Set 500 metres from Uppuveli beach, Nongu Home offers air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace. This recently renovated guest house is located 4 km from Kanniya Hot Springs and 5.2 km from Trincomalee Railway Station. The guest house has private entrance.

Beautiful room and amazing staff, very friendly and helpful (helped us organizing activities, exchanging money, arranging a taxi to Yala…). The location was extremely convenient, very close to the beach and to the delicious restaurants in the area. A 2 min walk to the main road to find a Tuk Tuk to anywhere. We had a great time, great value for money!

Located in Trincomalee, Paris Garden Resort features accommodation with a pool with a view. The air-conditioned accommodation is 300 metres from Uppuveli beach, and guests can benefit from private parking available on site and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is situated 4.3 km from Kanniya Hot Springs.

Trincomalee Railway Station is 5.7 km from the guest house, while Kali Kovil is 6.7 km from the property. The nearest airport is China Bay Airport, 10 km from Paris Garden Resort.

We'd only booked for two nights but extended to four as we needed to rest and relax. Our room was of a reasonable standard, but on occasions it smelt of sewage. The bathroom sink and the shower drain haven't got 'U' bends so the smell is not prevented from escaping into the room. Shame as everything else was good. The electric shower worked well with hot water. The air conditioner worked well but there was something wrong with the remote control as it was tempremental and didn't work well. We stuck it on 30c and used the fan instead. It would be nice to have tea and coffee making facilities in the room. However the main reason for our extended stay was the huge clean swimming pool which was brilliant. We had it mostly to ourselves as there are only six rooms and only five were let. Most people staying went out for most of the day leaving the pool to us. The water was warm too. My little thermometer read 33.4c. Overall a good place to stay lots of restaurants nearby and the beach is juat a stones throw away. The waste pipes just need 'U' bends to stop the smell.

    Akkis Hostel is a very chilled Place. I was there during the Off-Season, so it was very quiet. It’s close to the Beach, just a minute to walk. The Dorm was simple, but ok. I did not miss anything. They kindly prepared my Bed with a Mosquito Net.Akki and his Family are really nice and helpful. There are also nice little local Restaurants around.

    Behind the entrance gate is a beautiful peaceful garden, with pleasant comfortable rooms, and a very warm welcome from a lovely family. Theepan was a great host, genuinely friendly, helpful, and his Dad is a legend! Very interesting conversations, help with laundry, and to rent a scooter at a decent price. Well situated for exploring north and south of Trinco. Comfortable clean room, thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
