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!

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.

My room was fine; everything clean; everything worked properly, including the air con. Friendly, helpful staff - from the manager (owner?) and his wife, to the reception staff and the restaurant/bar staff. Breakfast is Sri Lankan style, bit I'm sure of you ask they would happily prepare a more western breakfast (I like the local food, so I didn't ask)

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.

We enjoyed our stay in this place.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. As soon as we arrived, they greeted us with a free drink and took all our luggage (eight in total) to our room. Very reasonable size room with all the facilities, including bottled drinking water. Air-conditioned room with a ceiling fan too. Food in their restaurant was very good. They went out of their way to make some extra food, we requested. The prices were reasonable. We will definitely go back again.

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!

Stayed one night. I already paid before I arrived there. They struggled to find my reservation from their records. This happens sometimes. We can understand. However their attempt to find a solution is unsatisfactory. They kept us waiting and served the other customers arrived instead of solving our problem. Safety of our belongings: Unsafe to keep our stuff in the room. The reason is, they asked us to leave the in the front desk when we left. When we came back they could not find the key. They searched everywhere. Finally they found the key in our room door. This is ridiculous. Breakfast: Before booking I looked at the pictures of the food in their menu. Then I realized they are just pictures. There is no variety of food. I regret for making this reservation.

Hotel Staff Who Care
As an American tourist, I decided to visit Jaffna and do some sightseeing there. Hence, I booked a room at Subhas Hotel for 2 nights. The bed was extremely comfortable. The hotel food was local Jaffna Sri Lankan food and very reasonable in price while also being very delicious. The hotel staff were also very courteous. In terms of convenience for exploration of the city by walking, I also found the hotel to be reasonable close to the main Jaffna city area while also managing to be in a hidden quiet area. For example, it was quite manageable to walk to Jaffna Fort. On the first night, it began to rain while I was at the Rio ice cream place which was around a 25 minute walk away from the hotel. I tried to get a tuktuk or even an Uber back to the hotel, but due to high demand from the rain, it was impossible. So, finally, around 10:30 PM, I sent a message to the hotel asking if they could send transportation to pick me up. I was not sure if the hotel had gotten the message, and I started walking back on the side of the road in the rain using the Google maps while a dog was following me from a distance. Most fortunately, out of the blue, one of the hotel staff suddenly found me, and we then quickly got back to the hotel on his motorcycle. Later, the hotel also helped me book my night bus ticket to Negombo, and complimentary motorcycle transport (with a helmet for me) was provided for both picking up the bus ticket and later at night to the bus pick up point.
