Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel offers spacious rooms with beautiful views of the sea and the Fort, though they are pleasant without reaching a luxurious 4-star standard. The service is friendly overall, with some minor issues. The central location is convenient for exploring the area. The dining experience is satisfactory with delicious options available. The facilities are adequate for a comfortable stay.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The room with a sea view and balcony overlooking the park & Panai Lagoon was stunning, probably the best in the hotel. It would have been even better with a couple of chairs for extra comfort, though.
The hotel offers a unique experience with a rooftop bar on the 6th floor providing expansive views of Jaffna fort. The rooms are comfortable without being luxurious, offering a pleasant stay.
