An absolute no.
Dreadful. Left after less than two hours; the only positive aspect was that the hote allowed me to cancel without charging me. Loud, not clean, poor quality, dirty bedding. Avoid.

Excellent place for the price
The hotel is right next to Jaffna railway station and close to Jaffna town. The staff were very friendly and nice. The breakfast buffet have the best choices of regional tradional foods and also western breakfast choices. I would say the best breakfast buffet i have had through out my world travel so far. i will definitely stay hear again. They need to change the bed sheets they look old although they were clean. Other than than no complains at all.

Grubby
Grubby room and unfriendly management. View outside obscured because window was covered in filth. Got a distinct feeling they don't like foreigners very much.

Very convenient location and some good facilities
The bedrooms need some smartening up but the outdoor eating arrangements are very pleasant and so is the pool. A very good traditional Sri Lankan breakfast.

Worth for the money.
We were allocated to a different room as original rooms shower didn't work. This second room was in Hotel Valampuri just adjacent to Green grass and under same management. Happy with the stay.Food was nice. Good friendly service.

Comfortable but No window views!
The premises across the hotel
It is with great comfort & out door experience with in the boundaries of the hotel. The room is comfortable, it could be me, feeling a little clsustrophoebic without a window view totally blocked out by the new high rise building coming up.

It would have been better if the staff can communicate in English, as not all international visitors know Tamil.
