Guest Reviews

• Narmatha (10/5): Amazing and will recommend -
• Jayalutchmee (10/5): Excellent with all comforts managed - Amazing attentive staff, willing to help at all expenses in the restaurants and reception. A big shout out to all the staff especially the room attendee called Francis , keep up the good work in your gentle way Cleanliness, pool, small gym air conditioning, food central to railway station a short walk. Easy Tuc tuc drive. Easy to get tours
• Ali (10/5): A great place to stay - Lovely, well run hotel. Staff very friendly. Rooms exceptionally cleaned by Francis. Breakfast and dinner buffets amazing. Lots of choice of local foods. Great location - 2 minute walk to train station, 20 min walk to Jaffna Fort and 20 min walk to main shops and market. No umbrellas for the loungers at the pool making it difficult to lounge by the pool until mid afternoon.

• Haughey (9/5): We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The hotel was comfortable, clean and the staff very helpful. - The property was clean, modern, served great meals and came with a gym and swimming pool. The location was great for train travellers as it was located within 200m of the railway station but was otherwise it a bit remote from shops etc
• Rajnesh (7/5): Was a great hotel years ago but standards seem to have slipped. - Great location next to railway station. Staff were friendly though we were only there for a short stay. I have been here 7 years ago when it was newly opened and looks like change of management/staff since then. Lot of staff in restaurant seemed to be walking around aimlessly with nothing to do but still take a long time to provide orders/drinks etc. One serious incident was that my uncle requested reception staff to keep his ice packs in a freezer over night for his medication and they stored it in a fridge instead. This was not acceptable and dangerous. Staff did not seem to understand the seriousness despite us speaking the local language.
• Dilan (8/5): Convenient location with much potential - The location and front desk staff were good. Food options could improve . Bathroom requires an upgrade
• Gregory (6/5): Pleasant hotel in convenient location but some air conditioning issues - Great views from balcony, inviting pool and convenient location Air conditioning in room did not work on first night, so we were moved to a new room the next morning. The beds (twin beds) were short for our height. Public areas of the hotel (hallways, restaurant) were somewhat warm despite the air conditioning being on

• Daniela (10/5): Super angenehmer Aufenthalt - Wir waren mit 8 Personen für 4 Nächte in diesem Hotel. Wir wurden wirklich sehr herzlich empfangen. Die Zimmer waren sehr geräumig und für die Landeskategorie auch sehr sauber unser Housekeeper Mohammed Hasan hat wirklich einen guten Job gemacht. In zwei unserer Zimmer ging die Dusche gleich am ersten Tag kaputt, diese wurde sofort repariert. In einem Zimmer kam fast nur kaltes Wasser, was aber bei der Außentemperatur nicht wirklich störte. Das Essen war mega lecker und das Servicepersonal perfekt und wirklich sehr aufmerksam. Das Hotel ist insgesamt sehr hellhörig, man konnte wirklich jedes Wort, das auf dem Flur gesprochen wurde hören, dies hat uns jedoch nicht gestört, darum gibt es auch keinen Abzug bei den Sternen. Alles in allem haben wir uns sehr wohl und wirklich sehr willkommen gefühlt, wir können dieses Hotel auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen und kommen auf jeden Fall wieder. Was uns allerdings nicht gut gefallen hat war die Klimaanlage, diese ist direkt gegenüber des Bettes angebracht, sodass man ständig den kalten Luftstrom spürte, selbst bei einer hohen Temperatureinstellung froren wir nachts, ohne Klimaanlage war es allerdings so heiß im Zimmer, dass man auch nicht schlafen konnte. Die Klimaanlage ist einfach an einer falschen Stelle angebracht. Wenn man etwas zu bemängel hätte, dann wäre es der Pool, es fehlen schon einige Fliesen und mein Sohn ist in eine abgebrochene Fliese getreten, bei kleineren Kindern könnte das zu ernsthaften Verletzungen führen.
• Zelma (8/5): -
• Rajah (9/5): Amazing place to stay, with amazing people who really demonstrate the Sri Lankan Tamil culture and hospitality. - The people are very kind, the area is very beautiful, and the stay was very pleasant overall. The washrooms could benefit from some renovation due to weathering, but was such a small issue, it wasn’t much of an issue for us.
• Tasha (10/5): - The beeakfast buffet was the best. Staff were also very hospitable and helpful. Laundry is quite pricey.
• Visuvalingam (10/5): -
• Sajeeka (10/5): -
• Prashadkumar (8/5): Comfortable clean room, good local food and helpful staff - Clean, convenient and knowledgeable staff. No complaints
• Chandraraj (9/5): A comfortable room and exceptional local cuisine in the restaurant. - Convenient location. Room was comfortable and well equipped. Service requests were handled promptly. A highlight is the restaurant, especially if you like the local, Jaffna cuisine. The breakfast buffet was extensive. A la carte items at dinner were very well prepared. Nothing really

• Pavitra (7/5): -
• Lennert (6/5): Don't expect to get the rooms you pay for - Rooms were spacy and nice We booked 4 identical rooms for 3 singles and a couple, and were given 1 of the room types we actually booked and paid for, and 3 other smaller rooms on 3 different floors.
• Hari (8/5): -
• Lalith (9/5): - Friendly staff with great service.
• Patrice (8/5): Hébergement incontournable dans Jaffna qui est mal équipé en offre - Hôtel confortableréunissant les standards attendus Établissement sans vraiment d´âme et les services de l'accueil pas à la hauteur de cette gamme d´hôtel.
• Siva Raj (9/5): Wonderful stay, perfect for family. - Its location and rooms. The hot water could have been hotter.
• Manjit (10/5): 👍 - 👍 Lighting lobby very dull not lively and the bar lighting was soooooo dark not a lively atmosphere to drink without proper lighting very dead

• Thomas (10/5): - Excellent modern hotel with large clean rooms. Restaurant was excellent.
• Manjit (10/5): 👍 - 👍 Lighting
• SILVANO (8/5): - Ottima struttura in collocazione molto utile per la visita della città. Colazione buona e varia e buono anche il ristorante per la cena. Camera di larga dimensione e servizio di pulizia e riordino giornaliero perfetto. Comunque consigliato per soggiorno a Jaffna. Forse il rapporto qualità prezzo complessivo non del tutto adeguato.
• marleen (9/5): Dit verblijf is een aanrader - Zeer lekker eten, bekwaam personeel, zeer gastvrij, leuk zwembad, goede airco, hygiënisch, stonden steeds klaar om te helpen
• Pauline (8/5): Good value hotel. Excellent breakfast - Excellent breakfast. Nice pool. Friendly staff Good location The rooms needed a bit of attention- a minibar that didn’t work and extremely loud and difficult to control air conditioning
• Wiveca (5/5): 4 stjärnigt och dyrast av hittills fjärde hotellet. Dock var personalen mycket trevliga och hjälpsam - Frukost okej sammanfattningsvis väldigt ofräscht och nedgånget

• Evert (10/5): Geweldig hotel met mooie kamers en een uitstekend restaurant - ✅ Fantastisch personeel: niets was te veel ✅ Kraakheldere en super schone kamers ✅ Geweldig restaurant met uitgebreid ontbijtbuffet We hebben een fantastisch verblijf gehad in dit hotel. Het personeel verdient alle lof; ze waren ontzettend behulpzaam en werkelijk alles was mogelijk. Daarnaast was de kamer super schoon, wat ons direct een welkom gevoel gaf. Het absolute hoogtepunt voor ons was het eten in het restaurant. Vooral het ontbijtbuffet was geweldig, met een oneindige keuze aan gerechten. De verse egg hoppers waren een persoonlijke favoriet! We hebben echt genoten van de kwaliteit en de variatie die hier geboden werd. Een absolute aanrader voor iedereen die Jaffna bezoekt en van goed eten en een gastvrije sfeer houdt. niets
• Sathiadevi (10/5): Good, would recommend. - Modern with good food. Rooms were clean and well maintained. Francis was very kind and through with the room service. The other staff were very kind and helpful also.
• Anojan (9/5): -
• Ratnasabapathy (9/5): Fantastic stay in a great location. - Excellent breakfast. We use the restaurent few times and the food and hospitslity is very good. Housekeeping staff was fantastic. We are very happy with the house keeping daily room cleaning staff. The staff look after our room for cleaning and making bed wad excellent. Nothing particularly. It will be great if you could add lassi as option in the restarent.
• Kabilan (8/5): -
• Claudia (7/5): Angenehmer Aufenthalt in ruhiger Umgebung. - Sehr gutes Abendbüffet und ansprechendes Frühstück .Das Zimmer war immer sehr sauber gereinigt. Auf dem vorhandenen Balkon war weder Tisch noch Stuhl
• Sarah (8/5): Comfortable stay, great restaurant and just opposite the train station. - Great location just opposite the train station. City hotel rather than a traditional or architectural gem. Room was comfortable and clean. We enjoyed using the pool. Considerate staff. Highly recommend the restaurant - really wished we’d eaten here more!
• Martin (8/5): Great place, great views, great food - Excellent location, very friendly and helpful staff and the food was incredible (so many different delicious curries!) No filter coffee!
• Gayani (5/5): - Good Breakfast.

• Suri (8/5): - Good food. Indian chef 👍 Outlook from outside. Needs updating like bathroom etc.
• Solveig (10/5): Konfortable Suite, gute Lage, gern wieder. -
• Bernd (8/5): Empfehlenswert für ein paar Tage - Relativ ruhige Lage am Bahnhof (es fahren nicht viele Züge), gutes Restaurant und eine kleine Aussenterrasse am Pool, geräumiges Zimmer, alles vorhanden, was nötig ist. Fazit: guter 3 Sterne-Komfort Es ist nicht mehr das allerneueste Hotel, somit gibt es schon einige Gebrauchsspuren, was aber insgesamt nicht ins Gewicht fällt
• Jakoline (9/5): Aan te raden hotel in Jaffna. - Heerlijke kamer met groot terras . En als je met de trein reist1 minuut vanaf het treinstation. Niets
• Suchita (10/5): - Staff were incredibly helpful and kind since the moment we arrived to the hotel, the room service was simply exceptional, always keeping room very clean and tidy and even kindly folded our clothes. Never had such service anywhere else I’ve stayed, highly recommend and would definitely stay here again when we come back. Nothing

• Catherine (8/5): Good city hotel. - Great central location and a nice city hotel. I like that it had a pool even though I didn’t use it due to the weather. I really liked the buffet, at both breakfast and lunch. The bathroom in the room could do with minor maintenance.
• Leonie (9/5): Thoroughly enjoyed our stay - Everything, room, staff, food, pool, location. I thought the reception area wasn't bright and inviting. The chairs/seating in reception, speaking for myself, was too low.

• Sebaratnam (10/5): Sehr schöne Hotel, ich würde nochmal besuchen - Alles, beste Zimmer, Restaurant, sehr gute Frühstücken, Terrasse Tisch war nicht richtig sauber, und Zigaretten Reste lagen auf Boden( Für mich als nicht Rauchende eklig
• Chathushka (10/5): -
• Mohamed (10/5): Comfortable stay - 1. Next to the railway station. 2. Close to city 3. Clean neighborhood my Nothing much
• Brian (10/5): -
• sutherson (6/5): -
• Thavaganeshan (9/5): - Staff
• Eoin (10/5): I had a great time and hope to return to visit another time during the dry season and see more of the north of Sri Lanka - Clean, comfortable and very warm and helpful staff. Great location too Nothing really. Maybe a more extensive menu of Sri Lankan drinks in the bar
• Dr Balachandar (9/5): - The room is spacious, the staffs were good The location is a bot further from town
• Rachel (3/5): Outdated & overpriced - Location is next to train station. Some staff were lovely - especially in the restaurant. they took time to show me several rooms when I asked since none of them looked like the photos on this platform. Food was better than I expected. So bad I left early. Entire hotel is super outdated. water damage & painted patches everywhere. Dead bugs on hallway floors. Bathrooms are gross. The photos they use on here are very misleading. Also super noisy - you can hear everything from the hallway & people were partying with a karaoke speaker until 5AM on my floor. Price is outrageous for what you get.
• Singanayagam (8/5): -
• Mathura (6/5): -
• jayanthi (9/5): Had a lovely stay! - Clean and nice, staff were very helpful. Buffet Breakfast was great! A big selection of Srilankan food! Very tasty food on the Menu too.
• Thoustheen (7/5): -
• Jenothini (8/5): - Convenient location, friendly staff. The lobby , lounge, breakfast area, dining space, and swimming pool are available for gathering, socializing and team-building activities. Breakfast to be booked in advance to get discount. No Welcome drinks offered.
• Chandika (8/5): Generally good. - Breakfast was great and the location is very convenient if you commute by train. Close to the city centre as well. I thought the restaurant charges were bit expensive.
• Murali (10/5): - The location was beside the train station and the centre of town The were mosquitos and fly which comes in together with the guest. Would be nice if they installed electrical incest zappers at the lobby area.
• Christina (8/5): Perfekt für einen kurzen Aufenthalt. - Direkt am Bahnhof, sehr ruhig gelegen. Zu Fuß oder mit dem Tuktuk ist man schnell im Zentrum von Jaffna. Das Frühstück ist sehr gut, traditionell und als Buffet. So lecker! Nichts.
• Fritzroy (8/5): Hotel was in a great location, the staff were great & the food was delicious. - The location, food & staff were all great. No negatives but would have liked an iron in the room.
• Malini (8/5): -
• Katherine (7/5): - Staff are super accomodating and were very willing to help. The location is great too because it's literally just outside Jaffna Railway Station, so if you've got a bit of luggage it's a short 1 minute walk. The markets and shops are not too far by tuk tuk either, so super easy to get around. The buffet breakfast was amazing too - it's mostly Jaffna style curries and breakfast items but there are also a selection western style breakfasts. Rooms are large and very comfortable. There were ants in the sink every now and then but they would just disappear down the drains. The fans and AC unit are quite loud throughout the night, so many need a bit of updating on that. The restaurant was clean and staff were helpful. We didn't use the pool but it seemed pretty decent.
