This place is just amazing, the rooms are super comfortable, clean and beautiful. The whole place is full of good hearted people and dogs. Wini and her whole family are amazing and also the laundry service is just great, smells good and is clean. It was the best place we have been till now, the whole vibe is the right one and you feel heartily invited by this family. The location is super good and you are exactly at the place to be, the beach is very close, max 5. Minutes walking distance and all the bar and restaurants are there. You will just love this place, so be aware to book it already for more days because if not you will have to change the place without wanting. Happened to us 😅 but next time we already know where to go and where to stay. Looking forward to see you soon again Till then we wish you all the best Sarah and Kirin

The Mermaid Hostel is a simple, yet peaceful and comfortable solution for anyone willing to spend some relaxing days in Trincomalee. It is located in a strategic area, making it easy to reach the most beautiful beaches and the main bars / shops of the area. Special mention for Kokul, the manager, who was extremely kind and responsive to any request. He definitely made our stay more pleasant and unforgettable!

This place is simply fantastic. It is super clean, new, and the location (2 minutes to the beach and all nice restaurants next to it) is fantastic! The highlight is the host, she is the most friendliest ever, helps with anything, speaks multiple languages. There is also free coffee, tea, and she often comes around with yummy fruits! You can also get great meals for the best price ever!

We had an amazing stay here. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the vibe in the hostel is phenomenal. J and the staff are very friendly and you can always have a good laughter with them. They are offering a family dinner every evening which is very delicious and cheap. They also organized different tours for us for a fair price. We can only recommend staying here! Thanks for the amazing time, we will come back😊

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!

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.
