Culinary Excellence

I had an excellent dining experience at Green Grass Hotel. The variety of dishes was impressive, especially the Jaffna style and Indian recipes. The rooftop restaurant offered a unique ambiance, making my meal even more enjoyable. I loved that I could choose between dining in different themed areas, such as under the mango tree or in the air-conditioned restaurant. This place truly enhanced my culinary adventure in Jaffna!

Comfort Despite Challenges

During my stay, I found the room features to be quite good. Although the bathroom cleanliness could improve, the room was adequately equipped and comfortable. After expressing my concerns, I was moved to a more spacious triple room that provided a better experience overall. Despite some issues, the room had a nice charm that made my stay nice.

Great for Group Events

I had the chance to attend a small gathering in one of the hotel’s meeting rooms, and I thought it was quite accommodating. The hall we used was spacious enough for our needs, although I would recommend checking on the AC beforehand. The overall arrangement worked well for our group dynamics, providing a good setting for discussions and presentations. It made for a productive environment.

The Green Grass hotel has a lot of potential, with a nice layout and good dining options, but it unfortunately falls short in terms of room quality and service. While the restaurant offers enjoyable food and a lovely atmosphere, the rooms were poorly maintained and the staff seemed inattentive at times. It could be a decent budget option if some upgrades were made.

The hotel is conveniently located next to the railway station, which is a big plus for travelers.

The Green Grass hotel has a lot of potential with a pleasant layout and decent food offerings. However, the rooms need serious attention, and service could be significantly improved. While its association with the Valampuri Hotel makes breakfast convenient, the overall condition of the rooms and value for money is lacking.

I had a fantastic culinary experience at this hotel, especially enjoying the Jaffna style crab curry, which was a long-time desire of mine. The restaurant is a highlight with its great food and friendly service. However, my overall experience was marred by my initial room's poor hygiene and maintenance, though the staff did eventually accommodate my request for a better room. The hotel is lively, making it a bit chaotic at times, especially if there are events like weddings.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is very convenient, being close to the railway station and town center, which makes getting around easy. Although the food was absolutely delicious and definitely a highlight of my stay, the rooms left much to be desired. They were poorly maintained and didn't offer much comfort. My overall experience was marred by issues with the room conditions and some questionable service regarding the billing.
