We loved everything about our stay. The room was so nice and clean. The breakfast was delicious and we could choose exactly what we wanted to eat the day before. The staff was kind and helpful. It's an old house with a gentle renovation so the spirit of the history was preserved in a beautiful way. All in all we had a wonderful time at Thambu Illam.

This place is so amazing, spacious, clean and quiet, close to Jaffna airport. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, I felt right at home. Special mention to Dillakshi, Prasanna, Prinsen, Dineshan, Saranya who helped us with what dishes to try, what places to see etc. The Manager Rushan was equally helpful and offered to help us book another stay on our return to Jaffna from Trincomalee. And the food was delicious! Thank you Thinnai for a thoroughly enjoyable stay, we are certainly coming back! :-)

Location: Located in the center of Jaffna peninsula, having fair distance to most of the places of interest. Located away from busyness of Jaffna town, in a calm and quiet environment, yet on a main road. Place: Perfect getaway from your busy life. The place is equipped with 3 spacious rooms, and you have the entire place to yourself (home away from home). Large attached bathrooms with hot water. Perfect for families. Service: The place is super clean and well maintained. Friendly staff. Great hospitality. Staff is very supportive and they go above and beyond to make your stay a happier one. The owner Mr. Rajkumar is friendly and helpful, speaks English, Tamil and Sinhalese fluently, and just a call away. The caretakers Thaksi and Ranjit make you feel at home (caution: they literally become part of your family if you stay long 😂). Meals: Serves homemade authentic Jaffna breakfast - cooked with love ❤️ Highly recommended 👌

All staff were very friendly, helpful, warm, and accommodating—from the reception to the room boy to the restaurant. Our room was very spacious, comfortable, and clean. Our room boy, A. Sajanthan, was the best we've ever had. He anticipated our every need. The food was the highlight for us. We had a traditional Jaffna-style buffet as well as international dishes that we could order à la carte. No matter what we ordered, everything was delicious. Many thanks to the kitchen team. The service staff in the restaurant and bar were also very friendly. The staff always try to please you. No matter how busy and stressful the restaurant was, they always served us with a smile and never lost their composure. Our sincere thanks go to the catering staff: Pavithira, Sasiram, Kayana, Subaram, Elamaram, Kajeepan, and Rusanth. And finally, a special thank you to the managers Gobi and Sam, who were incredibly kind and made sure everything was perfect. We will definitely return to North Gate next year. Thank you again for everything.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Humming Birds Suites in Jaffna, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The hotel is conveniently located near key landmarks such as the Jaffna Public Library and Jaffna Fort, making it an ideal base for exploring the city. The rooms are spacious, well-appointed, and offer stunning city views from private balconies. Each room is equipped with modern amenities, including air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and comfortable workspaces, ensuring a relaxing and productive stay. The bathrooms are clean and come with all necessary toiletries, adding to the overall convenience. What truly sets Humming Birds Suites apart is its exceptional service. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always ready to assist with any requests. The hotel also offers free Wi-Fi and on-site parking, catering to a wide range of traveler needs. For those seeking a comfortable, clean, and hospitable place to stay in Jaffna, I highly recommend Humming Birds Suites. It’s a true gem that combines modern comfort with warm Sri Lankan hospitality.

We had a great stay at this hotel. The location is perfect just a short walk to the town center, yet surprisingly quiet and peaceful. It offers the best of both worlds: convenience and tranquility. The staff were excellent and extremely helpful, always ready to assist with a smile. Their warm hospitality really stood out and made the stay even more enjoyable. In terms of value for money, it’s outstanding. The experience was honestly better than many of the top rated hotels in town, both in comfort and service. Would definitely recommend and return!

A slightly different experience to rest of the island but a positive one. However it was more dirty than other large towns and cities, rubbish is everywhere! The Dutch fort is the best experience, a place worth visiting. Driving down to the islands is a nice experience and much calmer atmosphere from main Jaffna city. The views of the ocean is great but the coastline is filled with plastic bottles, general refuse and redundant fishing gear. I would not want to wonder around barefoot but this applies to most of the srilankan cost line that I have visited... sadly..

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.

"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."

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 struggling to recover from the Civil war, the economic crisis and Covid, The hotel is trying to catch up, but it is struggling. I would recommend staying here, but do not expect an updated hotel. The staff were kind and helpful. We were happy we travelled to Jaffna, and we hope tourism increases to help support the economy..

I have stayed in many hotels in most countries, and I would say this is one of the best. The rooms have high ceilings, kitchen areas, and a living room. Very comfortable room. Authentic Jaffna food. What else can I say? Wow, wow, wow...

Staff are friendly and always trying hard to make sure we have good stay. Atmosphere is nice with only 4 rooms in the whole hotel. Room AC is strong and nice, which is quite important in Jaffna.
