Fox Jaffna by Fox Resorts - Boutique Heritage Luxury

I absolutely loved the boutique hotel experience. After a warm welcome from the reception team, I was shown across the property and to my room. I enjoyed exploring the onsite gallery and museum/bunker. While the main property is over 100 years old, the accomodation is actually a set of new buildings which are fitted out to a very high standard. The room was spacious for a solo traveller or couple. The stairs to the upstairs villa may be a challenge for some - you could nominate a ground floor option. The bathroom was beautifully finished with the most modern tap ware and fresh new towels and amenities. The linen was high quality and I enjoyed two peaceful evenings. I loved both the breakfast and dinner menu, enjoying the traditional Sri Lankan breakfast options and the Jaffna crab curry for dinner. All of the team at Fox were obliging and helpful offering a superb service experience which I was very grateful for. Their advice about where to explore led to one of my most memorable experiences of late afternoon pooja at the Nellur Kovill.

Historical building that is a superb Hotel with rooms in the original house that was Headquarters for the Tamil Army during the war and newer apartment blocks. Everything is so clean and tidy , the grounds are magnificent and you can go into the underground bunker that has been turned into an Art Gallery. The staff can not do enough for you, especially the Restaurant Manager who was surprised we loved the Sri Lankan breakfasts so much and after discussions about an amazing fusion eggs Benedict we had had somewhere else got the chef to make hollandaise sauce especially so they could reproduce the dish for us. AMAZING!!!!

Nothing

Beautiful setup, emasculate garden, tasty food and very attentive staff.

Nothing

Breakfast was ok, nothing special compared to the rest of sri lankan hotels Good location, not too busy or loud and easy to get to in Jaffna Bed was comfortable Water bottle refills is a great addition

Staff at restaurant were varied, the managers and one of the staff were kind and friendly but we had one unpleasent staff member who made our dining experience very disappointing They have paid photoshoots in the grounds of this hotel, which they don't inform staying guests of. They start early in the morning and make noise and take up all the (minimal) space in the hotel and paths. It makes the hotel feel extremely busy and not at all "boutique". Room amenities including soap was not replaced when run out Check in was slow, not particularly friendly or warm and same at check out They have posters everywhere asking for reviews but don't seem to put in the work to make the reviews positive Definitely not a 4*, more like a solid 3* hotel
