Guests at the guest house can enjoy an Asian or a vegetarian breakfast. There is a coffee shop, and packed lunches are also available. Extremely hospitable host, great location in the heart of Jaffna, good breakfast. It was probably the best guesthouse/homestay during my 1 month trip to Sri Lanka.

Located within 400 metres of Jaffna Railway Station and 1.2 km of Jaffna Public Library in Jaffna, J City Holidays Inn features accommodation with seating area. It is situated 1.7 km from Jaffna Fort and offers a 24-hour front desk. The guest house provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. We stayed here for 6 nights and couldn’t have been happier. The location is perfect, within walking distance of Jaffna town, with plenty of nice restaurants, shopping complexes, and much more nearby. The host, Shero, is incredibly friendly, charming, and helpful throughout the stay. The bed is comfortable, and the room is spacious enough for a very pleasant experience. If you need room service, you only have to ask — the room will be cleaned and fresh towels provided. For guests coming from Europe, you might miss having thicker duvets, but just ask and you’ll be given extra bedding. A lovely place to stay – and truly great value for money. Highly recommended! I already plan to stay here again next year when I visit Jaffna.
