North Gate is a modern hotel built close to Jaffna's railway station, within a five-minute walk of the platforms and just off Station Road in the middle of town. It was developed as North Gate by Jetwing; the building and layout are the same one Jetwing originally built out, positioning the hotel at the centre of Jaffna's old town rather than on the outskirts where several of the town's other newer hotels sit.
The hotel has 44 rooms, the majority standard Deluxe rooms alongside four Family rooms and four Suites, the suites fitted with private balconies that look out over the city. The mix of room types, including dedicated family rooms, makes it one of the more straightforwardly practical options in Jaffna town for groups travelling together rather than couples or solo business travellers alone.
On-site facilities include a swimming pool, a gym, and one of the larger conference rooms in the northern peninsula, which puts the hotel on the shortlist for business events and conferences held in Jaffna as much as for leisure stays. That conference capacity is a genuine point of difference in a town where large, purpose-built meeting space is still relatively limited.
The restaurant, Northern Station, takes its name and cue from the hotel's position by the railway line and serves food built around the peninsula's seafood alongside more general Sri Lankan dishes.
The hotel's location — a few minutes' walk from both the railway station and Jaffna Fort — makes it a convenient base for guests arriving by train or exploring the old town on foot, and sets it apart from the garden-set heritage properties further out on Jaffna's edges: this is a town-centre hotel first, with the fort, the market and the station all within easy reach of the front door.
