The food and service were absolutely amazing, and they even helped me get xeroxed copies for a work project!! I felt like I was coming home at the end of a long workday. They always had my "king cocoanut" juice waiting for me! Fabulous internet. Never a power outage like most places.

Thisha Hotel, hotel in Jaffna

Thisha Hotel is located in Jaffna, 6.2 mi from the city center, 3.7 mi from Nilavarai Well and 4.3 mi from Naguleswaram Temple. This 5-star hotel offers free WiFi.

Good location between Jaffna and Kankesanturai to explore attractions on both sides. May take around 20 - 25 minutes on bus to reach either city / village though. I was able to explore Jaffna, Keerimalai, Kankesanturai and Point Pedro while staying in here. Impressed by the responsiveness for messages through Booking.com and responded immediately even in the middle of the night which I didn't expect at all. Gausegan has been very helpful and made arrangements quickly to let me check in early on which was much appreciated. Staff were delightful and complied with all the requests promptly. It was a comfortable stay for a great value. Both the room and bathroom were clean and had necessary facilities along with a table, utensils, towels and toiletries. They have their own restaurant to order food and drinks which was convienient.

    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.

    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.
