Hotel berhampiran Kanniyamman Templeஅருள்மிகு கன்னியம்மன் ஆலயம், Jaffna

During my visit to Jaffna for the Nallur festival in September, I unfortunately did not make a prior hotel reservation and decided to check availability at The Valampuri hotel upon arrival. However, I was informed that due to high demand, the hotel was fully booked. The receptionist recommended their sister company, Green Grass Hotel, which I reluctantly agreed to stay in, considering it was late at night and I had already traveled a long journey by train. The reservation at Green Grass Hotel was for six days. Upon reflection, I regret staying at Green Grass Hotel. The room provided was unclean and located in a secluded corner of the hotel. The bed appeared worn out with evident stains on the sheets. The condition of the toilet was disappointing, with cockroaches freely moving around. Moreover, the availability of hot water was inconsistent; it was only available on certain days. When I requested the cleaning staff to tidy the room while I explored Jaffna, their service was subpar, and I doubted if the bed sheets were even changed. Despite being listed as a two-star hotel on ***********, I would rate this hotel as a one-star establishment based on my experience. Although Green Grass Hotel claimed to have Wi-Fi, it did not function properly throughout my stay. Despite complaining about this issue for four consecutive days, no resolution was provided. It is worth mentioning that while some of the staff members were helpful, others displayed rude and unhelpful behavior. If circumstances force you to stay at Green Grass Hotel for one night in the absence of alternatives, I would strongly advise finding a more accommodating hotel in Jaffna as soon as possible. The overall experience at Green Grass Hotel was certainly not worth the stay.

It’s a beautifully furnished villa in a quiet residential area that has only 4 bedrooms. Our stay felt like staying in our own luxury bungalow with full butler service and a fabulous in-house cook. There’s a full service kitchen and you can opt to have all your meals there. We discussed and our meals were customised for a full Jaffna Tamil culinary experience, with one meal that included the famous Jaffna crab curry. Breakfasts were also feasts of their own and we could hardly walk after stuffing ourselves. Our stay of two nights felt too short. Special thanks to team Juckshan, Janaka, Megala and Ramesh for an unforgettable stay!

Value for money. Near all facilities. Had minor hiccups in the room but the front office uncle was quick to sort them. Bar and restaurant available. Breakfast was great and love the fresh milk tea in the morning. Best to provide driver stay foc like other av 3 stars for future referrals via them in appreciation

For me, there was no other accommodation option other than Jetwing Jaffna! I stayed there in 2018 and came back for a family visit in 2023. Its location in the middle of the city makes it a no-brainer as the choice of accommodation. The breakfast spread was impressive (I loved the bacon and sausages and the paal appam - out of this world stuff!). Staff were friendly and courteous. The roof top bar and the scenery was something to look foreword to winding down the evenings. If ever I return to Jaffna in the future, there will be no other choice for me to stay , except at Jetwing Jaffna.
