    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

    I loved the local life feel of Jaffna.

    I loved the local life feel of Jaffna. People are not dependent on tourists here and it was a good insight into the rhythms of Sri Lankan everyday life. The food is delicious and well spiced. Try the dosa's for dinner and pitthu for brekfast. The beaches along the north coast (KKS, Point Pedro) are not worth the fuss, however we did not have time to see any of the beach life on the islands so you may be rewarded there.

    My partner and I recently stayed at Jaffna North Gate Hotel during our trip to Jaffna. We found the hotel to be a good option for those looking for accommodation in the area. The hotel's restaurant was definitely the highlight of our stay, with a great selection of delicious dishes at affordable prices. The breakfast buffet was also fantastic, offering a variety of options that were both tasty and satisfying. Moreover, the restaurant staff were lovely, friendly, and always willing to assist us in any way they could.

    First thing is the staff. They are very friendly. They have made us more helpful, safe, mind relaxing & supportive environment in the location. Also the location is much better we can have a quick walk to the town, Malayan cafe, Jaffna market, Bus stand and lot more. That’s really great. And also this property has AC and hot water facilities as well. For the cost this is really worthy choice.

    The hotel had a generator which was so lucky at this moment in time in Sri Lanka. My stay was very comfortable for this reason. The staff were very kind and friendly. The room was clean and spacious and everything worked well. The bed was really comfortable. The hotel opposite is very luxurious too, the staff were kind enough to show me the roof terrace which has a lovely view of Jaffna!

    Allen is incredible, one of the most hospitable hosts I’ve ever had the pleasure of being greeted by. If you’re looking for the perfect place to stay in Jaffna, this is it. The warm atmosphere, the art on the walls and in the yard, all the little details create a home away from home atmosphere. One of the reasons we want to come back to Jaffna is to stay here again.

    Miss. Iniyal, the manager, greeted me with a smile and made sure that I got what I actually wanted to get, I mean basically anything which does not necessarily have to be related to the hotel stay. She also was doing house-keeping where she made sure that the room was spotlessly clean. The boss of the place, Mr. Thilak was also kind and managed the place well.

    Excellent customer service, great value for money, and totally exceeded my expectations. Our stay was great and it felt very luxurious. This is probably the best hotel to stay in the Jaffna area. The prices are higher than the other hotels in the area, but the service and accomodation makes it great value for money.

    The staff are very welcoming and helped us with things outside of our hotel stay. Breakfast was a very good Sri Lankan breakfast, but they will cater for western tastes. The staff prepared unripe mangos from their tree.... you eat them with a little salt... skin aswell, a really thoughtful treat.
