The Thinnai - All-Suites Boutique Hotel

Our family reunion at The Thinnai was absolutely fantastic! With 27 family members coming from Canada, the US, Australia, Singapore, and Japan, we rented six rooms for one week. We wanted to experience where our parents grew up and explore ancestral lands. We had an unforgettable experience. The staff were friendly and accommodating of our allergy and dietary requests, and Chef Krishan and team’s delicious food was a highlight every day. We chose the breakfast included package, and the spacious and clean dining area was a great place to start our mornings. The pool provided a perfect spot for cooling and relaxing after a day exploring the town and sites. The rooms were clean and regularly maintained. The suites were incredibly air-conditioned, spacious, comfortably housing 5-7 people. Some of the suites equipped with a stovetop and microwave, offering guests flexibility in choosing their amenities during their stay. Prices were reasonable, making our stay good value for money. Our final meal in the banquet hall was truly special, with audiovisual facilities that made it possible to connect our phones and laptops to share pictures, music, and speeches. This added a personal touch to our reunion and created lasting memories. A couple of tips for future guests: - Use the doorknob sign if you want your room cleaned to be clear. - Plan for room service and maintenance to take about 30-45 minutes. Suggestion for the hotel: adding a clothes drying rack would be useful. Overall, our stay at The Thinnai was comfortable, enjoyable, and full of wonderful memories. Thank you to the hotel manager Roshanth and team who helped to create this memorable experience. We can't wait to return for our next visit!

Spacious rooms in a central location. Good food Great staff. Thanks to Dasina & Saranya for making our breakfasts memorable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stayed for 2 nights... buffets were great especially their Sri Lanka options. Spacious rooms, comfortable and quiet. Pool was a bit warm but a nice area to sit. Water was replenished reguarily - large fridge kept it cold. Great stay overall.

Located near city centre but close to nothing. Nearby lake needs a major clean out before using it as an attraction. The rooms were very large , wi-fi was good. The bathroom is large but shower is positioned to facilitate room fooding. The bed was firm but not very wide. Dinner and Breakfast just OK

A very warm welcome here with Tamarind juice and cooling towels. Huge tasteful rooms with living room and kitchen. (Could work well for a family). Clean and very comfortable with A/C and ceiling fans. Befs are big and comfortable with good quality linen. Great shower and clean, modern spacious bathrooms. A huge Jackfruit tree at the entrance and lots of interesting birdsong to be heard by the pleasant pool. The staff are very friendly, respectful and helpful. As you approach the pool, you are handed a clean towel. You feel well looked after and it seems like nothing is too much trouble. A very good and reasonable laundry service. The food here is the best I’ve had on our trip so far. The Sri Lankan food options are particularly good. The absolute highlight of our stay was the Crab Curry cookery lesson with Gideon and his assistant. Gideon is a great chef and a fantastic and enthusiastic teacher. I really recommend this hotel if you want to visit Jaffna.

had a very disappointing experience at Thinnai (Amudham )Restaurant . Service was slow and unprofessional. We ordered beer but were not given glasses, When we asked for one, the server was unsure which type of glass to bring." Food arrived late, and they brought the wrong dish. Instead of fixing the mistake, the staff argued with us. Needs improvement!"
