The location is as central as you would like to be in Jaffna. The facilities are a bit faded but the breakfast spread and the service from the owner Haran and all the other star is on a different level. Myself and my family agree that our stay was 11 out of 10 simply because of how Haran and his Team made us feel. We wish Haran and Team all the very best

Such a lovely stay with Karthi Akka and her beautiful family. The home itself has been beautifully kept to reflect what open plan living was like once in Jaffna. I loved my outdoor shower and bath tub! Karthi is an amazing cook and this location was perfect for me being close to family. Travelling alone as a woman, I felt very safe and looked after.

Lovely stay in the centre of Jaffna - very convenient location. Rooms were clean and comfortable and the bathrooms seemed newly renovated. We enjoyed the food too- would recommend to those who want to experience Jaffna’s first hotel.

Great place to stay in Jaffna. Rooms are spacious and comfortable - beds could do with mosquito nets though. Nice location right next to the train station and a short walk from a few nice restaurants. They also serve dinner here which is a good price and very delicious! Service from the staff is first class, they make sure you’re have an enjoyable stay. This place also has a generator. Highly recommend for your stay in Jaffna. I will be back next time I’m in Jaffna.
