Breakfast was really inconsistent. Day 1 was decent and day 2 was abysmal.
Old, dingy, badly maintained rooms. Teensy tiny unabsorbent towels provided. Sheets were dirty so we changed them ourselves.

Location is perfect. Breakfast is cheap and the best in town. Staff good. Neat.
Wifi worked part time. Engineers knew the problem but didn't have the management's backup to solve the problem. They pretented that they were trying to solve but never came out with any. It worked total of 12 hours during my 6 days stay. Getting things done by the reception is so unprofessional. Needs more training.

The restaurant was nice and the food was very tasty. And the staff were kind and friendly. This was pretty much the only positive about my stay at the Valampuri.
My stay here wasn't very nice at all. We booked a standard room. The standard room wasn't even in the same building as the main hotel. This building was still under construction. The rooms were dirty and had a certain smell. The rooms also had bugs. The water didn't run properly, and the sheets were stained. After complaining, they upgraded us to a "deluxe" room. This room was just below the standard you would find at a premier inn or holiday inn. The sheets were still stained, but the cleanliness of the room was improved.
Valampuri is a hotel I would never go back to again. Unless you don't mind sharing your room with creepy crawlys, I would avoid staying here.

Everything good, friendly staff and rooms are very clean too.
Location is very good and next to railway station.
Parking available too.
Other than breakfast rest of the meals not that great or tasty, this is something they should improve and bring back buffet too.
8.0
Excellent in providing service, quality and presentation. Staff are very friendly, happy to take ownership, willing to help and listen to the concerns and act accordingly and promptly. Food varieties are very much representing the authentic local culture and taste.
Room towels are very clean, however may be because of the saltwater, the colour looks tired and stained. The appearance of room, particularly the towels should look neat and bright for the travellers. The senior management need to take a strategic decision on how often they need to replace the towels with new ones to achieve higher satisfaction grading from the local and global customers.

we were booked into two very substandard rooms outside main hotel although we had booked two standard rooms as advertised on hotel webpage. When decided to leave we were given the rooms we paid for. very unpleasant experience.
Don’t give due respect to the guest and booking in to substandard rooms and giving unprofessional excuses.

Good service, friendly staff and good facilities. Recommended to any one traveling to Jaffna. Near to railway and other transportation requirements too. You can pay at the property on decent FX rate on LKR or can even do a bank transfer. no need to hold a credit card all the time for payments.
Nothing to tell bad so far. only comment is for a local, better try to give a better rate.
