I had a great stay here and would definitely come back whenever I'm in Trincomalee. The place was newly opened, I had spacious room, very clean and nice outside area to relax. The owner is a very friendly and helpful young lady. Thank you very much!

I loved this hostel. It had a cosy, family run vibe. Loshan was so friendly and we had a great time together. Great home cooking from his auntie which was a breath of fresh air after travelling and eating in restaurants every day. I would recommend this hostel for someone looking for a nice quiet place to chill while exploring Trincomalee. You won't be disappointed. Can't wait to visit again some day!

The staff is amazing. They are very nice and are always there if you need anything. The location is great as you can get to the beach by walking +/- 1 minute. The beach entrance close to the hostel is nice as it is very clean and there are some beach bars. There are also many places to eat around the hostel, so I don’t think the location can get any better. If you want to visit the temples, you can easily get a tuk tuk, which the staff will help you call if needed. I recommend staying here because you can easily go and refresh at the beach after your day trips. The hostel has a nice bonfire, which is great to spend some time at night talking to other people. Extra: The dogs in the hostel are very cute!

All hostels in Trincomalee

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great vibe and wonderful freindly staff. Great hostel with large dormitory rooms and fab air com and was spotless and well maintained. Cool garden chilling area and two minute walk from beach. Crocodile tour and sunset was awesome. Great value for money and highly recommend. Thanks to all the staff.
