Very friendly staff. It's actually a home stay. I think the owner's family lives on the ground floor. But rooms are up to standards. Good A/c. The toilet is alright. But i had a issue with water stream.

    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.

    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.

    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 !!!

    Jaffna is a beautiful place to visit.

    Jaffna is a beautiful place to visit. Places and temples are beautifully crafted with ancestral works. People we met were friendly and courteous. Places like Nallur Kandaswamy Temple, Nagadeepa Vihara and Nagapooshani Amman Temple in an island, and few other places, it’s beyond words. Need to feel the atmosphere personally to have the divine presence and connection within one’s self. Best food eatery place for us is Jaffna Authentic Cuisine. Getting around places is convenient with auto and grab cabs too.

    Fox Jaffna was a great stay. We stayed for 2 nights as a base to explore the northern peninsula of Sri Lanka. The room was clean and spacious and the hotel grounds were very nice. The history of the property and on site museum, including remnants of wartime bunkers, was interesting. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all exceptional. One evening a buffet was held which gave a good opportunity to sample many local dishes.

    We had a wonderful time at Thambu Illam! A beautiful boutique hotel in a convenient location in Jaffna. We were lucky to have the place to ourselves and the staff were very accommodating, and Mathu even reached out to us ahead of arrival to arrange pickup from the train station which was really appreciated! The food was great and we also enjoyed using the pool :)

    Convenient to railway station, 20 minute walk to Jaffna CBD/Fort. Some restaurants and shops within 5 minutes walk. I think I was the only person who used the swimming pool in the three days I was staying. Staff were friendly and helpful.
