My stay at Fox Jaffna was excellent. The staff were excellent and extremely accomodating. The highlight for me was the incredible food from the restaurant. This is the only place worth staying at in Jaffna if you would like a real local relaxing experience. Thank you to all the team at Jaffna and hope to see you all again in the future.

Fantastic staff, beautiful environment and great food! Wonderful colonial building in suburb of Jaffna that has been lovingly restored. About ten minutes tuk tuk ride to centre of town…get the lobby to order and it should be no more than 500 rupees

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property is very nicely maintained. Pool is small but clean. I stayed at the Classic room which was in the original house. Room was big but unfortunately very dark. Windows don't open. Otherwise, the room has everything. Good tea bags. The food at the hotel was good but they charge a lot of money for tax and service fee. That could be avoided. Food was tasty. Breakfast was simple but same thing every day. I recommend a variety and more Sri Lankan choices since this is a heritage hotel. The hotel is a little too pricey for Jaffna standards since it is of 3 star quality. It is also a little too far from town and train station. Otherwise, it is very comfortable and safe for ladies traveling alone.

Good place to stay

The breakfast buffet wasn't good at all, very limited options and nothing really to look forward to. But the staff, the hotel was fabulous! - special kudos to Scotty who went above and beyond to organise some food for us...

We visited after 40 years to Srilanka. We are glad that we stayed at fox resort Jaffna. Beautiful property in Jaffna. We truly appreciate all the staff. Well maintained property with clean pool. Food was delicious, Amit kumar, Scootie and sugith was very helpful. We felt like we were at our own house in Jaffna. Thank you to all of you.
