The hotel was a comfortable stay, with spacious and clean rooms that had modern amenities and a great hot shower. I appreciated the friendly service, but the location was a bit noisy due to its proximity to the train station, although it did offer easy access to nearby attractions. Overall, it was a good value for money, but the dining options could have been improved.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the plus side, the location is fantastic, making it easy to explore Jaffna and the surroundings. The rooms are spacious and nice, but I was disappointed with the service and the dining options were a bit limited. So while it's a great spot, it could use improvements in a few areas.

The rooms were nice and spacious, although facing the train station wasn't ideal. The L-shaped balcony was a total waste since there was no outside seating or table provided.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, where the rooms were huge, clean, and modern. The staff provided brilliant service and made a real difference to my experience. However, the dining options could be improved as there were no standout specialties, and the location, although peaceful, had some noise from the street. Overall, it was great value for money, despite a few minor drawbacks.
