    authentic jaffna dishes
    language barriers

    The food was a highlight of our stay, particularly the

    Authentic Jaffna dishes that were flavorful and well-prepared. The staff provided friendly service, though some had language barriers. the room was clean and spacious, making it a pleasant experience for our family of five.

    friendly staff
    noisy environment

    Braw spot right next to the train station, ideal for my family. The local breakfast was a real highlight—tasty Jaffna curry to start the day! Just a wee bit noisy during the day from furniture dragging about, but overall, a cracking stay. Will definitely be back!

    Breakfast Beyond Expectations

    During my stay, I was delighted by the traditionally Sri Lankan breakfast that truly set the tone for my day. The pool was clean and warm, perfect for unwinding after exploring.

    location convenience
    worn furniture
    stained bedding

    convenient location near railway station, access to city center, shared pool amenities

    Room cleanliness certainly could use improvement!!! Worn furniture, stained bedding, and questionable bathroom upkeep really left a poor impression despite the hotel’s potential!!!

    delicious food
    clean room
    convenient location

    Had a great time with friends! The food was delicious, especially the local options, and our room was clean. We explored the nearby beach and visited the market, both short rides from the hotel. the location is super convenient. Just a heads up—requesting a pool towel can take some time, so plan ahead! Definitely recommend this place for a fun getaway.

    relaxation lounge
    outdoor swimming
    power cuts

    I loved the Jaffna-style breakfast they had—so many delicious options that really kick-started my day. The outdoor swimming and relaxation lounge were great spots to chill out after a day of exploring. Just be mindful of the occasional power cuts. they didn’t bother me too much though! 😊

    unclean room
    poor maintenance

    The room was a mess, honestly. I booked a standard double room but got a staff's room that wasn’t even cleaned. There were blood stains on the pillowcases, which is just disgusting. The hallway and lounge were cluttered with rubbish, and no one at the front desk seemed to care when I pointed it out. Plus, there’s no lift, so you’re stuck with the stairs. It really ruined my stay.
