Amis Hotel & Restaurant ★★★

📍 115 kachchery east lane, kandy road, Jaffna

"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 ★★★★

📍 37, Mahatma Gandhi Road, Jaffna

"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 ★★★★
"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 ★★★
"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"

North Gate Hotel ★★★★
"This was my third visit to this hotel spanning many years. The owners who took over the management of the hotel since four years ago, have done exceeding all expectations and have not only been consistent with standards but have improved them tremendously. The hotel is just under five minutes walk from the Jaffna Railway station! Front office under FM Gopi and with Ms Thuza begins the hospitality experience from booking to check out. We arrived early morning 2.45 am still had a fast fantastic check in. Rooms are large very very kept under excellent housekeeping. The Restaurant and Kitchen is a marvel beyond description! If one wants to savor the best Jaffna cuisine and taste this is it, best ingredients, best chefs and all authentic. This is a must visit destination to any North Bound traveller to Sri Lanka. Central to town, Nallur Kovil, Keerimalai , Jaffna Dutch Fort ."

The Thinnai Hotel Jaffna ★★★★
"From the moment I arrived at Thinnai Hotel, I felt genuinely welcomed. A massive shout-out to the receptionist staff, Princi and Vithursha, who were incredibly warm, friendly, and hospitable from the very beginning. They immediately made me feel like I had chosen the perfect place to stay. The suite room was absolutely fantastic — spacious, beautiful, luxurious, and very comfortable. The pool area was also excellent and added to the overall experience. Later, I visited the bar for a few drinks and tried the hot cuttlefish, which was delicious. The barman, Rokeerththanan, provided outstanding service throughout the evening. He was very informative, attentive, and made some excellent recommendations. He recommended their special “Only in Yal” cocktail, which he personally prepared, and it was absolutely amazing — definitely one of the highlights of my stay. What impressed me most was the level of hospitality and service from the entire team. They accommodated all my needs, including a late check-out, and every request I made was handled more than promptly and professionally. I truly felt looked after and valued throughout my stay. Overall, the service was top-class from start to finish, and the experience was worth every single cent. Sadly, I’m only staying for one night, but I will definitely return again for a much longer stay. A huge thank you and big shout-out to the staff and management for doing such a fantastic job. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely be back again!"
