"Wir haben selten ein derart schlechtes Hotel erlebt. Die Zustände sind nicht nur veraltet, sondern schlichtweg unhygienisch, dreckig und gesundheitlich bedenklich. Ein Preis von über 100 € pro Nacht ist völlig absurd – selbst 20 € wären für diesen Zustand noch zu viel. Das Hotel ist maximal eine Notunterkunft!! Unser erster Eindruck war erschreckend. Wir reisten mit unserer Tochter an und bekamen zunächst ein Zimmer, das komplett verschimmelt war. Schimmel an den Wänden, verrostete Armaturen,...

"Excellent little place for Trincomalee. Five minutes walk to the beach front and plenty of shops and places to eat. Friendly staff and nice clean, comfortable rooms."

C Beyond Nilaveli

10/10 Excellent

"We had such an amazing time staying at CBeyond Nilaveli. The hotel has the most beautiful location on a virgin, pristine beach, and the food was excellent, especially breakfast and dinner. The Sri Lankan fish for two was the best fish we’ve ever tried. The service was always so kind and helpful. Such a paradise."

Havana Club Resort

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, but the bathroom was not. The room was not cleaned during the week except once on request. Hence, the bathroom had an unpleasant odor. The shower door could not be closed. The whole building needs an uplift. Looks old, and not as attractive as the other hotels. Pool was good and clean. Staff were very obliging and helpful. Nothing was too hard for them."

Amaranthe Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Amaranthe Bay is a super nice hotel, the rooms are very spacious, clean and well maintained. The location is great and the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. The guests relations executive, Sri Mayuran, was super nice, helpful and friendly, he made our stay that much better. Also, great thanks to the chef who cooked the fish we fished for us :) it was an awesome gesture."

Uppuveli Beach by DSK

8/10 Good

"I think not much items to select for the breakfast compared to other hotels, that's poor. I already told to the staff about that. , . and closing pool at 9pm is also not a good thing. we couldn't enjoy much . the staff is great, very helpful"
