    I had a mind-blowing stay at this beautiful ancestral home turned boutique hotel! The tastefully furnished rooms were super comfortable and had all the amenities I needed. The staff, especially Mr. Sutha, were jaw-droppingly friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to make my stay unforgettable. The food was incredibly tasty and flavorsome, and the hotel's location near the city center and top sights made exploring a breeze. The outdoor swimming pool was a fantastic addition, and the free Wi-Fi and 24-hour reception were very convenient. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the city!

    I had a fantastic time at Thambu Illam in Jaffna. The hotel's design is a perfect blend of traditional and modern aesthetics. The spacious and clean room made for a comfortable stay. The staff, especially Sutha, provided exceptional service and went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. The hotel is conveniently located, yet peaceful, allowing for a relaxing experience. As a solo woman traveller, I felt safe and comfortable throughout my stay. If you're looking for a well-designed boutique hotel with attentive staff, this is the ideal place for you. I can't wait to stay here again next time I visit.

    Strongly recommend this hotel.

    We had the most incredible stay at this boutique hotel. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. They were extremely knowledgeable and helped us with everything from transportation to recommendations for local cuisine. The hotel itself is beautifully decorated, clean, and has great facilities including a refreshing pool. We also enjoyed their delicious breakfast. The location is perfect for exploring the city.

    Absolutely nothing.

    the interiors are colorful, providing a cheerful ambiance. the hotel's location is convenient, offering easy access to some local attractions. the clean pool is a plus point.

    Their food is not prepared in house, and the menu selection is somewhat limited. the hotel seems to lack a children's pool, making it difficult for families with children to enjoy the facilities.

    During our Christmas stay, we loved the traditional local breakfast served every morning, which gave us a taste of the local cuisine. The staff was very welcoming and accommodating, helping us with any requests we had. Additionally, the hotel's location was perfect for exploring the city's main attractions, such as the fort and the temple.

    The noise level was higher than expected, which made it challenging to get a good night's sleep. We also wished that there had been more on-site amenities, such as a children's pool. However, overall, we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the hotel's unique charm and helpful staff.
