    Comfortable rooms, excellent location near train station and colonial building with charming decor. Spacious, clean rooms with A/C, four-poster beds, and large bathrooms. Friendly and helpful staff, delicious breakfast, and helpful assistance with arranging tours and transportation. a great choice for exploring Jaffna.

    I had such a blast in Jaffna, enjoying the fabulous continental breakfast and exploring the popular cycling routes. The staff arranged a tuk tuk tour for me and even a car hire. Loved every moment!

    Couldn't find a single flaw, oh wait, the only thing missing was a personal butler. What a shame!

    The hotel provided great value for money, with affordable prices and attention to detail. The location was incredibly convenient, being very close to the train station. The staff exhibited excellent service and were very friendly and helpful. The rooms on the first floor were well-equipped with AC and a lovely balcony to relax on. The breakfast offered by the hotel was delicious and satisfying.

    All in all, our stay at this hotel was just fine.

    I recently had a pleasant stay at a charming resort in Jaffna. The spacious room was beautifully decorated and the garden was simply lovely. The friendly young guy who served us was always polite and had a constant smile. Despite a few minor drawbacks, like an outdated bathroom and poor Wi-Fi, overall I would recommend this hotel.

The hotel facilities were impressive, including parking options and transportation services. The breakfast was delicious, and the location was very close to the train station, making it easy to travel to other places.

    Nothing to mention.

    This hotel is a hidden gem! the location is perfect, just a stone's throw away from the train station and surrounded by fantastic restaurants. Secondly, the staff here are amazing, always friendly and attentive. They really go the extra mile to make you feel welcome. Thirdly, the rooms are comfortable and clean, with lovely balconies to relax on. Lastly, the breakfast served here is delicious and will definitely set you up for the day.

    All in all, this hotel was a great find and I couldn't fault a thing.

    I always return to the place where I found my lost shower bag. It suits me perfectly with Wi-Fi, free parking, a 24-hour reception, and a restaurant. It has everything I need for my business trips, like flat-screen TV, express check-in/out, and a paid airport shuttle.

    Our recent stay in the north of Sri Lanka provided us with a pleasant surprise. the hospitality and professional behavior of the staff made us feel most welcome. the food was first class and value for money. the tuk tuk ride was a fantastic experience. the cleanliness of the hotel was impressive and enhanced our whole holiday experience.

    there was no facility to accept credit cards which would have made payment much easier. there were ongoing renovations taking place in the background which slightly distracted from our experience.

    I had a fantastic stay at this hotel in Jaffna. the location was perfect as it was very close to the train station, which made it convenient for exploring the city. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, always going above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with amenities such as towels and AC. I especially loved the lovely balcony on the first floor where I could relax and enjoy the view. Lastly, the breakfast provided was delicious, with a variety of options that changed each day.

    Nothing could be improved, it was all perfect!

    Our recent stay was incredible. We loved the location, making it easy to explore the town and nearby attractions, thanks to its proximity to the train station. The room was comfortable, and the bathroom had ample hot water. The staff was friendly and helpful, offering suggestions for things to do and places to eat. The breakfast was delicious and filling. We enjoyed the charming verandah and beautiful garden. a wonderful experience at a great value.

    The only minor issue was communication with some staff members, but they were still friendly and helpful.

    Saw amazing wildlife from balcony. Friendly staff gave great recommendations for exploring the area. We had our best meal during our trip on xmas.

    Room was basic with poor quality bedding. Hot water tank in room didn't work and caused us to have to shower in another room.

    This resort offers spacious, well-decorated rooms with good AC and a lovely surrounding greenery. The friendly and helpful staff, including the manager, make for a pleasant stay. The hotel is also conveniently located close to town and attractions, and they even assist with arranging cab services. The clean environment and delicious food served in the restaurant upstairs add to the overall positive experience. It's a great place to stay for a vacation.

    Felt completely at home, no complaints at all.
