Best hotels & accommodations in Trincomalee

The staff were very attentive, friendly and efficient. We were two friends having a short break and enjoyed the relaxing time we had there. The sea eagles were a sight to see when the fish were being hauled in. Whilst there was a bit of a swell to the waves the sea was basically safe for swimming for those able to do so. The food was very good and with the option of ...

We have visited the hotel in early August and it was one of the best places in Sri Lanka. The hotel is new and modern, there are 2 excellent swimming pools and great outdoor terrace for breakfast and dinner. Having said that, our stay has not been without problems. We have booked a sea view room, but we got a room on 1st floor with an ugly view to the roof on the adjac...

We were staying in this hotel for 5 nights at the end of trip around Sri Lanka. We decided that we rather choose 5 stars hotel in Trincomalee instead of going for the same price on Maldives in hotel 3 stars. Everything was excellent. Rooms are big, clean, staff is cleaning the room 3 times in day. Food was delicious and very nice prepared. Especially breakfast - a...

Nice hotel located at the beach of Trincomalee with a nice pool and an aisle, which connects the hotel directly to the beach. The room was spacious and well-equipped (TV, fridge, ceiling fan, water boiler with coffee and tea, AC). At the breakfast you can coose from a good variety of western and sri-lankan stlye food, also eggs and omeletes are freshly prepared. The ho...

Had a good stay, location is great on the lagoon, not far from a good beach and a side road with lots of restaurants and bars. Room was very good, we had a junior suite, but think there are better value options in Sri Lanka (although not in Trinco, hence why we stayed here). Overall would recommend if you have the cash

This is a very nice hotel right next to the beach. All amenities to have a comfortable stay is available. Very good view from 01st and 2nd rooms. Best rooms are located at the second floor but know that there is no elevator. Beds are comfy. Good Quality Linen. Good Housekeeping. Very friendly and helpful staff at all areas. Child friendly facilities. Excellent service ...

Spanking new apartments. Clean and well maintained. The staffs are really welcoming. The location is awesome, right on the beach. And the beach is totally unspoilt, never crowded, clear water, not too deep, very good for swim. The pigeon island is a stone throw away. All in all amazing place for relaxing holiday.

Great place, excellent view and very clean room. All staff members are friendly, specially restaurant services and foods are excellent, the man who worked at the hotel resturent which my day, he is the excellent service provider which I met. Special thanks to him. Highly recommend the place for your journey .!

We treated ourselves to 3 nights with an upgrade to poolside at the park which was well worth it. The only downside is that the menu was a little limited for european tastes. The young staff are keen to learn English so please be patient. The tuk tuk transfer to the sister hotel on the beach is an added bonus. The owner very kindly took us back to the park in his car r...

Really nice hotel for pleasant stay. Owner is friendly and has lots of info about surrounding areas and short cuts. Staff helpful and relaxed, all working hard to make sure smooth running. Pool great and we enjoyed watching the various wildlife swoop for their prey! Beach is a short walk. Nice quiet area, definitely recommended, thanks!

We weren’t going to write a review however we just received an email and thought we should share. The hotel itself was fantastic and very relaxing. It had great facilities and some great stuff (minus the manager). We had an enjoyable time however 3 days after check out we received an email from the manager stating the cashier had failed to add two beers to our final bi...

My host, Mr Joseph is one of the most dedicated in the business. From his (well-educated / excellent English) friendliness to his absolute concern for my well-being he was the key to my enjoyment of Trincomalee. How about a host who actually goes to the bus station to sit/occupy a bus seat while ringing a tuk-tuk to collect me from Trobiko so that he could be sure Ihad...

Hotel has been built for about a year. It’s new, clean, spacious, has air conditioning, fan, hot shower and is located just 2 minutes walk from the beach. There are many restaurants within walking distance. Try Red Lobster Restaurant which is 10 minutes walk away. (Value for money). The hotel can prepare local or continental breakfast (toast with butter and jam and egg...

Not a 5 star hotel by any means,but if you are looking for a basic,clean and simple place to chill out for a few days, this is the place. I had one of the cottages which was quite roomy with a double and single bed with mosquito nets. No hot water,but who needs it ? Good meals in pleasant dining area and reasonably priced. No credit card facilities,so remember to take ...

One of the best experience in whole srilanka😊the family was awesome and cute at the same time, thank you for everything❤️we felt so comfortable😘the beach is only 200m from the accommodation, a little supermarket only across the road. If you need a scooter it's 1500per day. The wifi was pretty good. I hope we see you soon. 🌴Asis, Julie, Zuleika & Manuel🌴

Great value for your money as a number of the other hotels here are over-hyped and over priced. The rooms are super clean and comfortable and you are a hop, skip and a jump to the beach and a number of the eating establishments in the area. Staff is also very friendly.

Having read the reviews about the owners being not so friendly and helpful I was very sceptical in staying here. We were a group of 3 and we had a fantastic stay here for 4 nights ! We had every help we could get from the owners (2 brothers). I would come back to stay here if I find myself in Trincomalee again :)

Alhough the staff need a little bit more experience they were polite and friendly. All other fascilities like Pigeon island and *hotels with pool and Restaurants are wthin walking distances. Good place for families with kids too. We would definitely come back!

Love this place. Nikesh the staff member here is absolutely amazing, always smiling, nothing is trouble for him to do and he work ethic and customer service is incredible, he is always doing something. The first thing I noticed as I opened the door to my room was how spotless clean it was. The location is great, just a short walk to the beach. There is no restaurant on...
Cheapest hotels in Trincomalee

I spent eight days at the residence after booking just one night. Lisa and Rwan are fantastic hosts, and wonderful people. I didn't want to leave. It was just the place I was looking for to relax, after having spent a noisy/busy couple of weeks travelling the west coast. The people in trincomalee and Nilavelli are much friendlier than the people in the south too. I wil...

I visited Trincomaleeduring the low season and it was quite empty with rough seas. The hostel is actually a diving scool in high season and converts to a hostel in the low season. It was eery and wonderful staying there virtually alone as the single staff person leaves for the night. It is very clean with plenty of cool.shower water, electricity, and wifi.

Definitely the best guest house I’ve ever stayed in. The owner and staff makes you feel right at home. The breakfast was amazing every morning. The owners dogs and cats were very nice. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The owner really goes above and beyond to make your feel comfortable and enjoy your stay. Don’t think twice about staying here, you won’t regret it....

This guesthouse is one of the best I’ve ever been. The atmosphere, the owner and the family, the hammocks, the green garden, the simple and relaxed way how they handle everything makes you feel so comfortable that you don’t want to leave this place early. The breakfast is amazing, very big and different every day. The bed is a king bed ! And the rooms were very clean. ...

New building (2yrs old) with nice build offering good value. 15 minute walk up the beach to the main bars/restaurants. Close to supermarket, pharmacy, bank. Manager is helpful to organise rides/cars. Excellent AC and hot shower, which is more than can be said for many places in Trinco.

It is hard to find decent budget accomodation in some parts of Sri Lanka. Finding somewhere around $20 is sometimes a bit dodgy but staying at Sharhira wasn't one of those times. You get a clean room with a good working fan. The gardens are really nice to chill out in (except the russians walking around in their underwear wtf?). It is only a few minutes walk to a dream...

We really appreciated our stay at Pleasant Park. Rooms are comfortable and clean. The long veranda was a nice spot to chill. But what truly makes it a unique and lovely place is the owner Dheepan and his friend and helper, Ushantan. They are the most welcoming and kind people. It was a great pleasure to spend time with them, chat and get to know them a little better.

A little house on a beautiful beach with a Nice balcony in front of it. The room was simple and could have been cleaner. We had good breakfasts for a normal price 300-400 rupees. You can choose for western and sri lankan and they will bring it to your balcony. The toilet was loose from the ground so you had to be carefull. We had our laundry done for 50 rupees each. I...

I stayed overnight at this hotel alone. The staffs are very kind and helped me. It is easy to go Nilavel beach from this hotel. They can arrange the program according to what visitors want in Trincomalee. I want to stay at this hotel again when I come Trincomalee again! Thank you all of the staffs, and especially the owner!

Place locate in 1km from city center facing Kandy road near Ors hil road.Just 100LKR from place to bus stand, railway station or city center.We booked family room for 4600LKR from agoda & it was superb.Very clean room & bathroom.Room was not very big bur average space equipped with 32 in flat TV, Air con, Fan ,Comfy two double beds & modern bathroom with hot water.Shar...

We would not go back to the hotel. Staff is really badly organized just some examples, we arranged a boat trip to go dolphin watching _ really nice btw saw 100 dolphins and a whale _ as we knew it takes very long we ordered everything the evening before for 7 am. This was not possible but we were promised all would be ready at 7 40 so we wake up the kids. No one there....

From the arrival process to having to say goodbye to everyone, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The staff is incredible. Any questions and they had the answer! They also helped with renting a motorbike (1,500r per day). The rooms were nice and bright. White sheets are always appreciated. The AC was nice and cold! Wifi worked better than expected. Just a heads up- they...

Hotel and associated PADI dive centre are excellent for a single traveller wishing to dive or for keen recreational divers. The dive centrevstaff and service were excellent, they could not have been more obliging. Their focus on safety is impressive and often lacking in developing markets. Thebhotelnis quite isolated and there is little else to do othervthan diving, sn...

This was our favourite hotel on our whole trip around Sri Lanka. If you need a couple of days to simply relax and recharge, then this has to be the place. The hotel is simply lovely, the rooms are spacious, stylish and well appointed. The pool is magnificent as is the beach which is right at the end of the grounds. Staff were great and the food excellent. Be warne...

Traveler impressions of Trincomalee
In addition to the nice beaches one can visit Fort Fredrick situated near the Dutch bay with turquoise waters.
This is a busy port town with plenty of shops, a fish market and generally pretty place. cargills supermarket is there , great place just to wander round and look, lovers leap was a bit disappointing but the temple where people hang little baby cots on the trees to wish for pregnancy interesting, the dodol sweet on the way up to it the best, go there take a walk and enjoy yourself
We visited out of season so very few tourists around. Walking around the city did not feel comfortable at all.
I thought it was a great place, but I did not enjoy the town. Only pacifying thing was the Beach and great sea like a quiet pool.
It is a military zone, former, but it is... All details remind you that some years ago there was a war.
The city is very Poor looks like the Tsunami hit it 24 hours ago. But the beach is seriously not to be missed the Pigeon Island is a Must go location and the cows walking freely in the village at night is a funny show .
A Beautiful place, we unfortunatly went in October when there was still some rain, so diving or snokeling on the coral reef was not really possible.
Large city without proper development.There are no good places for eating or shopping.Beach is very beautiful but most of the people here are poor.
Quaint and Historical. Many stories about strive by survivors from the war and tsunami. Beautiful beaches and friendly people.
