We had a wonderfull time at Thambu Illa. Mathu and Sutha did everything possible to make our 3 night stay a pleasant one. They also organised a private guided tour of Jaffna and the peninsula. It was really worth it. The breakfast was according to our wish srilankan or western. Lunch/dinner is ordered from out and very tasty. They have reliable TukTuk drivers and tipps for Jaffna eateries on hand. We want. to come back!!

A very nice hotel in the heart of Jaffna, yet in a quiet location. The rooms are nice and spacious and consist of a living area and a bedroom. The restaurant is highly recommended. It serves very authentic and delicious regional cuisine. The staff is very accommodating, and Dinesh, in particular, gave us a lot of additional information. The hotel is good value for money, and we ate in the restaurant every evening and tried many dishes on the menu. The pool and gym are cleaned daily, and everything is very tidy.

We had an ideal stay at Chapters Jaffna. Since we traveled in our own vehicle, it was very helpful that the manager took the time to guide us with our route plan and suggest the best times to visit key attractions such as Nagadeepa and other prime locations in Jaffna. The property has ample parking and a comfortable driver's quarters outside the house. The nearby Ammachchi Veg Restaurant was a great convenience, offering tasty meals at reasonable prices, perfect for quick and satisfying dining. Overall, we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay at Chapters in Jaffna and truly appreciated the warm hospitality

This is an exceptional place where you can truly escape the hustle and bustle of every day life, where you are lulled to sleep at night the sound of waves. The eco-conscious huts are exceptionally well made and comfortable. Staff are universally friendly and helpful and the food is delicious. Do not miss the cuttlefish curry which is to die for. The very friendly owner went out of his way to help me plan my days in Jaffna. Highly recommended
