The team and North Gate Jaffna were accommodating and very helpful. We enjoyed our stay due to their customer service above all. The actual property is clean and well situated however, it is starting to show its age, so keep this in mind if/when booking. For example, the fan/AC is temperamental (it either doesn't work, or it is set to turbo speed- no in between). There were some issues with power outages on the second day of our stay, however, this was not an ongoing issue. Would we stay here again? Very much so. The problems do not outweigh the excellent client experience that North Gate seeks to offer its clientele.

All of the staff were amazing, at breakfast they somehow sensed when I wanted some more tea! The food was really delicious, a great selection of curries (as well as western foods - although I stuck with the local fare). The hotel location was very central and made it easy to see some of the sites in the city centre (market, fort, old kachcheri etc.). If I was planning a trip to Jaffna in the future, I would definitely stay here again.

Good hotel. Not very crowded when we were there. Bottled water provided daily, but would prefer plastic bottles instead of glass. Breakfast was great. Walkable, This was a family visit trip so mostly stayed in the hotel.

Stayed Dec 2023. Family of 4. Rooms: clean, adequate space for 2 ppl in each room. Bed is hard for our liking though. Washroom: clean, enough hot water. Shower head was not fully functional but still enough to take a decent shower. Food: 5/5 no complaints. Staff: 5/5. Fitness area: small limited space. Pool: 5/5. Notes: I would request extra towel to put on washroom floor so its not too wet. Went during Christmas and didn't need to make any food reservations. Would request for level 4 or above room to get decent view of the skyline.

Overall this is a good hotel located closer to the Jaffna town and by the Jaffna railyway station. I took a small group with me this time for 3 nights and this was my second time this year. Hotel needs to improve maintance big time. I could not lock the balcony door due to the latch that was missing and the room was on the second floor so anyone could have easily got into the room by the tree branch which was touching the balcony. It was fixed on the same day but I was even wondering how the latch was missing in the first place and no one noticed. Also the service system which I can use to indicate 'do not disturb' wasnt working but maintanace did not fix it, due to that housekeeping cleaned my room daily even though I verbally instructed them not to. A few of my friends in my group exprienced the same. Beside these annoyances, the hotel has friendly staff. The chef made delicious breakfast every morning. I will definitly visit again.
