Located within 1.3 km of Jaffna Railway Station and 2 km of Nallur Kandaswamy Temple in Jaffna, Tony's Garden House Back Packers inn offers accommodation with seating area and a kitchenette. Featuring a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with a children's playground. The guest house also provides free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. I loved it here! Really nice place, nice and clean rooms. Tony, the owner, really does anything to make people feel like they're at home. If you're in Jaffna this is the place to stay, near the center but in a quiet road, many restaurants and cafes nearby. I highly recommend this place!!!

Allens home stay, a property with a terrace, is set in Jaffna, 600 metres from Nallur Kandaswamy Temple, 1.5 km from Jaffna Railway Station, as well as 2.6 km from Jaffna Public Library. The property is around 3.1 km from Jaffna Fort, 14 km from Nilavarai Well and 20 km from Naguleswaram Temple. The guest house offers rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi.

At the guest house, the units include a private bathroom. Allen, as mentioned over and over in other reviews, is the best host EVER. This kind of people makes the difference when traveling like we do, where the main goal is to enjoy the culture and people, as much as the places we visit. Allen went way beyond expectations on helping us with whatever we may need (from train schedules, arranging a great driver for a day-long tour, giving us recommendations for local places, to taking his bike and buying us some cold beers after hours, or getting up to prepare us an unusually early morning breakfast to go, due to our very early schedule), overall making us feel like his true guests despite the commercial relationship. Well-travelled, Jaffna-native but with many years in Europe, Allen is the kind of person that you hope you have more time to get to know better, and that will remain as a highlight of any trip. The property is his own home, where you rent some rooms. It is a very quiet spot in a green and shady compound in a cul-de-sac, a great respite from some of the Jaffna frenzy. Located a quick 5-min. tuk-tuk ride from the train station, it is also near the main Hindu temple of the city, a couple of blocks away. The room we rented had its own exclusive bathroom, but crossing the living room. There was another room with a full private bathroom, not available at the time. The house has a quaint feeling, very cozy and clean. The AC in the room worked fine and it was very welcomed. Breakfast was great, abundant and tasty, prepared by Allen on the spot.

At the bed and breakfast, every unit comes with a desk. With a private bathroom equipped with a shower, units at the bed and breakfast also have free WiFi, while selected rooms will provide you with a terrace. At the bed and breakfast, the units are fitted with bed linen and towels. I booked this place for my parents and they loved their stay at Berty’s cottage. The owners handled everything easily and the meals were arranged well. They even arranged a tuk tuk for my parents for a reasonable price to go everywhere in Jaffna. My parents were more than satisfied.

Each unit features a fully equipped kitchen with kitchenware, a seating area, a flat-screen TV, a washing machine, and a private bathroom with shower and free toiletries. Each unit is fitted with a kettle, while certain rooms come with a balcony and others also boast garden views. At the bed and breakfast, every unit is equipped with bed linen and towels. We had such a wonderful stay at Nallarun illam! My husband, two children and I shared a family room, and we had ample space and ample air conditioning. The room is off of a shared kitchen/lounge space and a balcony, which was really nice for preparing snacks and relaxing. Everything was very clean and nicely situated. The biggest highlight of this place was our wonderful hosts. The host family could not have been more gracious. We happened to be in Jaffna for the new year, and they took us under their wing, sharing their traditions (including treats, dressing, a visit to the temple and fireworks at night). Their sweet kids played with our kids and, all in all, they made us feel completely at home in this beautiful city. We're very grateful for their generosity and hospitality and would absolutely recommend this place to everyone.
