Brilliant, helpful staff and mgmt. Good tips on temples, transport, cinema, etc. Super clean - best housekeeping in SL! Leafy green courtyard and garden. 15 min walk to train station, 30 mins walk to Malayan Cafe. One of the pricier places I stayed in SL, but 100% good value.

Perfect location just a few minutes from Jaffna town. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and air-conditioned. The staff were very welcoming and made my stay pleasant. They also served a delicious Jaffna-style breakfast. The manager personally picked me up from the railway station early in the morning and arranged an early check-in, which I really appreciated. I would definitely return and highly recommend this place!

Great location, just off the road making it very peaceful at night. Good air con and fan. Great size room with balcony overlooking the garden and plantation. Good host and Sri Lankan breakfast. They also do laundry, which was a god sent in a city with no laundrettes.

Very decent hotel, clean and tidy. Clean and fragrant towels and bedding. Shared bathroom and toilet also clean. Lots of common space that you can use - on the ground floor, on the first floor and on the terrace. There is also a fridge and kitchenette (stove, sink, some dishes and cutlery). But the most charming thing about our stay in this hotel was the staff - friendly but not intrusive. Wonderful, warm, communicative and helpful girls (best regards!). 💚 I recommend this place with pleasure.

Tony is a great host! He was very helpful, friendly and nice to chat with. He arranged for me a tour of Jaffna peninsula and helped with other travel arrangements. In the guest house there are whiteboards with lots of useful info for travellers such as train and bus schedules. Breakfast (a la carte) had a lot of options to choose from. Overall basic guest house but with great vibe and services.

this delightful homestay/ guesthouse is a short walk from the bus stop (outside the bakery in Dambulla) and only 10m back from the road, but completely secluded and quiet in a beautiful garden. The family are wonderful, speak excellent English and grandma cooked me a wonderful Sri Lanka curry for dinner. Breakfast was good as well and I was greeted on arrival with good coffee and homemade cake! They even gave me a lift to the Caves in the morning for free. A real gem, I cannot recommend enough.
