Jeys Place

"We went to Jeys Place for a snack while waiting for our Ayurveda treatment in a nearby spa … and we liked it so much we came back for dinner too! The atmosphere is very nice and calm, the food is great, but the hospitality is what does the trick! Highly recommend if you are looking for a simple and real Sri-Lankan experience."

NN Beach Resort Nilaveli

"Booked 2 family rooms & paid deposit .When we turned up the manager who said he was a former lieutenant in the army said only one room was available,as the guest in the room reserved for us is sick & refuses to go .So some of us have to spend one night in a different hotel! But when confronted he admitted that he lied !We had to pay him additional money for the other hotel . Rest of the staff were very good .Beware of mosquito.Hoards of it ."

Casamia Oceanfront Condo Nilaveli

Thirumalai Park

"One of the worst hotels on the island...no air conditioning, the stuffiness is terrible. We spent two nights here. I had nightmares... I woke up every hour from lack of air. There is no hot water provided. The linen is of terrible quality... it feels like bed fleas are biting. 850 meters from the beach. Walk along the country road. There are a lot of cows and dogs on the beach. Quite dirty. On the left side is a security zone with a radiation sign. After 18:00 we couldn’t get to the beach due to a lot of wild and angry dogs... this is also the first time I’ve seen it. The food at the hotel is tasteless, they don’t know how to cook at all. And very expensive at that. 6,000 rupees for two for tuna overcooked to black and fresh juice from who knows what. There are a lot of intrusive dogs on the hotel premises that rush at you from all angles. God forbid you end up with food in your hands. To get into the room you have to work hard to drive them away. There is nowhere to eat outside the hotel. This is a village."

French Garden Resort

"For anyone visiting Trincomalee (or Uppuveli) for that matter. This is a very convenient budget stay where you can stay in a quiet noise atmosphere and cover many places around from beaches, to famous places around Trinco. The cleanliness is just okay for the price but they could improve more on that. The rooms are big and have good ventilation with A/C & fan (although some A/C did need servicing so when we left out we turned the A/C on and closed the door and went to return to a cool room). It was quite difficult to get a tea in the morning, lucky we brought some sachets. Overall convenient spot to cover the nearby spots of Trinco. Good service for the value they provide overall. They have their own ample parking space the only trouble were the dogs at night."

Akki's Hostel

"The beach is very close and the mother of the owner is really helpful and nice. It’s good for solo travellers."

Namaste Nilaveli

"This is a new small guest house (ca. 8 rooms) in Nilaveli. It's on a side road with no traffic and hardly any neighbours - very quiet at night! It's a 10-minute walk to the lovely Nilaveli beach, all on side roads with no traffic, passing typical Sri Lankan houses with the occasional cow on the road. The beach is beautiful there, you can walk along it for a long distance. The room was very large with a double bed, bedside tables, shelves to keep stuff, plenty of hangers and clothes rack. There was AC and fan for cooling. The room had 17 plugs! The bathroom is very spacious, no wet floors all over when taking a shower. There is also a nice sitting area in front of the room to relax. Everything is spotless clean. The hotel was completed just before the Covid outbreak. Right now there is no hot water or TV but I guess that will be put once the guests start arriving. The owner is on site and makes sure that everybody is comfortable. He has worked in a luxury hotel before and knows what he is doing. The food was simply amazing. You discuss your food desires in the morning and they go shopping and prepare it freshly for you. Delicious! We definitely will come back here."

Ceylon Antheia Beach Resort

"A small house on the beach. The location is just a dream. But when we were inhabited, we were not waiting. The house smelled bad and the flying flies flew. The mouse ran at night. From the pleasant waves are constantly heard"
