    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. 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 a hot place and therefore the transport facilities should facilitate the climate. Jaffna is also not clean as compared to the other places in Sri Lanka. Need a concerted public awareness campaign to all residents of Jaffna. People's attitude should change !!!

    Clean & spacious rooms equipped with AC and Fans for a comfortable stay. The staff is very friendly, the breakfast exquisite. Always a mixture of Dal, chicken curry, eggs as well as bread & jam. The hotel is located very close to jaffna market and the main sites like Jaffna Fort, clock tower, public library etc. Are within walking distance. ~7min on foot is a big supermarket called Keells.

    Exceptional customer service! They provide excellent information on the best places to visit in Jaffna and also motorbike rental services are available at affordable prices. The hotel is located in a very strategic location about 3km to Jaffna town. There are excellent transport services available to take you to different areas within Jaffna and also the other parts of Sri Lanka.

    Nice and comfortable room. Convenient location due to proximity to the railway station and bus stop and closer to other local amenities. Staff is professional and friendly. I had breakfast from the hotel restaurant which was very tasty and Jaffna traditional food options were available and enjoyed a lot.
