We enjoyed visiting the Nallur temple, fish market and fishing village and especially the excursions around the Jaffna peninsula and the nearby islands. August is a great month to be in Jaffna, as there are temple festivals all around, with music and rituals. For a nice cold beer and some snacks, the Machang bar / restaurant - near the modern North Gate Hotel - is highly recommended. For a mid-morning snack, the old-fashioned Malayan café near the busy market is a great place where time seems to have stood still. Food is served on fresh banana leaves - which are thrown away in the 'banana leaf throwing station'. For a decent evening meal, head to the Valampuri restaurant - in the hotel of the same name. You'll be surrounded by lots of Sri Lankan family groups.Guest review byMARIA GUILLAUMINESpain - 10.0

"Jaffna is a truly impressive city—very clean, peaceful, and notably low on traffic. We had a wonderful stay at the North Gate Hotel, situated right next to the railway station. What surprised and delighted us most was the spotless condition of the Jaffna Railway Station. In our experience, railway areas are typically the dirtiest, but the excellent maintenance here created a lovely and quiet environment right outside our hotel. Our sincere thanks to the Railway Master for setting such a high standard! We absolutely loved our visit and look forward to returning."Guest review bySuabeySri Lanka - 10.0
Jaffna is still an unspoiled and hidden gem of a city.
Jaffna is still an unspoiled and hidden gem of a city. People are super friendly and the city is bustling and easy to navigate. There is a beech just outside the city center which is quiet and beautiful. It was very hot when we visited in july but we did not mind this at all.Guest review bySeanUnited Kingdom - 10.0

Jaffna is lovely city and it’s a shame we didn’t stay longer. It has changed a lot since our last visit 7 years ago with a lot more development but a shame so many franchises have opened up. It has a nice mix of tourist attractions and yet maintains its charm as a local area. The Rio ice cream is the best! I wish we had more time to enjoy local cuisine.Guest review byPratikshaUnited Kingdom - 8.0

Jaffna is a hot place and therefore the transport facilities should facilitate the climate. Jaffna is also not clean as compared to the other places in Sri Lanka. Need a concerted public awareness campaign to all residents of Jaffna. People's attitude should change !!!Guest review byKandiah

- From US$233.64 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.5Very good - What previous guests thought, 607 reviewsStaff is extremely helpful and friendly, food is amazing especially Christmas buffet with the Jaffna crab curry. Gym and pool were fun. Hotel is close to the town and Yazhpanam train station. You can walk to closeby restaurants such as Jaffna Authentic Cuisine and also walk to Jaffna Library, clock tower etc. Driver we booked through the hotel, Prashanth, was also lovely and was like a tour guide, educating us with important information about places we visited and learning with us also.Guest review byKasundiAustralia

I would recommend staying here, but do not expect an updated hotel. The staff were kind and helpful. We were happy we travelled to Jaffna, and we hope tourism increases to help support the economy..Guest review byGrahamCanada

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.Guest review byKathrynCanada
