My top pick for a stay in Jaffna is undoubtedly North Gate Jaffna. We, a group of six, stayed for just over a week, booking a suite and a deluxe twin room. Upon arrival, we were greeted with welcome drinks and a friendly staff team. Gopinath, the front office manager, made sure our experience was comfortable throughout our stay. The hotel excelled in every aspect, from food and entertainment to accommodations. The restaurant offered a diverse menu, ensuring we always had new dishes to try. Room service was both quick and exceptionally friendly, much to my children’s delight. Kajintharan, who deserves a special mention, kept our room spotless daily and amused the kids with multiple towel animals. Having visited several other hotels and restaurants in Jaffna, I can confidently say none compare to North Gate Jaffna. It's the ideal choice for anyone seeking comfort, great food, and entertainment, complete with a well-maintained, sizable swimming pool.

We spent 3 nights at the Hertiage Hotel and had the best time. The facilities are outstanding, the staff is super nice. Breakfast is superb. Having access to a pool in the heat of Jaffna is priceless. Great vegetarian food options around the corner. Rios Ice Cream is loved by locals and you should try it as well.

Very central hotel. Lovely swimming pool. Bed was comfortable and the room big and cool, though somewhat tired in the decor. The new shower was the best so far in Sri Lanka - proper pressure and warm to boot!!
The breakfasts were lovely - buffet style, hot and tasty. There was a lot of shouting going on in the kitchen which made for a very funny Fawlty Towers breakfast - everytime the waitress came out she was as cool as a cucumber, but when she went back, merry hell would break out!!!!!

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.

Nagadeepa temple and Nagamma kovil was most attracted places to visit in Jaffana along with Jaffna Fort and Library and Museum.
Although the Road to Nagadeepa has to be repaired . The City and Roads are clean and the people are very kind
The Hotel is very lovely and is full of old world charm. Our room opened onto the front courtyard which we enjoyed. The staff was helpful organizing day tours with a locally certified and knowledgeable guide. The restaurant staff is very friendly and provide intentive service. We traveled to Jaffna for the food and were surprised every morning and evening with high quality and delicious Jaffna cuisine. We were able to learn from the chef in an interactive cooking lesson. We enjoyed our 4 days at the Fox Jaffna and can recommend staying there.
So… when i booked the villa i checked and saw that there is a train from Colombo to Jaffna. 2 weeks before the trip I decided to book online train tickets and was surprised to see that there wasn’t train. I wrote to Nisha, the owner, and he replied that he would be in Colombo at that time and pick us up to the villa. We had a free transfer from the airport to the villa.
Good location, good service and food. We also had a free shuttle from the villa to Jaffna train station.
Thank you so much for all 🙏
The best service 👍
Our stay at Berty’s Cottage was outstanding. Berty and Hilda are wonderful people really helpful with anything we needed, train, tuk tuk & tours before and after we arrived. Food was delicious as we requested genuine Sri Lankan and my husband got great cooking tips in the kitchen with dinner. They even packed our breakfast because we had a very early departure. The accommodation and their home is very clean and we felt welcome in all living areas. Thank you Berty and Hilda for a wonderful visit to Jaffna.

If you want to stay in Jaffna, staying at Tony is an absolute must. The guy is helpful, welcoming, generous, friendly and is keen on sharing about the local life.
Wish I could put 20/10
The breakfast options were great and affordable
The house is very big with spacious outdoor areas.
There is also the nicest and cleanest dog I have ever seen: a golden retriever named Sophie who is around but keeps its boundaries when you need it.
There is absolutely nothing to add to the comments already given by the other guests. Allen makes you feel like at home even you are far away from home.
He is an absolutely perfect and attentive host and it seems he is able to read the guests wishes and needs from their eyes.
Thank you Allen for making our stay in Jaffna and surrounding areas unforgettable!
We can highly recommend his guesthouse and hope to return sometime.
Very conveniently located with easy access to many interesting locations. Haran was a wonderful host and his recommendations on where to eat and how to get about comes highly recommended. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. The Jaffna type breakfast choice was good and generous. Overall, a wonderful place to stay for anyone visiting Jaffna.
Tony is a friendly, responsive, and knowledgeable host who will do everything he can to make your stay in Jaffna perfect from recommending transport and market finds to arranging scooter rental to explore the islands. The house has a good location just outside the center. The rooms are basic but clean and a great value.

The area is very nice with palm trees and a terrace, and the location of the hotel, a little removed from the bustle of Jaffna, was very peaceful. The staff were very friendly and helpful and helped us to get scooters and also find accommodation on Delft island.
Very comfortable and clean room. Hotel is well-located just 100 metres from the train station and walking distance to the fort, we could see Nallur temple from our room. The staff kindly arranged accommodation for our driver in the driver's quarters.
Mr. Dilan is an amazing host. Amazing people. Always greet you with a smile and so welcoming. Dilan arranged us a tuktuk at a very reasonable price to travel around Jaffna. Calm and quiet place. No disturbance at all. Will visit there again for sure.
It's a nice and new place with a very nice bathroom compared to some similarly priced places. The host is very friendly and helpful providing all the information about Jaffna and the surroundings you need including a pdf.
The location was super. Easy access to Jaffna town. Friendly staff and they are very helpful. They arranged us three motor bikes too. Love this place. Can recomend this place for everyone.
My stay at Gnaanams hotel was very comfortable. The staff was friendly, the room was okay, and the location was perfect for exploring the city. I would definitely recommend this hotel!
