I really liked it here. It is off the main road, so it is nice and quiet. It is fairly new so the rooms were in a good condition with lots of space. The staff were really friendly and helpful too. It is good value.

Comfy bed (top floor was the best within the hotel) as I saw a couple of rooms on the different levels. Had a nice sleep here.

The breakfast is simple and expensive, so is better to eat outside. there was a cockroach in the bathroom. is better to close window and also door.

The hotel was near the beach. When we arrived the air condition not working, we told the receptionist. After twenty minutes came service and repaired it. they had beer for us after long way to hotel.

It seemed the hotel was a little unfinished however it was still comfortable and was clean, on the booking.com add it does say its served with a free included breakfast however when arrived the manager said it was not the case and if we did want breakfast you could at a extra cost.

The manager was attentive and helpful, it was the cheapest hotel room in Trincomalee area that had air con. There was somewhere to sit on a peaceful balcony which was a lovely open space, there was blankets available for the room if you wanted them, ask at reception. The location was great, it was approximately 10 minutes walk to Uppuveli Beach which was calm and clean to swim in. The bars across the beach vary in price, we went with the first one you come to at the end of the road to the beach, you will walk through a archway to get to it.(blue sand beach resort) This road is on the left, on the opposite side of the road as you get to the main road, this was fair in pricing for a beach and you can use the loungers if you bought a drink. When you return from the beach Hotel Sun Blue have a outside tap to wash down your feet, which is a nice feature. The local attractions were all a short drive away and we ate twice at 4 Doner, where we had a delicious biryani, make sure to order the fried chicken one as they serve it with a delicious homemade curry sauce. We also visited W1 Cafe, which is on top of a hardware store, which seems random but it had the sweetest owners and they will help you find it when you walk past it if you do lose your way. The coffee shop is unfinished but serves a decent coffee made the western way with beans. Fort Frederick is also a great place to visit, cheap entry and is next to a free entry temple (Koneswaram)which you can see from the viewpoint that FF sits on, this was really interesting as you walk through a local market to get there with wild deer roaming around. When you arrive, you are met with a colourful entrance with a massive statue of Shiva, if you enter the temple around 1630, they do their Prayer rituals around 5, which smells divine and is beautiful to watch and experience. You could stay there longer than what we did which was a couple of nights however you can get all of the surrounding sites done within 2 days.

Located in a quiet street, which may feel a bit iffy at night if you're travelling alone. We didn't go for breakfast here, because the price is too high, but there are a few good alternatives nearby.

Not far from a nice little area at the beach with plenty of restaurants. A/C worked well; shower was hot too (if needed - a cool shower is fine in hot weather). Friendly staff. Not too expensive.

Only the twin sheets; we would prefer a double top sheet but this did not affect a good night's sleep. It would be great to have a bar fridge in the room (As we are Australian LOL.) Raj kept our drinks cool and ran them to our top floor thanks dear Raj. Reading lights would be great but they don't really feature in Sri Lanka.]

Our manager Raj did his utmost to make our stay enjoyable. The room was cool, squeaky clean and we slept like babies. Raj can assist you with scooter hire, transport, laundry and banter. If you go out for dinner try Rice and Curry, a Bob Marley inspired fresh seafood restaurant. Buy your fresh caught fish and they grill it up for you with some chips. Best dinner in Trinco by miles.

Hotel Sun Blue in Trincomalee is a great choice for a stay in Uppuveli. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable, and the A/C works perfectly. The hosts are kind and attentive, and the location is ideal, just a short walk from the beach. Amenities are basic, but for the price, it's a perfect stay

Super location very close to the beach Staff was very nice. Thank you Raj for being welcoming. Very close to very nice Hawaï beach restaurant

It’s a bit expensive for what you get, but I think that might be because it has AC (a lot of places in Trincomalee only have fans). There was loud thudding sometimes coming from the roof - I think some staff members have a room up there that got a bit loud sometimes

Comfiest bed I’ve had in Sri Lanka. Air con was a treat and the wardrobe & desk were handy

if there is one thing that could be improved, it’s the seating at the balcony and the wifi but all in all we enjoyed it very much!

cleanliness, bright room & bathroom with window, comfortable beeds, great a/c, water refill station to reduce plastic, helpful roomboy who made us smile every day and the owner jensi who was willing to help us with all our needs, location (close to uppaveli beach & local restaurants/shops) we highly recommended this place :)

We had a very good experience staying in Trincomalee. The hotel is clean, comfortable, and in an excellent location. A special mention goes to the Hotel Manager, Mr. Raj, who was incredibly helpful and attentive. He went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, making our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Trincomalee!

The accommodation is a little off the main road. The location is fine. The staff was nice and helpful. The rooms are basic but adequate. Unfortunately, warm water did not work during our stay. The WiFi also only worked very rarely. The bed creaked with every little movement, which kept us awake at night.

Raj was an amazing host.

The shower pressure was not that good, but this is pretty normal in Sri Lanka.

Really friendly owners, really great location, just a couple of minutes from the beach, all restaurants, ATM and small market. Great breakfast with fruit, bread, eggs, tea. Good clean room and restroom. Also WiFi and AC were really good.
