Some accommodation includes a balcony with sea views, a fully equipped kitchen and a private bathroom with walk-in shower. At the homestay, some units are fitted with a kettle and chocolates or cookies. Tommy is a great host and takes good care of everyone, gathering people around the fire, going to great sunset places (providing very typical bikes for guests 😂), or around delicious Sri Lankan meals cooked by his mother The rooms are confortable and nicely decorated, the place felt like home It was a very nice experience and we met amazing people there

Located within 1.3 km of Jaffna Railway Station and 2 km of Nallur Kandaswamy Temple in Jaffna, Tony's Garden House Back Packers inn offers accommodation with seating area and a kitchenette. Featuring a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with a children's playground. The guest house also provides free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. Amazing all around. Tony was very responsive before my arrival, super friendly, and has all the info. The house is in a great location, I had a room facing the street and it never bothered me (and I'm actually a light sleeper). The room was cozy and I enjoyed the balcony (especially the kettle lol). Highly recommend staying here and I will definitely visit Jaffna again and stay at Tony's!

This guest house offers free private parking and a 24-hour front desk. The guest house features family rooms. One of the cleanest and most comfortable places we stayed during our travels around Sri Lanka. The hosts were exceptionally friendly and polite, making us feel right at home. The room was spacious with comfortable bed. Sri Lankan breakfast was absolutely delicious. We also appreciated having access to the kitchen fridge and the reliable Wi-Fi. Jaffna turned out to be an unexpected highlight of our trip — such a hidden gem! Highly recommended!

Offering a garden and garden view, Malabar home stay is situated in Jaffna, 3.2 km from Nallur Kandaswamy Temple and 3.5 km from Jaffna Railway Station. There is a private entrance at the homestay for the convenience of those who stay. Free private parking is available and the homestay also features bike hire for guests who want to explore the surrounding area. The hosts are incredibly kind. Adi let me store my bags at the homestay after I checked out, and even to take a shower when I came back to pick them up, which was lovely and meant that I could enjoy water activities such as the Keerimalai bath and the beach. Definitely get the breakfast (you can add it on once you're there). It's delicious and excellent value. The property is cute, with a pond built into the front walk (with fish you can look at 😍), an interior courtyard, and my room had an attached outdoor bathroom (with a roof and walls) that let in light while giving privacy, so I felt like I was in a private garden for my shower.
