Bathroom was not clean. No hot water in the bathroom. A less than average hotel that charges at 5* rate. Would not be staying here again or recommending to anyone.

All of the staff were amazing, at breakfast they somehow sensed when I wanted some more tea! The food was really delicious, a great selection of curries (as well as western foods - although I stuck with the local fare). The hotel location was very central and made it easy to see some of the sites in the city centre (market, fort, old kachcheri etc.). If I was planning a trip to Jaffna in the future, I would definitely stay here again.

Good hotel
Good hotel. Not very crowded when we were there. Bottled water provided daily, but would prefer plastic bottles instead of glass. Breakfast was great. Walkable, This was a family visit trip so mostly stayed in the hotel.

Stayed Dec 2023. Family of 4.
Rooms: clean, adequate space for 2 ppl in each room. Bed is hard for our liking though.
Washroom: clean, enough hot water. Shower head was not fully functional but still enough to take a decent shower.
Food: 5/5 no complaints.
Staff: 5/5.
Fitness area: small limited space.
Pool: 5/5.
Notes: I would request extra towel to put on washroom floor so its not too wet. Went during Christmas and didn't need to make any food reservations. Would request for level 4 or above room to get decent view of the skyline.

Overall this is a good hotel located closer to the Jaffna town and by the Jaffna railyway station. I took a small group with me this time for 3 nights and this was my second time this year. Hotel needs to improve maintance big time. I could not lock the balcony door due to the latch that was missing and the room was on the second floor so anyone could have easily got into the room by the tree branch which was touching the balcony. It was fixed on the same day but I was even wondering how the latch was missing in the first place and no one noticed. Also the service system which I can use to indicate 'do not disturb' wasnt working but maintanace did not fix it, due to that housekeeping cleaned my room daily even though I verbally instructed them not to. A few of my friends in my group exprienced the same. Beside these annoyances, the hotel has friendly staff. The chef made delicious breakfast every morning. I will definitly visit again.

Great place with very friendly staff! My wife and I stayed here in April of 2023 and really enjoyed it. The location is perfect for walking around Jaffna and they even have bicycles available for those who want to cycle. The breakfast and dinners were delicious. I would recommend staying here!

Centrally located and easy to get to. The hotel rooms are of a high standard compared to some others in the area. The food was good. Breakfast is a worthwhile option. Has an amazing crab curry with naan. The check-inprocess needs to be a bit more efficient. Overall can recommend it.
