Great Place to go if you're in Jaffna. Very good location next to Nallur Temple, with shops and restaurants around. The house you stay at is big and beautiful. Haran, the host, makes you feel like you are at home. Haran and his team are very helpful, kind and open for conversations. Breakfast is very delicious and made from heart.

Great location for transportation, services and amenities. Still in a quiet neighborhood. Cleanest new building with a cool breeze from the trees around. More than enough personnel for security, maintenance etc. I rented a small single room, but there are bigger a/c rooms with plenty of common space to accommodate groups.

Had a great 3 day stay here, friendly and helpful staff, spotlessly clean and large room, great breakfast. They were so welcoming and helped arrange a tuktuk driver for 2 days sightseeing, and packed me a breakfast to go for my early bus. Definitely a great place to stay.

    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.

    Haran the host was the most helpful we have met. He arranged everything from tours, places to visit and where the best food places to eat. When asked about where to eat out on our final night, he decided to cook us a meal and it was delicious. Breakfasts were outstanding each morning with fresh fruit and home cooked Sri Lankan Jaffna tucker.
