“Overall, a good stay in a great location with helpful staff.”

The staff were accommodating and let us check in at 4am, which was a big help. The location was excellent — close to the beach and within easy walking distance to the town & Uppuveli Beach

I really liked it here. It is off the main road, so it is nice and quiet. It is fairly new so the rooms were in a good condition with lots of space. The staff were really friendly and helpful too. It is good value.

Comfy bed (top floor was the best within the hotel) as I saw a couple of rooms on the different levels. Had a nice sleep here.

“beach stay in Sri Lanka”

The hotel was near the beach. When we arrived the air condition not working, we told the receptionist. After twenty minutes came service and repaired it. they had beer for us after long way to hotel.

“Great location and a comfortable stay.”

The manager was attentive and helpful, it was the cheapest hotel room in Trincomalee area that had air con. There was somewhere to sit on a peaceful balcony which was a lovely open space, there was blankets available for the room if you wanted them, ask at reception. The location was great, it was approximately 10 minutes walk to Uppuveli Beach which was calm and clean to swim in. The bars across the beach vary in price, we went with the first one you come to at the end of the road to the beach, you will walk through a archway to get to it.(blue sand beach resort) This road is on the left, on the opposite side of the road as you get to the main road, this was fair in pricing for a beach and you can use the loungers if you bought a drink. When you return from the beach Hotel Sun Blue have a outside tap to wash down your feet, which is a nice feature. The local attractions were all a short drive away and we ate twice at 4 Doner, where we had a delicious biryani, make sure to order the fried chicken one as they serve it with a delicious homemade curry sauce. We also visited W1 Cafe, which is on top of a hardware store, which seems random but it had the sweetest owners and they will help you find it when you walk past it if you do lose your way. The coffee shop is unfinished but serves a decent coffee made the western way with beans. Fort Frederick is also a great place to visit, cheap entry and is next to a free entry temple (Koneswaram)which you can see from the viewpoint that FF sits on, this was really interesting as you walk through a local market to get there with wild deer roaming around. When you arrive, you are met with a colourful entrance with a massive statue of Shiva, if you enter the temple around 1630, they do their Prayer rituals around 5, which smells divine and is beautiful to watch and experience. You could stay there longer than what we did which was a couple of nights however you can get all of the surrounding sites done within 2 days.

“Very good”

We had a very good experience staying in Trincomalee. The hotel is clean, comfortable, and in an excellent location. A special mention goes to the Hotel Manager, Mr. Raj, who was incredibly helpful and attentive. He went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, making our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Trincomalee!

Not far from a nice little area at the beach with plenty of restaurants. A/C worked well; shower was hot too (if needed - a cool shower is fine in hot weather). Friendly staff. Not too expensive.

Easy to find: 10 min walking (slowly) from the beach. Raj and Gea were very attentive and kind. Well recommended.

Raj was an amazing host.

“Fun and cheerful stay”

Our manager Raj did his utmost to make our stay enjoyable. The room was cool, squeaky clean and we slept like babies. Raj can assist you with scooter hire, transport, laundry and banter. If you go out for dinner try Rice and Curry, a Bob Marley inspired fresh seafood restaurant. Buy your fresh caught fish and they grill it up for you with some chips. Best dinner in Trinco by miles.

“Great stay in Trincomalee”

Really friendly owners, really great location, just a couple of minutes from the beach, all restaurants, ATM and small market. Great breakfast with fruit, bread, eggs, tea. Good clean room and restroom. Also WiFi and AC were really good.

Hotel Sun Blue in Trincomalee is a great choice for a stay in Uppuveli. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable, and the A/C works perfectly. The hosts are kind and attentive, and the location is ideal, just a short walk from the beach. Amenities are basic, but for the price, it's a perfect stay

“It was like being at home with your caring family. Thank you so much”

“Quiet hotel”

“Comfortable stay”

Comfiest bed I’ve had in Sri Lanka. Air con was a treat and the wardrobe & desk were handy

“Good location and very clean”

Amazing staff

Everything was just fine. Something should be already fixed in the room but this is not critical.

“Very comfy bed”

Great hotel! Very friendly and helpful staff. The bed was exceptionally comfy and the aircon was good. It’s in a good location, only a 5 minute walk to the beach, and close to local shops and restaurants.
