Fantastic
Pros:

Simple yet charming accommodation, it has everything you need for a comfortable night's stay, and the room is very cozy.

The breakfast is very complete; in fact, on my last day I had to leave very early, and they prepared a packed breakfast for me, which was a very thoughtful touch.

They also have all the necessary mosquito control measures in place and offer a menu where you can order lunch or dinner if needed. It's just a 5-minute walk from the beach. Highly recommended!

Pros:

Отличный свежий отель в тихой деревушке Нилавели. Персонал хороший, все вопросы решали быстро. Есть горячая вода и кондиционер. Красивая территория отеля. Однозначно стоит своих денег

Il soggiorno è stato piacevole, ho visto quello che mi interessava in città in un giorno e poi sono ripartito.
Pros:

La struttura è carina, la zona tranquilla e vicino alla spiaggia che purtroppo sarà per il fuori stagione era sporca e abbandonata a se stessa.

Cons:

La distanza da trincomalee città non è trascurabile. Mettere in conto che non sarà agevole fare più volte avanti e indietro

Pros:

Property is an easy 5 min walk from the beach, a few local restaurants in the neighbourhood offering traditional fare. Quite location that offers a local feel. Easy access to Pigeon Island and Angel Rock. Friendly helpful staff. The room was adequate. Air-conditioning worked very well. Nice little garden and verandah.

Un incubo
Cons:

Sporco, con scarafaggi e vermi. Abbiamo chiesto il rimborso il giorno dopo il nostro arrivo, ma hanno trattenuto 10€ per le spese di cancellazione. Spoiler: non hanno cancellato un bel niente, la prenotazione è rimasta attiva!

Alojamiento tranquilo y acogedor
Pros:

La atención de Sanas muy buena, nos hizo sentir como en casa. Podíamos tender todo lo mojado, en el jardín. Un lugar pequeño pero muy tranquilo. A 5 minutos de una playa con palmeras y relajada. Las habitaciones bien.

Cons:

El lavabo olía un poquito

Pros:

Personal amable, desayunos súper buenos, combinando comida occidental con nacional, está en un entorno muy bonito y a 3 minutos de la playa andando.

Cons:

La habitación no era muy grande y en especial el cuarto de baño, echamos en falta una simple percha para colgar la toalla o una baldita para poner el jabón. El precio fue algo elevado comparado con los alojamientos en Sri Lanka
