient. Has a lot of nice restaurants around the hotel.

    very dirty. the main reason for booking was for the pool that was out of action. breakfast was meant to be included in the price but they charged me for it. the price they charge does not reflect the service received.. I have been travelling Sri Lanka for 3 months and this was by far the poorest hotel and the price I paid was much too expensive. Jaffna is a beautiful place and people should visit but do not stay here. Very poor standard!

    It is located in a walking distance to the Nallur Kandaswami temple and also not far from the major attractions in Jaffna. If you travel to Jaffna by train it is much more easier to reach by a tuk tuk. I was traveling to experience the Nallur feast 2023 and had a great time due to the Inns' location mainly. Apart from that the staff is very helpful and friendly. Really worth the price. I recommend it 👌

    This hotel is an oasis in noisy and dusty Jaffna. When you get tired of exploring the city and the beautiful province, coming back to this hotel is a blessing. The hotel’s garden is a favourite for wedding photo shooting, which adds a bit of entertainment to your breakfast. Staff is very friendly, and the gentlemen in charge of reception and restaurant are very helpful
