Located on the beachfront, this property features a bar. The guest house has spa facilities, sun terrace and outdoor fireplace, and guests can dine in the restaurant.

We totally recommend staying with Giri. He has a good sense of humor and a laugh that made me laugh instantly, too. Good idea to drink some tea with him! Then also, Giri is very kind and chill. We were offered breakfast when we had not booked it, for example. Also, he allowed us to have a late check out, because of our dolphin watching tour. Not to forget, Maria, the housekeepster is super friendly and takes great care of you whenever she can. The room is nice, the garden too and the location just perfect. So close to the beach, but still on a quiet street, many restaurants and supermarket close by. Totally go for it!

Set 500 metres from Uppuveli beach, Nongu Home offers air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace. This recently renovated guest house is located 4 km from Kanniya Hot Springs and 5.2 km from Trincomalee Railway Station. The guest house has private entrance.

I stayed there for 4 nights and I really enjoyed it. The room is smaller but super cosy, modern and the open air bathroom is really cool! :-) Whole apartment is about 5 mins walking to the beach. Rizvi (owner) is a nice person, caring and he made my stay in Trincomalee really comfortable. As a female solo traveler I felt comfortable and safe in Nongu and I would definitely stay here again.

Bike hire is available at this guest house and the area is popular for diving. The guest house also offers car hire. Kanniya Hot Springs is 3.6 km from Alass Ga for pets lovers, while Koneswaram Temple is 5 km from the property.

I can’t even put into words how much we enjoyed our stay. Yes, the rooms were great with A/C, we loved the filtered water and the location was fantastic, but it was more than that. Prashanth devotes his life to helping the strays in the area. It is abundantly clear that he has a good heart and truly cares about making small differences. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio at night and having conversations with him. We learned so much more about his life, Sri Lankan history and culture. Prashanth is welcoming and trustworthy and full of helpful tips with your stay. Thank you Prashanth for welcoming us into your home and for all that you do for the animals!

Located in Trincomalee, Paris Garden Resort features accommodation with a pool with a view. The air-conditioned accommodation is 300 metres from Uppuveli beach, and guests can benefit from private parking available on site and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is situated 4.3 km from Kanniya Hot Springs.

Trincomalee Railway Station is 5.7 km from the guest house, while Kali Kovil is 6.7 km from the property. The nearest airport is China Bay Airport, 10 km from Paris Garden Resort.

We'd only booked for two nights but extended to four as we needed to rest and relax. Our room was of a reasonable standard, but on occasions it smelt of sewage. The bathroom sink and the shower drain haven't got 'U' bends so the smell is not prevented from escaping into the room. Shame as everything else was good. The electric shower worked well with hot water. The air conditioner worked well but there was something wrong with the remote control as it was tempremental and didn't work well. We stuck it on 30c and used the fan instead. It would be nice to have tea and coffee making facilities in the room. However the main reason for our extended stay was the huge clean swimming pool which was brilliant. We had it mostly to ourselves as there are only six rooms and only five were let. Most people staying went out for most of the day leaving the pool to us. The water was warm too. My little thermometer read 33.4c. Overall a good place to stay lots of restaurants nearby and the beach is juat a stones throw away. The waste pipes just need 'U' bends to stop the smell.

    Akkis Hostel is a very chilled Place. I was there during the Off-Season, so it was very quiet. It’s close to the Beach, just a minute to walk. The Dorm was simple, but ok. I did not miss anything. They kindly prepared my Bed with a Mosquito Net.Akki and his Family are really nice and helpful. There are also nice little local Restaurants around.

    Behind the entrance gate is a beautiful peaceful garden, with pleasant comfortable rooms, and a very warm welcome from a lovely family. Theepan was a great host, genuinely friendly, helpful, and his Dad is a legend! Very interesting conversations, help with laundry, and to rent a scooter at a decent price. Well situated for exploring north and south of Trinco. Comfortable clean room, thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    Incredibly cheap accommodation. The hosts were both lovely. Decent bed and it seemed like it would be a social atmosphere during the tourist season. Very good WiFi.
