Lovely boutique hotel in a central Jaffna location. We were the only guests staying at the time so had the whole property to ourselves, and the staff went out of their way to make us comfortable. Breakfast and dinner were delicious and the pool was great.

Harran and his team were very excellent and efficient. They are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast had plenty of choices. Authentic Sri Lankan /Western Breakfast with exotic fruits/juice. They also provide good lunch /dinner at reasonable cost, if you would to have home cooked meal. It is located in very convenient place opposite to the famous Nallur temple. It was fascinating hearing the history of the residence.. Very much enjoyed the stay. We are coming here since 2017 as feel like home to home. We will come back again. Thanks Haran for your hospitality

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

The house is very clean and equipped with all necessary appliances. The rooms are large and there's plenty of space with 2 queen beds each. The bathrooms were again clean and the water pressure was good. The housekeeper was so nice and welcoming. He helped us with all our requests and questions. The location was ideal as well since it was only 5 mins away from Jaffna town by vehicle and there's plenty of good restaurants nearby.
