Everything! Breakfast was delicious, room had great size, no hot shower in some rooms but in shared showers yes, so not a problem at all. Tony and his brother are amazing, and Tony gave many advices and suggestions about Jaffna. Staying again there when I visit the city again!

Everything about Gatetrees was great, especially Karna, the manager. I learned many things from our conversations, and enjoyed watching Karna perform the rituals for the first day of Pongal. The rice dish he cooked was very tasty. Karna organized a tuk tuk tour of Jaffna peninsula for me with Sinthu. Sinthu showed me many interesting sights. He also told me about Tamil history and current Jaffna customs. I recommend Gatetrees to anyone.

This hotel provided exactly the serene escape we were looking for. The clean and spacious room gave us plenty of space to relax, and the minimalist design really helped us clear our minds. We also loved the natural sounds of birds in the morning—it added to the peaceful vibe. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We'll definitely be back!

It has a mix of AC and non AC rooms and is in a quiet location next to a park. You have access to a kitchen and a terrace to sit in the evenings. A really mellow friendly golden retriever pup lives here too. You can have breakfast every morning, you just need to eat Tony know the previous evening making it very convenient. I also really liked the information wall allowing me to plan my trip in the north smoothly as some information is hard to find online or locally as language can be a barrier.

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.

Our stay at Allens home stay was very unique! Allen knows everything about Jaffna and its surroundings and will help you in any way to make your trip up north a special one. His garden is beautiful and quiet. The guesthouse is a 20 minute walk from the buisy city centre. We felt completely at home during our stay. Allen is a very warm and welcoming person. Breakfast was fantastic, Allen even made a food package when we had to catch an early train.

Appointed in a quiet lane off the main Kandy road,the only thing that you are likely to hear is the occasional train and the gaggle of geese that live next door.Its near Old Park where you can easily get a bus into town for 40 rupees It's a very welcoming place and it's host Dilan is a smashing bloke who is a mine of information and he is also very sociable.I ended up staying double the time that I had booked
