Search Castles in Jaffna

I only stayed one day, but was a beautiful place I would come back with more family, and hire it privately

Thambu Illam is a peaceful sanctuary hidden away in Jaffna. With four lovely rooms in a gorgeous courtyard property, it’s a wonderful space to relax after a day’s exploring. The pool is lovely, the accommodation comfortable and the location perfect. But best of all is the service: Chandranathan and his team are truly fantastic - helpful, friendly and always on hand to make your stay as good as it can be. I would highly recommend Thambu Illam and hope to go back one day!

Fine guesthouse located between Jaffna old city and Keerimalai temple and sacred water pool. Nice and quiet location, excellent laundry service.

The hotel was a little oasis of peace and quiet and the staff were so friendly and helpful, in particular the manager Rajan. The vegetarian Sri Lankan food served in the restaurant was delicious. The pool was a perfect way to cool off. We spent 4 days there and would have happily spent longer.

We stayed here for 1 day, and enjoyed our stay very much. Michael in particular was super attentive to our needs and went above and beyond to cater for us. The food is also amazing and reasonably priced.

Very good. But the price was bit too much. Choice of breakfast also can improve. Staff are very nice.

We had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms comfortable, and the atmosphere felt welcoming from the moment we arrived. What stood out most was the staff—friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing and well-cared visit.

Staffs are very nice and friendly.I enjoyed the food. Access to town. Very nice location.

Excellent villa .kept clean by the excellent team of staffs. They treated us very well. If you need a jaffna breakfast just ask the villa manager. The jaffna breakfast was excellent. Best place to stay in jaffna. Nice to have a good manager . Well done team.

A few km outside Jaffna. Friendly informative owner who we had informative conversations. The hotel offered Sri Lankan menu - which we didn’t use as we were out and about in Jaffna. A variety of people staying at hotel , both srilankans and Europeans. Rooms were spacious . Bathroom could have been better maintained , we were happy overall. Would recommend if you are looking for a convenient interesting place to stay. Thank you for an enjoyable stay.

This was a great choice for a few days in Jaffna.
