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$46.67 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.9Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 267 reviewsThis hotel is set in a large leafy garden with the outdoor eating area shaded by a huge jackfruit tree. The rooms are spacious and very clean. The shower was exceptional. The beds and pillows were comfortable. Breakfast had a choice of options which was very good. We ate here for dinner on our first night and the meal was well prepared and presented. We had our own vehicle and parking was available on site. It was a short drive to Jaffna Fort and the centre of town.Guest review byLEANNEAustralia
- From US$174.90 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.1Superb - What previous guests thought, 226 reviewsWe 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 :)Guest review byKirstyUnited Kingdom
- From US$164.85 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.9Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 223 reviewsThe booking was very last minute but once we arrived the staff were very attentive and made us feel welcome. The initial booking was for 1 night but the hotel staff made it very easy when I requested for an additional night. The breakfast included was splendid, no faults at all. Will definitely book this place when I come back to Jaffna.Guest review byBharath ChandrahasanAustralia
