The food and service were absolutely amazing, and they even helped me get xeroxed copies for a work project!! I felt like I was coming home at the end of a long workday. They always had my "king cocoanut" juice waiting for me! Fabulous internet. Never a power outage like most places.

Excellent Hospitality!! Iresha & Dishtha made our stay more lovable… kudos to whole team for maintaining the property to its best!!! We had a wonderful experience at The Thinnai Hotel.

Very friendly staff. It's actually a home stay. I think the owner's family lives on the ground floor. But rooms are up to standards. Good A/c. The toilet is alright. But i had a issue with water stream.

It is a nice and quiet modern hotel with good facilities. The room was clean and tidy, with a comfortable bed and pillows. There is a fridge in the room and and tea making facilities in the lounge area outside the room. We were given two small bottles of water on arrival. The shower works well with good hot water, once you get it adjusted properly. There is a shower screen too, but like all bathrooms in Sri Lanka the bathroom floor still gets wet. The air conditioner works well and the room also has a large ceiling fan. The hotel is well located just 1.6 kilometers from Jaffna Fort and about a kilometre from the rooftop bar at the Jaffna Jetwing Hotel. Breakfast was not included but is available, we did not have breakfast at the hotel. All in all a good place to stay.

    Jaffna is still an unspoiled and hidden gem of a city.

    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 !!!

    Jaffna is a beautiful place to visit.

    Jaffna is a beautiful place to visit. Places and temples are beautifully crafted with ancestral works. People we met were friendly and courteous. Places like Nallur Kandaswamy Temple, Nagadeepa Vihara and Nagapooshani Amman Temple in an island, and few other places, it’s beyond words. Need to feel the atmosphere personally to have the divine presence and connection within one’s self. Best food eatery place for us is Jaffna Authentic Cuisine. Getting around places is convenient with auto and grab cabs too.

    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.

    Excellent customer service, great value for money, and totally exceeded my expectations. Our stay was great and it felt very luxurious. This is probably the best hotel to stay in the Jaffna area. The prices are higher than the other hotels in the area, but the service and accomodation makes it great value for money.
