Villa Hotel ★★★

📍 22 Lower Rd, Trincomalee

"There were so many things, but overall, all the staff were very hardworking, kind and good people! First of all, it seems that the reservation for 4 nights that I had made on Trip.com was not made at the time of check-in. There are many staff members, but there are only about two staff members who can communicate in English without any problems, and it was difficult to find them every time lol. I was hurriedly guided to my room, but I couldn't find the air conditioner remote control, and a staff member just brought me a towel (probably the room was hastily provided, so it was not fully prepared?) When I asked for the remote control at that time, they brought it to me relatively quickly. The wi-fi password was handwritten on the phone, but it was faded and I couldn't read it, so I looked for a staff member again and asked lol. I thought there would be hot water, but it was room temperature (it was a little cold at first, but if you try hard to take a shower, it feels like it's getting warmer for some reason, but it was exactly the same temperature lol) and the water pressure was quite weak. I asked the staff, but it seems that the temperature probably can't be changed. I asked them for at least the water pressure, and it improved a little. However, the water pressure was weak again the next night, so I asked them to adjust the water pressure every day for four days before taking a shower. When the staff came to check the water pressure, they stood on the bath mat with their shoes on, and the bath mat turned black because the shoes were wet with water... This happened two days in a row, so we told them that the water pressure had improved and it was okay to check it. It may be a cultural difference, but I guess they don't care about guests' bath mats turning black. The laundry service, free bicycle rental, and currency exchange that were listed on Trip.com (same as ***********) were not available lol The location is nice, right in front of the sea. It's a 10-20 minute walk to the town, but I was so scared of the stray dogs at night (they sleep and relax during the day, but are super active at night...) that I had to use a tuk-tuk every time. The hotel itself is not bad, but the shower was the only thing that bothered me. There were also frequent power outages every day. (It wasn't particularly difficult, but it sometimes took several hours lol) The staff were all really trying to solve the problem and listen to our requests. They were very calm and friendly, and always had a shy smile lol However, their English was quite weak, so it was necessary to be patient and communicate."

Nilaveli Beach Hotel
8.9 (61 reviews)

Nilaveli Beach Hotel ★★★

📍 11th mile Post, Nilaveli

"This excellent hotel is really a resort. It is off the beaten path, but worth the extra travel time to get there. The staff are very friendly and the food at both restaurants is very good. There is easy access to the beach and it’s quiet. We were there for new years. I highly recommend it!"

C Beyond Nilaveli
9.0 (56 reviews)

C Beyond Nilaveli ★★★★

📍 Ghandinagar, Kumpurupiddi, Trincomalee

"If you don't like insects and mosquitoes, this isn't for you, but it's a perfect place for an isolated holiday. Although the staff's English is poor, they are friendly and helpful. I would also recommend it for families."

Neem Tree House, Trincomalee
9.3 (5 reviews)

Neem Tree House, Trincomalee ★★★★

📍 77 Main Street, Trincomalee

"Brand new hotel, great amenities for that area. Close to the beach and the temple. Don’t expect to feel like you’re home though:)"

Nilaveli Royal Paradise
9.7 (6 reviews)

Nilaveli Royal Paradise

📍 1 9th Mile Post, Trincomalee

"A fantastic hotel! We stayed here for four nights and absolutely loved it. We've never regretted choosing this place. The main advantage of this hotel is its customer service. The owner is a local who genuinely cares about his guests and strives to make their stay as comfortable as possible. You truly feel a sense of home-like hospitality here. The entire staff is very polite, friendly, and attentive. They're always ready to help with any questions: order a tuk-tuk, suggest interesting and beautiful places, help organize a trip, make arrangements, or solve everyday problems. The owner was always ready to help and offer advice. He even showed us the surrounding area for free and gave us a short drive around the area, for which we're especially grateful. The room has everything you need for a comfortable stay: a shower with hot water, a hairdryer, an iron, air conditioning, and a fan. The bed linens and towels were clean. The bed was large and comfortable. The room was clean, and we didn't see any insects or other critters. Despite the convenient location, it was quiet at night. The rooms are located well back from the road, so traffic noise doesn't interfere with our rest. The hotel is very close to the ocean. Most attractions, points of interest, and activities in the area are about a 15-minute tuk-tuk ride away. I'd especially like to mention the food—everything was delicious. We felt very comfortable and relaxed here. A big thank you to the owner and the entire team for their care and the wonderful time we spent here. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to experience true Sri Lankan hospitality, not just an overnight stay. We would happily stay here again!"

Havana Club Resort
7.3 (18 reviews)

Havana Club Resort ★★★

📍 No 07 Alles Garden, Trincomalee

"I visited this place with my wife in July 2025. We were travelling to Trinco for 2 days. We were running late so we contacted the property. They asked us the approximate time we would take to reach the place and informed us that they would keep the a/c on an hour before we reach so we would be comfortable on arrival. This one act of service is where I would start off my opinion of this place. Here the service is something other hotels need to ponder upon. The staff are very friendly. They make sure to find out our needs and try to resolve it asap. They helped us find a good deal for snorkeling in Pidgeon island, they prepared a special Sri Lankan style breakfast and lunch on our request, they arranged transport for us in the early hours of the morning (Pickme/Uber was not responding at that time) at the last moment with no extra charge and so on. The friendly service and attention to our care really touched us and made our trip more memorable. In respect to the rooms, there is some aspects that need attention. Shower Plumbing, exhaust were issues, itsy bitsy details missing that would otherwise perfect the stay there. But the room was neat, washroom was clean, moderately sound insulated room. The basic facilities needed in a 3-4 star room were met. The pool was small but ok, but if you are spending your time around Alles Garden and the beach, the pool is irrelevant. I would say that, I really enjoyed my stay there. I really thank the staff there. I hope you continue to provide such wonderful service and hopefully if fate gives us a chance, we would definitely visit the property again. Thank you Havana Club."

"Nice, quiet and decent accomodation in the beach village Nilaveli with very attentive staff! A large green garden in front of every room. Justin, one of the staff members was both a great chef but also showed an extreme level of service which I enjoyed a lot during my 3 nights staying there!"

Thirumalai Park Hotels in Trincomalee

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."

Aa Inn

"This is an excellent hotel, especially for the price. It has all the facilities you need, and everything was clean and comfortable. The staff were the best part of my stay. They were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. I wanted to go dolphin watching, and they arranged everything for me. They organized a tuk-tuk to pick us up from the hotel, take us to the boat, and bring us back afterwards, which made the whole experience completely hassle-free. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area. It offers great value for money, and I will definitely be coming back. 10/10!"

The Beach House  Nilaveli Hotels in Trincomalee

The Beach House Nilaveli

"Overall, it's a good place: spacious rooms, 30 meters from the endless, deserted beach (through the grounds of the neighboring resort). You can use the resort's sun loungers. Breakfasts were excellent. The air conditioning and Wi-Fi worked perfectly. The staff was polite and helpful. Any issues that arose were resolved promptly. The main problem was upon check-in, when the owner said he couldn't see my reservation. It turned out his infrastructure was tailored exclusively to *********** and Agoda. It was a bit of a bummer..."

Hotel Sun Blue Hotels in Trincomalee

Hotel Sun Blue

"Clean and comfortable rooms. Friendly and flexible staff. 5 minits to the amazing beach. The ATM, restaurants and mini supermarkets are nearby. There is a fridge in the kitchen to store your own stuff and have the facility to cook your food. Highly recommended!"

Villa Hotel ★★★
"The location is fantastic, the room overlooking the bay is excellent, with a table set with tea bags, sugar, and, a rarity, glasses in sterile paper bags. Dinner was delicious and not overly expensive. Everything seemed fine. But - as long as there is a manager you can talk to who will give instructions to the staff. We couldn't get a second towel. In the evening, we ordered breakfast for 7:30 in the morning so we could leave early. Until 8:00, we couldn't find anyone at either the restaurant or reception. Then we managed to catch some half-asleep guy, I don't even know who he was. We reminded him about breakfast, he ran in, and 15 minutes later, instead of an English breakfast, he brought an undercooked egg, toast, margarine and jam, and half a tangerine. We also ordered one extra coffee, since we were sure coffee was included in the breakfast. But in the end, two coffees were charged separately. I don't mind spending the money, but cheating over trivial details is somehow unsightly and damages the hotel's image. We won't be going again. Although, I repeat, the room and view are excellent."
