Alass Ga For Pets Lovers features a hot tub and free private parking, and is within a 6-minute walk of Uppuveli beach and 2.5 miles of Kanniya Hot Springs.

The room Was simple but very clean and quiet with a large bathroom and good AC and wifi. The place is not luxurious but if you care about animal welfare you’ll be delighted to see how healthy and happy the cats (and a couple dogs) are being cared for. He’s doing really important work in a country where, unfortunately, cats and dogs are sadly neglected.

Providing a garden, Lobster Inn provides accommodations in Trincomalee. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking, and free Wifi. Guests can book fitness classes or yoga classes.

Amazing all around! I loved the property... the layout and all of the colorful murals and that every room had a place to sit outside of the room. The room itself was very spacious and clean. The fans were strong, although it was still a little warm in the evenings. The owner was amazing. He is such a great guy and very helpful. I booked the dolphin tour through him, which was a great price for value. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and will always stay at lobster Inn whenever I'm in the area

Just a 2-minute walk from St. Mary's Cathedral Trincomalee and 400 yards from Maritime and Naval History Museum, Javi Holiday Home features accommodations in Trincomalee, with a terrace.

We, a family of 5, came to stay for only 1 day at Javi Home but ended up staying 9 wonderful days!! The guest house is new so all facilities are clean. The beds are super comfortable. The AC works quietly and efficiently. There is a huge balcony/ lounge area outside of the bedroom where we spent a lot of time. There is a separate room for making tea and coffee. The owners are very very friendly!! We all enjoyed little Javi and his parents. Javi's mom speaks excellent English and we got to ask her a lot of questions about life and culture of Sri Lanka. She and her husband are one of the friendliest people we have met in Sri Lanka!!! The location is excellent. Very close to the amazing beach, grocery shops and good restaurants. Mallika Resort has a very good restaurant, where we ate often. The owners gladly helped us with directing and recommending places. The home is also very close to a Dutch Fort Frederick that had wild peacock and deer everywhere. You will NOT find anything that offers this great value for the cost. The place is VERY affordable. If we are ever back in Trinco we will gladly stay at Javi Holiday Home again! 😊

    I think this might be the best location in Trincomalee. The rooms are just in front of Sandy Bay Beach, a small beach perfect to swim and relax. You will see friendly fishermen collecting their nets, this was one of the top memories we have from Sri Lanka. The fort is 45 minute walking, but a short ride with tuk tuk. The family running the homestay is kind and helpful, and they prepare a very good sri lankan breakfast. We totally reccommend staying here.

    Hotel is more of a homestay. It is located just some 100 meters of the beach. It is not a very touristy beach, a lot of fishermen and stray dogs, but we liked this more local vibe, after a day we already knew the guys on the beach. The family, who runs the hotel, is trying to satisfy all your needs. The accomodation is basic (so is the price), but clean and in that way satisfief our expectations.

    Our room was extremely comfortable and well air-conned. Our lovely host was extremely accommodating and kind throughout our stay. He brought us tea whenever we asked as well as helped us arrange a snorkelling trip. We also loved the cats! There were many cats to play with, all extremely friendly and adorable. We wish the host all the best with rescuing more cats and dogs.

    The host and his family are super friendly and helpful. They allowed us to check in earlier than expected and provided us with a lovely cup of coffee on arrival. We really got the feel of a home stay. The back of the property enters right onto the beach. The beach where the property is situated is private and private. Perfect for relaxation after busy days. We stayed for 3 nights and it was perfect for this length.
