Amazing all around. Tony was very responsive before my arrival, super friendly, and has all the info. The house is in a great location, I had a room facing the street and it never bothered me (and I'm actually a light sleeper). The room was cozy and I enjoyed the balcony (especially the kettle lol). Highly recommend staying here and I will definitely visit Jaffna again and stay at Tony's!

Nallur Residence, Haran's family home is a great place to experience real life in Jaffna. The old, typical house is ideally located 100m from the temple and within walking distance of the city center, it's a great place to explore Jaffna, experience its culture, food and architecture. It's also a great place to meet other travelers or learn from Haran, the host. He is very welcoming, helpful and will go above and beyond to make sure you have a great stay and a great time in Jaffna. We where truly, happily surprised by the hospitality.

I had a wonderful experience staying here on a recent work trip. The location is incredibly convenient, just a 600-meter walk from the Jaffna railway station. What truly stood out was the exceptional hospitality. I had to travel at an inconvenient time, but the staff were extremely accommodating and graciously adjusted my check-in time. They were very friendly, and the entire place was neat and pleasant. I even received a delicious cup of tea, which was a lovely, welcoming touch. With several food shops also within walking distance, it has everything you need. I will definitely be staying here again for all my future work trips to Jaffna. Highly recommended!

This hotel provided exactly the serene escape we were looking for. The clean and spacious room gave us plenty of space to relax, and the minimalist design really helped us clear our minds. We also loved the natural sounds of birds in the morning—it added to the peaceful vibe. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We'll definitely be back!
