Best Trincomalee Historic Hotels

3.0 star property
8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (67)
"Superb stay! The staff were friendly & helpful & the hotel has a relaxed feel that makes it hard to leave! The beach area is accessed via a short alleyway & if you ask at reception, they will put an umbrella up by the sun loungers for you. The only thing that can be improved is the Wi-fi connection inside the room. "
