    Such a nice place in Trincomalee

    • Stayed 3 nights

    The rooms and toilets are small and very basic, and some extra cleaning would be a plus.

    When we arrived, we asked about hot water, and the owner explained that due to the local weather and piping, it wasn’t originally provided nor advertised online. However, the same day, he went out, bought, and installed a boiler and the shower we preferred, which exceeded all our expectations!!! The host, Babu, is extremely kind and prepares a solid breakfast to your liking. He also offered us free transport multiple times. They have two friendly dogs and a cat, adding to the charm. The accommodation is simple, like a hostel, but definitely a good option for staying especially for adventurous couples and backpackers. BTW local beach is totally close to the accommodation.

    In the rooms were a lot of ants. The host was a bit intrusive. Always knocked on the doors, also late at night. And the hosts watched tv so loud until midnight, that we couldn‘t sleep well.

    The rooms were clean

    Well, there are some little issues for me connected during the stay in this hotel such as: 1) Light breakfast. So it includes toast bread with butter and jam, watermelon, a piece of omelette and black tea. I like to eat a lot, so for me it was a little struggling to get full. 2) Hard mattresses. It was a little struggling to get asleep due to this thing That's it

    Really honest and responsible owner! If you have any issues he will help you to solve any kind of problem. In addition, the owner has his comrade Baboo, which is also kind and funny, so if you are sad don't hesitate to talk to him!)) The location is pretty average. Popular Uppuveli beach located 1,5-2 km from hotel, Central Bus station Trincomalee (3 km), Railway station Trincomalee (2km). However if you wanna hang out on the beach and just take a rest, no problem, there's a beach 200 meters from hotel, so you can enjoy it;)

    There was no feeling of privacy, because the owner or administrator the hotel were knocking at the door too often and persistent. The bathroom door had no lock, just a hole in it and was not closing. We got some dirty towels with big old stains.

    Location was good, very close to the beach and around 8 min to the bus station by tuktuk.

    1. In the room it’s impossible to charge the phone or anything else, because the plugs are not compatible with the world wide adapter. There is only one working plug in the kitchen outside the room. 2. Our room was full of mosquitos and without mosquitoes net. 3. It is impossible to adjust the fan’s speed which was too strong, noisy and annoying. We couldn’t sleep. 4. During the night we wrote a message to the owner explaining the issue, but he answered the day after in the evening saying sorry. 5. It was very difficult to communicate whit the owner. 6. For these reasons we left the room the day after, even if we had paid for 2 nights.

    1. Location close to the centre and close to the beach

    There are no mosquito nets (neither on the windows nor over the beds), which is a bit inconvenient. It could be a bit cleaner (in the room, e.g. the sink and in the kitchen). However, the biggest problem turned out to be bedbugs, which bit us severely for two nights (it was not a one-time incident). But we reported it to the host and showed him - he seemed concerned about this fact - we believe that he will take care of eliminating this problem. With great sympathy for this place and the host

    The hostel is on one of the main streets, but the rooms are quiet. There is access to a fridge, stove and sink. There is a large table with chairs in the living room. Great internet - which is not common in Sir Lanka. Location close to the beach. The host is open and communicative - he is happy to talk about local customs, people, culture...

    We booked 3 bedrooms from booking.com. But after we arrived to the hotel they said that they didnt see our reservation from booking.com. We faced so many difficulties to find a place to stay for night and cannot accept their irresponsible and careless works.

    The location was close to the beach and not far to other sightseeing in Trincomalee. AC was going properly.There is also kitchen and big table available and I saw families with children who used to cook here every day or you can just make coffee or eat great Sri Lanka fruits and sit together with your friends. On the backside is small garden, where you can make your laundry dry. The Best was Babu, funny guy full of humour and energy every day, who served me nice breakfast and helped with everything I needed, even rent of motorbike for Goodyear price. @Babu, I will miss you,please send me email, that we can stay in touch and I can thank you in person, unfortunately my goodbye was due to time preassure very stressfull and I feeled sorry for that... I can only recommend this place, for me nice last days of relaxing before coming back to airport by night bus, price was also fine for my already low budget.
