Find Hotels in Trincomalee, Sri Lanka

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 eating at The Crab restaurant on the same site there was a range of food styles to choose from. We flew to Trincomalee airport which is not that far from the hotel however the transport was expensive at Rs4,000/= it is best to use a three-wheeler (having first agreed the price) rather than have a van or car, Rs800/= is a good price to pay currently. The three wheeler we used had probably the most honest driver I have experienced in my six years in Sri Lanka.

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 adjacent building. We have complained, but the staff in reception told us that this the room we paid for and there are no other vacancies. The whole issue has finally been elevated to the level of a hotel manager who moved us to the high floor room the following day and compensated for the night in substandard room with a free dinner buffet. The rest of our stay was pleasant and without further problems. Food was good; buffet was not the largest, but the dishes were tasty and the chef was always happy to prepare something special. So, with a better attitude from the staff this hotel would be a success.

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 - amazing. Beach is clean, nobody is there all around, so you can really enjoy every single minute. Staff is very friendly and they are gorgeous. Only internet wifi is a little bad covered in the room. It is working in the restaurant and bar and reception.

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 hotel is close to some nice restaurants on the beach and great activities can be booked either trough the hotel or tour agents on the beach (cheaper). I would really recommend a snorkeling tour at the Pigeon Island! nice corral reef with myn fishes, riff sharks and turtles. The only down-side was that the Wi-Fi did not work in our room!

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 at all areas. Delicious food, specially seafood at reasonable prices. Nice beach. Very close to the city and major attractions of Trincomalee. Secured parking within the hotel premises. Large ground, well maintained green and a cricket pitch. Swimming pool is nicely located in shades. Beautiful landscaping. Greenery everywhere. Only downside is that rooms are bit smaller but not to the extend of creating any discomfort.

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 .!

My stay went really well at alfreso. Good food. Friendly staffs. Very helpful. Special thanks to manager suba. Highly recommend this place

We loved the place. Around 400m from the Uppuveli beach. The owner & the staff are very helpful & friendly. Breakfast was very good with many choices. Only problem is the high cost.

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 rather than wait 5 minutes for a tuk tuk. The young lady on reception was very attentive inviting us to share a festive breakfast on a hindu celebration day. All in all we would definately revisit this establishment, we have stayed in over 10 hotels/homestays in the past month throughout Sri Lanka this was the best to date. Thankyou for such an enjoyable stay.

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!

An amazingly clean place with a super comfortable bed. We really enjoyed the place and the hosts. Thank you guys.

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 bill and if we are unable to pay the $10 ledger he would be forced to recover the cost from the cashier. We found this to be extremely poor form considering the amount of money we spent, tips given and the way the email was constructed. We are travelers and can roll with the punches but we found this to be of poor taste. Apart from this a great experience! P.s $18 for ice cream is a bit rich!!!!

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 a seat to Jaffna!! Service doesn’t come better than that.

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 eggs) which is tasty. Staff are pleasant. I asked for a kettle and tea bags which they gladly provided. Nice garden and there’s place for parking. I find the lights in the room are not too bright and could do better with lower the watts. Next phase for hotel is to build a swimming pool, restaurant and more rooms. I would recommend Luna Beach Hotel.

really nice manager which invited us to family party what was one of the best experience in Sri Lanka ....hi was really nice and helpful whole stay

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 cash.

We had 4 nights in this accommodation of our 3 weeks trip through Sri Lanka. The stay was without problems. Nice and friendly staff and clean rooms. We could recommend this accommodation!

We just arrived and decided to stay one more night. The people there are so kind and it is just a perfect place to stay! We can't say sonething bad - only good things The food is really deliciuos and you have to try the Sri Lankan breakfast.

Nearby is the beautifull Vishnu Temple. Owner Lali is very good person:not drink alcogol, not drugs , and religion to all Gods and carefull about guests.

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🌴

The room has no ventilation so no fresh air flowing into the room. There is no charging plug point for mobile or laptop. The door mat provided outside bathroom doesn't absorb water, so room becomes slippery.

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 site yet but I think it's the owners or managers sister has a restaurant round the corner. The wifi is good, it just depends how many people are on it. Nice area outsid the room to sit,read, work on my computer. They don' t hassle you for tours etc and arranging a tuk tuk to trincomalee station at 6am was easy and the cheapest quote I had as well. Also the manager took me on the back of his bike to get a beer which was super kind. If I were to really pick a fault the bathroom is a little small and dated but it had no reflection on how great the place was. We tipped Nikesh on leaving because he really is a great guy and worker, it would be nice if more people did the same.

Nice spacious bungalow with air conditioning. In a calm neighborhood. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was varied according to Sri Lankan style – for examble Hoppers. The beach is only a few minutes walk. WiFi worked well.

It’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea. But hey get out of bed walk down the corridor through the dinning area & you are on the friggin beach! It’s a blast.
