Katharagama Hotels, Trincomalee

"Great location very close to the see. Terrible accomodation with extremely basic services and lots of insects and no mosquito nest or device to help"

"We loved every minute of our stay. The rooms are small but have everything you need to be comfortable and you are walking distance to the beach. The breakfast is lovely and so is the service and the AC in the room. We made friends on the patio and were comfortable throughout. "

"Fantastic retreat/stay, room and amenities were great. Rotating menu for dinner was a nice touch for guests staying more than 1-2 nights. add on trips were fun, but could have stayed in the room the whole time as well."

"Nice pools, beach, nearby restaurant along the beach"

"A perfect place for budget conscious travellers who want to laze on a beautiful beach and watch the fishermen haul in their nets each day. Clean clear water and white sand. Easy to organise a snorkeling trip too."

"Excellent beachside location, great service, good restaurants/bars, comfortable room."

"We were disappointed with our stay at Sea Way Hotel. The hotel has old facilities and was quite dirty. The staff, however, was friendly"

"We stayed two nights here and paid approx 20000 rupees per night via expedia. This was a very simple/budget hotel and did meet my expectations for what we paid. Missing a lot of the basic necessities including hot water, toiletries/toilet paper, no kettle in the room, no coat hangers. The location is good, walking distance to the beach and there is a nice garden outside the rooms. Breakfast was included and was decent."

"Terrible experience. Terrible customer care. The hotel was shut and they refused to refund me. We (my wife and my 4 year old child) arrived at the location and the gate was shut. The nice lady who was at the hotel (we were unable to speak to her in the local language) did not let us through the gate then called someone who told me that the hotel was under refurbishment hence shut. He actually suggested us to book an hotel nearby. I called the German number associated with the hotel and another...

"The Hotel is very nice and completely new. The host is really friendly and he can show you everything what you can do in Trincomalee."

"Amazing spot. Highly recommend. Far from stores but you don’t really need to go anywhere as the restaurant at the hotel is fantastic "

"Staff is hopeless - not unfriendly but unwilling to help. We were 4 people sharing an apparment, but we could only have 1 key to the door. The reception is not open 24/7 that why, we had major problems only having 1 key. After many and long discussions with the staff, we gave and survived 2 days with just one key. The restaurant is expensive and food is bad. The appartment is nive. Kitchen, 2 bedrooms with bathrooms and a nice livingroom. There were good moments, but we will never come back"
