Outstanding Experience – Highly Recommended From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed with a friendly smile and a complimentary drink. The hospitality was exceptional – the staff were incredibly helpful, attentive, and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. The entire stay was smooth, comfortable, and truly exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere was relaxed yet professional, and every detail was taken care of with care and precision. We left with only positive memories and would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone looking for a high-quality experience. Kind regards from Switzerland.

Great service, friendly staff.

The room was good but the attention and care from the staff made it an excellent stay. Great location: able to walk into town easily. The on site bar was very nice with a good range of snacks and the local breakfast was just right.

Surrounding was dirty, lot of mosquitoes,asked the front desk to spray our room which they did. The front desk spoke a little English. It’s very difficult to communicate with them . Be prepared to bring your own toiletries. I won’t be back . All pictures shown in the Expedia were deceiving. What you see in the pictures were wrong.

Since the end of the civil war in 2009, many new hotels have emerged in Jaffna, providing more accommodation options for visitors. I chose to stay at Subhas Hotel to relive some nostalgic memories, and while my experience was a unique one, I thought it worth sharing for those considering a visit. For travelers from outside the northern region of Sri Lanka, it’s essential to manage expectations. The “deluxe room” provided me with air conditioning and a clean bed, which was a welcome relief. However, the amenities had their quirks—the shower in the washroom was not functional, requiring me to use a bucket and bowl for bathing. Additionally, while there was a toilet roll in the room, the lack of modern conveniences like toilet paper was notable. Breakfast was complimentary and adequate, though the room's windows lacked proper blackout curtains, allowing bright light to filter in during the early morning hours. On a positive note, the staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating, attending to all of my requests with warmth and efficiency. I do not intend to deliver a negative review; rather, I aim to provide an honest depiction of the accommodations for those unfamiliar with the region. If you’re looking to connect with Jaffna’s history and culture, Subhas Hotel is worth considering. However, if you are accustomed to contemporary hotel standards, you may want to explore other options in the area. Enjoy your stay in Jaffna!

Subhas hotel is a great place to stay in Jaffna. It is located in the heart of the town and well-connected to other parts of the Peninsula and to the South by train and bus. The owners and staff were very friendly and always there to help us out. We definitely recommend Subhas hotel and look forward to return in the future! Thanks for a nice stay!

Fantastisk service. Chefen gör ett otroligt bra jobb. Tacksam för alla tips om Jaffna. Läget är helt perfekt! 5 min från tåg och busstation. Marknden 5 mkn bort. Standarden är inte mer eller mindre av vad en kan begära för priset. Prisvärt helt enkelt.

The rates are by far some of the cheapest in Jaffna. The breakfast food was good, but no meat. If you come later than 8h30, youll get the scraps. The rooms smell like mothballs, which is not bothering me per say, but still not the best smell in the world. There are PizzaHut and Dominoes nearby.
