Notes: I would request extra towel to put on washroom floor so its not too wet. Went during Christmas and didn't need to make any food reservations.

We enjoyed our stay due to their customer service above all. The actual property is clean and well situated however, it is starting to show its age, so keep this in mind if/when booking. For example, the fan/AC is temperamental (it either doesn't work, or it is set to turbo speed- no in between). There were some issues with power outages on the second day of our stay, however, this was not an ongoing issue. Would we stay here again? Very much so. The problems do not outweigh the excellent client experience that North Gate seeks to offer its clientele. ##### Jessica Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sri Jun 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities I stayed at the Northgate Hotel for two nights and was pleased with the overall experience. The hotel is decent and well-maintained, and the staff were excellent—friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout my stay. Upon check-in, the hotel staff recommended the restaurant located on the first floor. I tried the seafood kothu roti on May 19 and was genuinely impressed. Though the dish was dark in colour, it was packed with flavour and had a great mix of seafood—I could taste shrimp, cuttlefish, and fish. It was very well prepared. The dish was reasonably priced at 1700\. I also ordered a local arrack cocktail (arrack, passionfruit cordial, lime, etc.), which was refreshing and balanced. Priced at 770, it offered good value for both taste and presentation. Later that evening, I visited Machnag Bar, which is attached to the hotel. I had a 500ml Lion Beer (cost 635) and found the space comfortable and welcoming. The bar also serves food, though I had already eaten at the hotel restaurant. Breakfast was included with the room, and the buffet exceeded expectations. It featured a wide selection of traditional items such as puttu, string hoppers, fish kulambu, sambar, dhal, and various sambols. Fresh milk appam (hoppers) were available on order, and they were just as I remembered from childhood—fresh, soft, and full of flavour. Overall, I highly recommend the Northgate Hotel, its first-floor restaurant, and the Machnag Bar. The combination of good food, fair prices, and warm servi ##### Sri Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Yogalingam Sep 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Overall this is a good hotel located closer to the Jaffna town and by the Jaffna railyway station. I took a small group with me this time for 3 nights and this was my second time this year. Hotel needs to improve maintance big time. I could not lock the balcony door due to the latch that was missing and the room was on the second floor so anyone could have easily got into the room by the tree branch which was touching the balcony. It was fixed on the same day but I was even wondering how the latch was missing in the first place and no one noticed. Also the service system which I can use to indicate 'do not disturb' wasnt working but maintanace did not fix it, due to that housekeeping cleaned my room daily even though I verbally instructed them not to. A few of my friends in my group exprienced the same. Beside these annoyances, the hotel has friendly staff. The chef made delicious breakfast every morning. I will definitly visit again. ##### Yogalingam Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Chelvaratnam Sep 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Good food. ##### Chelvaratnam Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chuthagaran Oct 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Satisfied ##### Chuthagaran Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### DHARANI Jul 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The rooms were very clean and the food was awesome. ##### DHARANI Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mathumitha Feb 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our experience was so warm and welcoming. ##### Mathumitha ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mohanasundaram Jun 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good ##### Mohanasundaram Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Subhodini Oct 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Easy to locate being one of the few taller buildings. ##### Subhodini Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jeff Apr 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place with very friendly staff! My wife and I stayed here in April of 2023 and really enjoyed it. The location is perfect for walking around Jaffna and they even have bicycles available for those who want to cycle. The breakfast and dinners were delicious. I would recommend staying here! ##### Jeff Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Joseph Mar 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities All of the staff were amazing, at breakfast they somehow sensed when I wanted some more tea! The food was really delicious, a great selection of curries (as well as western foods - although I stuck with the local fare). The hotel location was very central and made it easy to see some of the sites in the city centre (market, fort, old kachcheri etc.). If I was planning a trip to Jaffna in the future, I would definitely stay here again. ##### Joseph Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### pooranakumar May 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Customer service ##### pooranakumar Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### DENIS Feb 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely expérience First time in Jaffna, travelling with three working colleagues who were at their first experience in SriLanka.
