Convenient location right next to railway station but also quiet. Spacious and attractive room, pool was clean and refreshing. Some of the best food I’ve had in Sri Lanka. Staff was attentive and welcoming and always ready to help, from the front desk to the restaurant Special appreciation for the young woman at front desk (Ms Thanthoty ? sorry for misspelling ) who helped me book my onward bus ticket.

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.

It is a nice and quiet modern hotel with good facilities. The room was clean and tidy, with a comfortable bed and pillows. There is a fridge in the room and and tea making facilities in the lounge area outside the room. We were given two small bottles of water on arrival. The shower works well with good hot water, once you get it adjusted properly. There is a shower screen too, but like all bathrooms in Sri Lanka the bathroom floor still gets wet. The air conditioner works well and the room also has a large ceiling fan. The hotel is well located just 1.6 kilometers from Jaffna Fort and about a kilometre from the rooftop bar at the Jaffna Jetwing Hotel. Breakfast was not included but is available, we did not have breakfast at the hotel. All in all a good place to stay.

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
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
We really liked Betty’s Cottage and the owners were really nice. They booked our bus from Colombo to Jaffna which was a huge help, and they waited up until 4 am for us to arrive. We had only booked the place for the following night so they charged us half a day. The breakfast offered was fine, nothing to rave about. The WiFi is really good! The hosts are also nice and very dedicated to making sure we got everything we needed.
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.

It is located in a walking distance to the Nallur Kandaswami temple and also not far from the major attractions in Jaffna. If you travel to Jaffna by train it is much more easier to reach by a tuk tuk. I was traveling to experience the Nallur feast 2023 and had a great time due to the Inns' location mainly. Apart from that the staff is very helpful and friendly. Really worth the price. I recommend it 👌
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!
We were a bit skeptical when we arrived as it looks like a builing site, turns out the hotel is behind the building works! There was no building going on during our stay, so we weren’t disturbed by any noise. Clean, quiet and spacious room that allowed us to get a good nights sleep in Jaffna
The staff was incredibly friendly, and the rooms and bathrooms were super clean. Everything, from the hot water shower to the TV and air conditioning, worked perfectly. The management was very flexible, and I'd totally recommend this hotel to anyone—it's a great value for the money!
The stay was great value for money. The hotel rooms are basic but clean and comfortable with air conditioning. Raj is fantastic host and was able to sort out tuktuks and our scooter hire (this being at very short notice). We had a lovely breakfast and enjoyed our stay in Jaffna.
This hotel was like a little oasis of calm in chaos of Jaffna. The room, the staff, the food - all just great. I liked my room near the street so I could hear the cow bellowing and the street sweeper in the morning. I appreciated the city tour organized for me.
A great place to stay. Very pleasant and helpful staff. We were helped with day trips which were very enjoyable. Tasty breakfasts. The building itself was lovely in the traditional Jaffna style. Would stay again.
We had a great stay at the Fox Hotel. Beautiful place, the room was great and the food delicious. The staff was very nice and full of advices. We highly recommend spending few days there if you’re in Jaffna.
The family looking after the property is friendly and helpful. Location is convenient. Gives a home stay feel which is good. The garden and vintage style house gives a nice Jaffna vibe.
Large room. Actually two rooms with two large beds in them . Very close to railway station which is handy as morning Colombo train leaves at 6 am. 10 min walk into central Jaffna
