The Mermaid Hostel is a simple, yet peaceful and comfortable solution for anyone willing to spend some relaxing days in Trincomalee.

I had a wonderful stay at this guest house. The street is calm and feels very safe, which made coming and going super comfortable. Inside, the atmosphere is just perfect — warm, welcoming, and full of life without ever being too much. The presence of the aunts and children creates a homely, vibrant energy that makes you feel instantly at ease. It’s a great place to relax, whether you're solo or with friends. The guest house is dog-friendly, and their two adorable dogs add to the warm, welcoming vibe. Losan also organized several great activities for us — snorkeling, diving, sunset outings with guests from a friendly guest house, and even some lovely apéros. It really helped create a fun and social atmosphere without ever feeling forced. I had both breakfast and dinner during my stay — everything was delicious! Special mention for the spicy biryani: full of flavor and absolutely satisfying. This place strikes the perfect balance between being alive and peaceful — ideal for anyone looking to recharge without feeling isolated. 100% recommend this place!

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.
