Nallur Holidays Inn in Jaffna provides adults-only accommodation with an open-air bath and a shared lounge. This guest house features free private parking, a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, full-day security and luggage storage for guests. Very decent hotel, clean and tidy. Clean and fragrant towels and bedding. Shared bathroom and toilet also clean. Lots of common space that you can use - on the ground floor, on the first floor and on the terrace. There is also a fridge and kitchenette (stove, sink, some dishes and cutlery). But the most charming thing about our stay in this hotel was the staff - friendly but not intrusive. Wonderful, warm, communicative and helpful girls (best regards!). 💚 I recommend this place with pleasure.

Newly renovated. Yet very affordable, great value for money. Nice common area and terrace to chill out on and free coffee/tea. Location was great close to railway station and town, yet very peaceful surrounded by trees. Dilan was super friendly and kind. He helped me organise my travels and even let me use his bicycle for free. Thank you so much! Great place!
