    perfectly fine…
    4 out of 5
    The building here is a bit old, and you can see the wear and tear in the space, but that just makes it interesting. This is a great, central, inexpensive space to stay when you see Jaffna. There's a restaurant below- a big cafeteria style front and a slightly hidden secret courtyard in back which is a beautiful place to spend an evening. I would spring for a room with AC, though, if you're new to SL. I was shocked at how much hotter Jaffna is than the rest of the country. The staff are lovely and sweet! Really friendly customer service.…

    A real gem- highly recommended place to stay!…
    5 out of 5
    When we arrived at this beautiful guest house, Ravi (our host) was not expecting us! He had not received confirmation of our visit via hotels.com. Unfortunately, we were beginning to see enough from our experience with hotels.com to realise we will not be using it in the future. Regardless to say, like the true professional he is, he told us to relax in the lounge while our room was quickly prepared. Luckily, he was able to still get us our room as it was not a busy time. Ravi was truly a gem. He was very accommodating, professional and we had some great conversation with him. Accommodation for our driver along with breakfast was also provided free by him which was amazing. The room we stayed in was wonderful. Clean, great AC, organised and had everything to meet our needs. The bathroom was separate to our room but it was actually a very nice bathroom and there was a door that blocked off our bathroom door and room door from the rest of the guesthouse (so that we had privacy). The breakfast in the morning was also great. It was a traditional Sri Lankan breakfast and was delicious. We enjoyed our stay overall and feel that Ravi is the real cherry on the cake for this property. We were so happy staying here and will definitely be coming back here when we visit Jaffna in the future.…

    The hotel was a little oasis of peace and quiet and the staff were so friendly and helpful, in particular the manager Rajan. The vegetarian Sri Lankan food served in the restaurant was delicious. The pool was a perfect way to cool off. We spent 4 days there and would have happily spent longer.…
