    Jaffna is still recovering from the impact of the civil war.

    Jaffna is still recovering from the impact of the civil war. Tourism has yet to be fully exploited so accomodation choices are not wide. There is the 5 star Jetwing at one end of the scale and small boutique hotels and backpacker accommodation at the other. Jaffna has many attractions including the old Dutch fort, the Jaffna library (limited access) and a number of temples including the archaeological site at Kandarodai. A visit to the islands of Delft and Kayts is also possible, if you have time. Jaffna has its own distinctive cuisine which is delicious but we warned the heat is dialled up to 11!

    Jaffna is a fascinating space in terms of its history and also natural surroundings with its large water bodies and bird life. On this visit (and I have come many times before) we walked around the Catholic and the Jesuit seminary. But there are also the old missionary schools, the Hindu temples, the star fort, the causeways to Kayts and Karainaga.

    Jaffna is highly recommendable if you like to see Sri Lanka in a less mainstream tourist way. There is a lot to see, very interesting history and lots of cultural and religious highlights. Go to Nagadeepa and Delft Islabd as well for a day.

    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.

    The hotel is very new (only a few months I think) and there weren't many (or any?) other guests when I stayed, so it was very quiet. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, the food was tasty and the kitchen was open whenever I wanted to eat or drink something. The location was amazing, I was walking everywhere in town from there and it is very convenient for both the bus station and the train station. Would absolutely stay here again if (when!) I come back to Jaffna.

    The location is great, right next to the train station and the food served at the hotel restaurant is one of the tastiest in Jaffna. We got a free upgrade to a deluxe room, so that was great as well. The room was quite big and spacious and with a balcony. The swimming pool was nice and pleasant to use, and not crowded at all. They even let us check-out one hour later.

    Nice and comfortable room. Convenient location due to proximity to the railway station and bus stop and closer to other local amenities. Staff is professional and friendly. I had breakfast from the hotel restaurant which was very tasty and Jaffna traditional food options were available and enjoyed a lot.
