Delicious Authentic Cuisine

The food at Green Grass Hotel is simply excellent. They offer a variety of authentic Jaffna dishes at reasonable prices. I truly enjoyed the outdoor dining area; the relaxing atmosphere complemented the tasty meals perfectly. Their breakfast selection is especially appealing to vegetarians and vegans, and every dish I tried was absolutely good.

Refreshing Pool Experience

One of the highlights of my stay was the swimming pool. It’s a great spot to unwind after exploring the city. I appreciated how it added an extra layer of relaxation to my vacation. Just sitting by the pool with a cool drink in hand was a wonderful way to enjoy the sunny days in Jaffna.

Comfortable Stay

The room I stayed in was quite comfortable for my night at the hotel. It had everything I needed for a restful sleep after a long day. Although there wasn't a safe for valuables, the comfort level provided a good balance for a short stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone looking to relax.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room was a bit cramped and unfortunately smelled like smoke, but it was clean. The service was courteous but not very flexible. The hotel's proximity to the railway station was a huge plus, making travel super convenient. Overall, I found the price to be a bit high for the quality offered.

I had an exceptional dining experience at this hotel, especially with their Jaffna style crab curry. The ambiance was lovely and the service was fantastic. However, I encountered a totally different experience on another visit where the cleanliness was severely lacking. It seems like there can be a big discrepancy in maintenance, so that might be something to consider when booking.

The Green Grass Hotel has a charming layout with lovely communal spaces and decent food. However, the rooms are in pretty bad condition, and service can be quite inattentive, which detracts from the experience. It offers a good breakfast at a nearby hotel, but the overall maintenance needs improvement.
