Jetwing Jaffna ★★★★

📍 37, Mahatma Gandhi Road, Jaffna

"The staff were very friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived to when we departed. The rooftop bar is a nice place to relax and have a bite/nibbles. There is a supermarket within walking distance and the Jaffna market is about 500m away. Overall a good choice when staying in Jaffna."

Jetwing Mahesa Bhawan ★★★★

📍 3rd Cross St, Jaffna

"Our family stayed at Jetwing Mahesa Bhawan while visiting Jaffna and was blown away by the welcoming atmosphere and personalized experience. The staff led by Jannaka at Mahesa Bhawan were so friendly, creating a unique experience for all of us. The meals and snacks were delicious and cooked fresh every time. The property was excellently kept and at a good location. From morning tea, to swims at the pool at night and all the personalized meals in between our family couldn't have picked a better place to stay at while visiting Jaffna. Huge thank you to Jannaka and the staff at Jetwing Mahesa Bhawan that made our stay so memorable!"

The Valampuri
7.4 (42 reviews)

The Valampuri ★★★★

📍 148, 10 Railway, 136 Station Rd, Jaffna

"9.66467°, 80.02149° very close the Jaffna train station, guests are woken early in the morning by the noise of trains. This multi-storey, multi-wing hotel tries to be a luxury hotel. In March 2024, room 361 (3F) with balcony was not cleaned properly. Due to the 2019 bombing and COVID-19 lockdown, investment in maintenance is clearly overdue. The air conditioner made a rattling noise. The ceiling fan allowed us to sleep on a comfortable double bed. The hot shower was good. The minibar was stocked with beer. Wi-Fi-reception was good. The hotel has a swimming pool, buffet restaurant and outside terrace. Breakfast of Sri Lankan and continental items was good. Laundry service was available. The Valampuri hotel offered a basic sleeping experience."

Jetwing Mahesa Bhawan ★★★★
"This was a lovely hotel in a former home that felt like home. The staff couldn’t have been sweeter, Kogulan, the chief butler, Janaka the butler and Merkata the fabulous cook all took great care of us. Our room was the peacock room which I recommend. We hated to leave!"

The Valampuri ★★★★
"My clients stay at Valampuri Hotel in Jaffna was extremely disappointing. The hotel was shockingly dirty and clearly not well-maintained. The cleanliness standards were well below acceptable levels, with unkempt rooms and common areas. Additionally, the service was abysmal. Staff members were inattentive and unhelpful, showing a lack of professionalism and courtesy. Overall, I cannot recommend this hotel to anyone considering a stay in Jaffna. It was a regrettable experience that left me feeling thoroughly dissatisfied. The lack of cleanliness was not confined to our room; it was evident throughout the hotel premises. Common areas were unkempt, and cleanliness standards were well below acceptable levels. This was deeply concerning and not in line with the standards one would expect from a reputable hotel. Furthermore, the service we received was disappointing. Staff members appeared inattentive and unhelpful, lacking the professionalism and courtesy expected in the hospitality industry. Their demeanor only added to our dissatisfaction with our overall experience at Valampuri Hotel. As a result of these issues, I regret to inform you that I cannot in good conscience recommend your hotel to anyone considering a stay in Jaffna. It is imperative that immediate action is taken to address the cleanliness issues and improve the quality of service provided to guests. I urge you to take this feedback seriously and implement measures to rectify the shortcomings we experienced during our stay. Your prompt attention to these matters would be greatly appreciated and may help prevent similar negative experiences for future guests."

Jaffna Heritage Villa ★★★★
"I had a fantastic experience at Hotel Heritage Villa in Jaffna. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel right at home with their warm and friendly welcome. One staff member who truly stood out was Piranavan, who provided exceptional customer service throughout my stay. He was always attentive, professional, and willing to go the extra mile to ensure I had everything I needed. His genuine care and helpfulness really enhanced my overall experience. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, with a charming, rustic atmosphere that adds to the overall appeal of the place. The rooms were clean, well-maintained, and comfortable, providing a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring Jaffna. The location is also great, offering easy access to nearby attractions, making it a convenient base for travelers. What I appreciated the most was the attention to detail in both the service and the facilities. The staff, led by Piranavan, ensured that all guests felt valued and well taken care of. The food at the hotel was delicious, with a good variety of local and international dishes to choose from. Overall, I highly recommend Hotel Heritage Villa for anyone visiting Jaffna. It’s a wonderful place to stay!"
