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.

Good location in town but down a quiet steet so no noise issues. Close to some good places to eat (go to the Malayan Cafe) and the bus terminal. A bit of a long walk but still walkable to the fort. Along the way you'll pass through some markets and the public library which is a beautiful old building. Staff were friendly and there was security outside. There was a shared lounge area between a couple other rooms where you could make a tea and sit down. Air con was crispy cold and there was a fan too. Very clean. Comfortable beds.

    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. 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

    Lovely good size room with excellent air conditioning which was needed in hot conditions and a fan. Room was spotless. Outside communal balcony with electric kettle. Access to shared kitchen and washing ironing facilities. Property set in nice gardens next to the old park. Grocery stores shops near by and only 25 walk to dutch fort and town centre but also lots buses at end of the road. Very friendly staff with good local knowledge and speak good english. Great place to stay to enjoy the beauty of Jaffna. Good value for money.

    This is a small inn situated close to the Old park, which is very easily accessible from Jaffna town. From railway station, you can walk to the Tony's Garden in 15 minutes or a Tuk would cost around Rs. 300 in 5 minutes. Our host was kind enough to let us check in early. Our room (family room) was in the ground floor and had 3 beds, which could accommodate 4 people. The room had a fan & an air-conditioner. The bathroom was clean. The property was clean & the host was very friendly & supportive.

    Berty and his wife are charming hosts and nothing is too much trouble for them. Their cooking is absolutely delicious - a delight to get enjoyed. The rooms are spacious and very clean. I had left my medicines in Colombo and Berty took me I to the pharmacy to have the replaced. Their ho e is situated in a very quiet area and you wake to the sound of a variety of birds. A very enjoyable and comfortable stay and I will definitely stay there again when I next return to Jaffna

    Located outside of Jaffna town, off the main road, easily accessable by bus. Owner Dilan is very helpful, arranges Jaffna islands and Point Pedro round trips with tuktuk. Also could use a bicycle for extended excursions. The train line behind the house was not disturbing as trains do not operate during night. Breakfast is delicious and plentiful. Dilan is also owner of D'Villa Garden House. I recommend staying here.

    The location was excellent, just a few minutes tuk tuk ride from Jaffna train station. We had dinner at Green Star Villa on two nights and it was excellent value for money - reasonably priced and fresh and very tasty. Not sure if we were allowed to have seconds but we did without additional charge. The staff were very friendly and accommodating of our needs.
