Situated in Trincomalee, 400 metres from Uppuveli beach, Nest Inn features accommodation with a shared lounge, free private parking and a restaurant.

When we arrived, we asked about hot water, and the owner explained that due to the local weather and piping, it wasn’t originally provided nor advertised online. However, the same day, he went out, bought, and installed a boiler and the shower we preferred, which exceeded all our expectations!!! The host, Babu, is extremely kind and prepares a solid breakfast to your liking. He also offered us free transport multiple times. They have two friendly dogs and a cat, adding to the charm. The accommodation is simple, like a hostel, but definitely a good option for staying especially for adventurous couples and backpackers. BTW local beach is totally close to the accommodation.

    Location was a winner, the room itself was very nicely designed, especially the bathroom, and the support we received, whenever we had a question or we needed something, was fantastic. This really was a perfect little place for a few nights and I would say it was really good value. It’s nicer in reallife

    The place is very close to the beach. (The description says the rooms have ocean view, but that's not the case) The men who is helping the owner is very friendly and willing to help with everything. We asked for extra pillows, towels and a garbage bin and all was arranged very fast. The restaurant is super nice; for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

    We loved the vibe of the hotel the lodge houses were lovely. Very rustic vibe with cool faucets in the bathrooms! The hosts were super helpful and organised a trip for us, made us feel very welcome and safe there. We had a lovely drink on arrival and were made to feel super special, the food was also amazing! It was only a few minutes from a beach and we did the pigeon island tour which was great we saw turtles and sharks, and a baby shark! Would highly recommend this hotel!

    A wonderful villa in Trincomalee with a pool and a very well maintained garden, only 10 minute drive from the Uppuveli beach. We stayed on the ground floor of the villa, the rooms were clean and comfortable, air conditioned, very good internet. The owner of the villa treated us with pizza dinner, which was a nice surprise. In general the communication with the owner was fluent.

    One of a kind! Food was a major highlight: best breakfast with many options, dinner by the beach was wonderful too. Beach is calm and completely empty apart from hotel (beach is not as nice as neighboring Nilaveli but is still great). Lush green and open-air spaces make it super nice. Most friendly and attentive service. Room was excellently designed, spacious and very comfortable. It’s a relatively large place but never feels crowded.

    This was such a lovely stay. One of the nicest places we have stayed in Sri Lanka! The room was comfortable and clean. The location is great! Right next to the beach. The man who owns the inn was very helpful and very friendly. He went out of his way to make sure we were ok.

    Absolutely one of the best guest houses I've been to since I'm in Sri Lanka. The location is perfect, few meters from the beach. Very quiet and lot of restaurants nearby. Rangan, the owner, is one of the kindest person I ever met and also a skilled chef. I really recommend to have dinner at the guest house and enjoy his cooking skills!
