    It was a wonderful opportunity to join with your team to conduct our workshop in your hotel. Your staff helped us a lot by considering our matters and as an organization, we can properly manage our workshop with the help of your staff and team. The food and rooms were also great and we all were very much satisfied with your hotel and staff as well. Thank you for keeping our trust and will visit you again with our next workshop in Jaffna as soon as possible. Nelum Sathsarani Assistant Program Officer Junior International Youth Alliance for Peace

    Review of only about food. Egg putu kothu and egg rotti kothu were exceptional. ******************************************** Butter naan was exceptionally bad. Tried several days same experience with butter naan ****************************************** My friends weren't satisfied with the quality of Hot butter cuttlefish and i wasn't impressed with their Panner butter masala too. Internal restaurant although look fantastic with wood it has a smell so i recommend sitting outside I would have given lower rating but giving three star for exceptionally courteous waiters and pleasant outdoor seating and less crowd ambient.

    I've stayed over a month at J HOTELS this summer. Loved the hospitality and politeness of the staff from the front desk to the bell boys, the service was impeccable. I do appreciate the impenetrable security there. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, calm, clean, and airy, especially the super luxury rooms. There's is a very beautiful garden as well. The food was amazing , I'd recommend the best kothu rotti" in town, which is usually a large portion, enough for 2 people. Kudos to the owner for providing a perfect 'home' to stay, seen him there every day, making sure the establishment runs smoothly. My stay was nothing short of a spectacular experience. Big Thanks to everyone.

    One of the best restaurant in Jaffna peninsula. Very clean, Very friendly staffs. Top notch service. The mutton briyani was beyond delicious. The portion of the briyani also okey. Prawn fried rice another yummy dish. Price wise reasonable. No need to worry about parking. They have a lot of parking space. And its secured well. If you wanna have delicious meal in peaceful place I can recommend this place without any hesitation. Cheers folks.

    They have a wide range of food items. Food items are commonly good in taste. Kottu and biriyani are great in taste most of the times. Sometimes they fail to maintain the standard of their quality food. Better if they could maintain it in each and every portion of the dishes.

    Superb place for a safe stay in Jaffna. Their rooms and food are fully worth the price you pay and they provide drivers accomodation free of charge. They have a wide range of food that you can choose from. The staff is friendly and the service is good.

    I only tried briyani,kothu,prawn nasi and fried rice. All of them are very tasty except prawn nasi..its very bad. There is only sause in that . Natural peaceful location & restaurant setup is best..but there is one man served us..he served well however not sufficient servers when we're there..so fix that issue..other wise it's an awesome experience.

    Perfect location with beautiful views and well built and maintained facility. Went here for the restaurant and the food was delicious. However we found the service to be a bit slow although it wasn't busy. Would highly recommend and come back and hope they improve on the service.

    One of the best places in Jaffna to have nice meal. We came to have dinner food were very good and service is excellent. Specially Radhan who was our server for the night made sure all requirements are met. Nothing troubles him. Portion size quite big and value for money is certainly met. Lovely ambiance and comfortable seating arrangements. Must visit place if you are in Jaffna.

    One of my all time favourite hotels in Jaffna. The rooms were pretty clean although we did have one ant incident, even then we told the staff and they took care of it for us. The food at the restaurant was top class and the location is amazing with it being a nice place to reach all areas of Jaffna. Would definitely recommend to others.

  • 5/5 Mathurahan S. 1 year ago on Google
    Rating 5* given here based on various facts.. First one is compared to the money we spend.. You can get a good triple A/C room for just 6000 per night.. Room is clean.. could have been more spacious... Bathroom also good. Their restaurant is one of the finest in Jaffna currently.. Their use of spices, flavor and quality of food are mind blowing.. Full Fish fry Tin fish fry Chicken fry Mutton curry are their best dishes.. Many other options we didn't explore.. Much affordable and cost effective as well.. You can enjoy open space dining here too. They offer party spaces good for small parties and get together...

    The all food we ordered was good.. we tried fried mutton noodles, fried seafood noodles and chicken briyani. Also we ordered fruit salad and watermelon juice as appetizers. The one and only minus is fruit salad because of old..not fresh one. Other than that all foods were delicious. Restaurant is well decorated with the timber interior 👌🏻 and great atmosphere also. It’s located near by A9 road ,jaffna. Great parking availability 👍 recommended. 👌🏻👌🏻✌️✌️✌️😍 we really enjoyed the food and it was made in a special way.

    Nice place to experience a dinner with friends or family. Little costly spot. But, ultimate environment to do photo shoot. Surrounded by beautiful grassland with nature beauty. Most foods are 1000+. Parking is available. Best restaurant with ordinary budget in A9.

    We came to this hotel to attend a Glocal Fair 2023 in Jaffna. This hotel is located in a really beautiful environment which is more than expected. There is a friendly quality service. The rooms are also at a satisfactory level. Really good place to recommend. As a government Institute, we are happy with the services of this hotel. We wish for further development.

    I recently dined at J Guest Jaffna and I was blown away by the quality of the food and the level of service provided by the staff. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly and made to feel at home. The menu at J Guest Jaffna is diverse and includes a range of dishes to suit all tastes. I opted for the seafood platter, which was absolutely delicious. The seafood was fresh and cooked to perfection, and the accompanying sauces and sides were a perfect complement. The service at J Guest Jaffna was exceptional. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and went out of their way to ensure that my dining experience was top-notch. They provided helpful recommendations, checked in on me regularly, and were always available when I needed them. Another thing that impressed me about J Guest Jaffna was the ambiance. The restaurant has a cozy and inviting atmosphere, with warm lighting and comfortable seating. It's the perfect spot for a romantic dinner or a night out with friends. Overall, I would highly recommend J Guest Jaffna to anyone looking for a delicious and memorable dining experience. The quality of the food, the level of service, and the overall ambiance make it a truly exceptional restaurant. I can't wait to go back!

    I had the pleasure of staying at Jaffna JGuest this month for about eight nights. We were given an AC family room that comes with an attached washroom. There was a common living room that I used to hang out without friends and family visited us. We ordered morning tea, lunch and dinner several times and the quality of the meals and service were top notch. The care takers were very friendly and attentive. The owner Ahilan and the manager Prathab took care of everything from room reservation to checkout. I definitely recommend this place and visit again when I come to Jaffna next time. Thank you JGuest managers and staff. Happy holidays.

    I had a very good experience here. Staff was really friendly and helpful from the beginning (from the date of reservation). They made sure that all our requests are being fulfilled. Highly Recommend J Guest Jaffna to anyone who looks for a decent, affordable place to stay. Delicious food is an added advantage. Place is suitable if you are traveling with your toddlers also.

  • 5/5 Hiruni M. 1 year ago on Google
    Our expectations were met! - Rooms were typical guest house type but they were clean and had two beds in every room so enough space to sleep - the staff was very friendly, helpful and provided a great service - they have their own restaurant so whenever we are tired we dont have to worry about going anywhere else to find food. They have a decent restaurant menu and the food is amazing - The distance from Jaffna town and Jaffna railway station was like 10 mins so traveling was very convenient The location is nothing fancy but u get totally worth for the price u pay and our objective was to travel and just come back to the guest house for sleeping which worked perfectly for us. Special Mention to front office staff Pradeep and Tyson who helped us and also Rajendran who served us and there was a very sweet male staff who always gave us tea we couldnt ask his name but hes there in the back of our group pic 😊

    Top hygiene and super friendly service! But little bit unsatisfied with food. Food is not that much tasty... May be Nasigorang and Soups tastes good... High Price!!!

  • 1/5 naiduwa wadu a. 1 year ago on Google
    I spent almost 2 hours for my dinner last night. I couldn’t complete my meal due to too much spices on the curry. I have requested another portion with less spices and they couldn’t provide it in time. I waited enough time and decided to leave. Finally asked for the bill quickly, disappointingly they couldn’t provide the bill for more than 10 minutes. At last left the so called best reputated place with undone dinner.

    I always prefer J guest jaffna because they offer luxury rooms and service at a reasonable price. the dishes are again amazing with a reasonable price and a beautiful well maintained garden is there to relax. moreover, we can have a pleasant stay in Jaffna with J guest during our vacation.

  • 4/5 Nalin R. 1 year ago on Google
    This is the ideal place to stay at Jaffna which is very close to the the city.They have luxury rooms with reasonable price. The greenish garden is very attractive and you can arrange to get your food there. Jaffna style foods are really delicious. They are not allowed outsiders to drink liquor inside the hotel. Therefore I can recommend that this is really good to stay for families as well. Parking area also quite big. Most of their staff can only speak Tamil, but Mr. Pradeep helped us more in friendly manner. All of us really enjoyed and don't hesitate to book if you plan to visit Jaffna.

👍 I had the Chicken noddle and Beef noodle. Chicken one was better as the beef was quite fatty. Both dishes tasted good though. Service was fast, no waiting at all.
