Capital Trincomalee

The place, attention, and staff were excellent. I will definitely come back.

The location was great - 3 minutes walk to the beach. All the staff members were so lovely and welcoming. Pula was very helpful and made sure we had a great stay. One night we had dinner and drinks at the restaurant with friends who joined us there, and the staff even went that extra mile to make the most incredible fish cutlets (which were not even on the menu) and garlic prawns. The food and drink was exceptional.

L’emplacement est magique et le personnel est très sympa ! Propre et confortable !

Top Lage nur 100 m zum Hauptstrand mit Hauptstrandbar, sehr sauber, sehr nettes und bemühtes Personal, neben dem guten Hotel gleichzeitig sehr gutes und gepflegtes Restaurant (im Vergleich zu anderen Restaurants viel hochwertiger und schöner), Restaurant mit sehr gute Qualität und vor allem sehr schöner Atmosphäre am Abend.

Struttura accogliente, in ottima posizione a Uppuveli. Camera pulita. I ragazzi che ci lavorano sono super disponibili e super simpatici. Abbiamo fatto colazione due volte (non era inclusa nel prezzo) e cenato una volta. Pasti ottimi

Die Lage ist sehr nah bei einem Strand und direkt gegenüber einem kleinen netten Touristenmarktplatz mit verschiedenen hochwertigen Essensbuden und gemütlichen Sitzgelegenheiten - nach unserem Geschmack Bestlage. Bett und Sauberkeit entsprach dem allgemein sehr gut erlebten Standard in Sri Lanka, also top und mit weißer Bettwäsche. Es gab einen Kleiderschrank, den wir bei unserer 1 Nacht nicht benötigen. Das Design ist frisch und freundlich. Die Dusche hatte einen modernen Heißwasserbereiter und Duschkopf. Es gab eine flexible Steckdosenleiste auch für unsere EU-Stecker ohne zusätzlichen Adapter. Auf Anfrage gab es hervorragend kuschelige große Strandhandtücher. Falls ihr auch keine Seife habt, einfach danach fragen. Es gab einen Willkommensdrink auf unseren besonderen Wunsch sogar ohne Zucker. Nebenan ist Café/Restaurant.

Der Raum war auch tagsüber ohne Tageslicht, da das Fenster ein geschlossenes Rollo aus schwerem Holz hatte, dass ich nicht öffnen konnte. Darunter hätte sich aber auch kein Sichtschutz befunden, weshalb wir nicht fragten. Also nutzten wir Lampen. Die Duschapparatur befand sich direkt gegenüber der Toilette. Um Duschen zu können, nahmen wir die Toilettenpapierrolle ab und wischten die nasse Toilette und den Boden des Badezimmers mit einem Strandhandtuch trocken. Das andere Strandhandtuch nutzten wir als Badezimmerteppich. Es gab weder, Kühlschrank noch Heißwasserbereiter für Kaffee oder Wasserflaschen. Die Geräusche erlebten wir Abends durch Musik des direkt gegenüberliegenden Restaurants laut und Morgens ab ca 5 Uhr durch Gebimmel der fahrenden Essenswagen, das gegen 6:30 besser wurde. Allerdings sind wir sehr geräuschempfindlich und gehen früh schlafen - manch anderen mag es nicht stören. Es war das schlechteste Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, welches wir auf unserer Rundreise mit 12 Unterkünften erlebt haben.

Le restaurant est délicieux, lieu très chouette au centre de Uppulaveli, chambres simples et confortables. Personnel sympathique même si un peu plus d’anglais ne serait pas de refus :)

Je ne recommande pas cet établissement pour les personnes qui ont un sommeil léger. Musique sur la plage jusqu’à tard dans la nuit. Mon compagnon a lui tres bien dormi.

Er liggen vier kamers achter het restaurant. Onze kamer was eenvoudig, maar comfortabel. Het personeel is ontzettend gastvrij en het restaurant is echt een aanrader. We hebben genoten van het heerlijke, uitgebreide ontbijt en ook 's avonds hebben we er uitstekend gegeten. Het strand ligt bovendien aan de overkant van de straat.

Houd er wel rekening mee dat de muziek in het restaurant 's avonds tot laat aanstaat en in de kamer hoorbaar is. Als je daar geen bezwaar tegen hebt, is dit een fijne plek om te verblijven.

It was in a good location close to the beach

It felt like a few rooms tacked onto the back of a restaurant as opposed to a hotel with a restaurant. The showers were terrible and got the entire bathroom wet. The music from the restaurant was very loud and went on very late every night. It says they open for breakfast at 7am, but no one was ever there before 8am at the earliest. We stayed for 5 nights and they didn’t come clean or refresh the room/linen/towels/toilet paper once, or empty the bin. The hospitality wasn’t there eg we had to ask for the wifi, if they supplied beach towels etc. The restaurant was quite a bit more expensive than others, and that’s before adding the 10% service charge that most other restaurants did not have. No safe or mini fridge. No daily complimentary bottled water (unlike every other hotel in Sri Lanka we’ve stayed in).

Konumu çok iyi. Denize yakın. Kahvaltısını ve çalışanları çok beğendik.

Duş ve tuvaleti beğenmedik. Ayrı bir duşakabin yoktu, duş alırken klozet su içinde kalıyordu. Havlu terlik vs gibi temel ihtiyaçları karşılamaz ayrıca çok da temiz değildi. Oda da çok fazla sivrisinek vardı.

מיקום מעולה ,ממש ליד חוף הים , ופרננדו מרקט.

מקלחת ושירותים פחות נוחים.

Clean, comfortable and great all round vibes. The staff are so friendly and it’s in a great location near the beach. Breakfast is also so yummy! Would recommend

המקום קטן וחמוד המכיל מספר חדרים בודדים מאחורי מסעדה קטנה ואותנטית. המיקום מצויין וקרוב מאוד לאתרי צלילה מצויינים וליד בר הפרננדוס. בעל המקום והצוות מאוד נחמדים ושירותיים ביותר. שווה את המחיר יחסית למקומות אחרים בטרינקומלי

שירותים והמקלחת הם אחד על השני, קצת לא נוח ומרגיש צפוף. בנוסף היה קצת רעש לעיתים בלילה בגלל שידורי המונדיאל שהיו.

Die Unterkunft liegt sehr zentral, 2 Gehminuten vom Strand entfernt und hat ein zauberhaftes Frühstück. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

It was the best accomodation in all Sri Lanka, we have had the best hosts ever!!! Everything is very clean it’s next to the see and all the restaurants. Also the food is amazing!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Notre coup de cœur du voyage! Nous avons été charmé par la chambre mais surtout par le propriétaire et sa femme qui sont bienveillants et vraiment adorables. Leur jus de pastèque est un délice et la petite boutique regorge de pépite! L’emplacement en face de la plage est vraiment super !

Nous aurions aimé rester plus longtemps!

The location is ideal as it’s right next to the beach, diving centers, and other restaurants/parties. There was a large parking space opposite the place too which was very convenient. Aside from the location, the staff members were very friendly and accommodating. The rooms were clean, place was cosy, and the food was exceptionally good - hats off to the chef!

The staff, food, location and space in general was a 10/10. The staff in particular were so pleasant, extremely warm and accommodating. Everything that came out of the kitchen was so delicious that whenever we tried something from anywhere else we were disappointed - ended up eating all our meals here and not a single one disappointed.

Capital was bijna aan het strand bij Fernando met leuke eettentjes en strandbedden. Relaxte sfeer. Het eten was buitengewoon goed bij Capital. Heerlijk ontbijt en geweldig diner. De kok deed ontzettend zijn best en bereidde exclusieve maaltijden. De verse tonijn smaakte geweldig. Strandlakens waren inbegrepen.

In het weekend was er een dj bij Fernando, die je in bed kon horen.

Insane value for money. The room was perfect, exceeded all expectations and was less than 100m from the beach ! The food was incredible and the staff were extremely helpful, friendly and went above and beyond to cater to all of our needs.

Really nice, spacious room behind a lovely little restaurant and only metres away from the beach and beach bar. Nice outdoor seating, delicious European style breakfast and helpful staff.

Squeaky clean rooms and a really calm, relaxing vibe throughout the place. The interior décor is simple and serene, making it a great spot to unwind. The food was delicious with generous portions, and the staff were amazingly friendly and genuinely hospitable. The location is excellent—right by Uppuweli Beach and just a short walk from the Fernandez Beach Market. Perfect if you're looking for a peaceful place to relax by the beach. What stood out the most was the value for money. Very fair pricing for what you get. Would definitely recommend staying here if you're visiting Uppuweli. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

One of the best hotels of our travels around Sri Lanka. The staff were AMAZING. The food was absolutely incredible. They room was very comfortable, and a great location just a short walk to the beach passing food and drink places. 10/10 would recommend.

Location was great - just minutes from a beautiful beach, and the staff are really friendly and helpful! After arriving early we were able to check in early and were given our first proper Sri Lankan tea :) The room was spotless and comfortable with a nice peaceful area to sit outside. I will definitely stay again on my next visit. Due to our visit being out of season the restaurant was closed -so we ate at JK food cafe, which was delicious :)

Wish our stay was longer :)

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful sea-style hotel. The location is perfect, just a short walk from the beach. Special thanks to the chef for the delicious food and to the staff for their friendly and attentive service. Everything made our stay relaxing and memorable.

Beautiful rooms, super clean and bright - loved the green doors and windows! The room smelt amazing and so clean. Garden around the property was lovely too, and the restaurant was incredible - the best food and so fresh and the chef kindly catered to our dietary requirements (Vegan and Vegetarian). The chef It’s directly opposite Fernando’s Bar / Market and the beach (literally 30 second walk) so such a good location.

It wasn’t a problem for us but as a heads up to other guests there’s no hot water. Fortunately it was extremely hot and the cold shower was welcomed! As it’s so close to other bars/beach/restaurant you can hear surrounding properties music, but that’s to be expected from such a central location.

Staff are genuinely lovely people, food at the adjoining cafe was sensational - cold beers, delicious meals. Aircon in the room was lovely and cold. Very clean. Excellent location in Uppuveli, just across from Fernando’s.

The shower facing directly over the toilet is deranged. It has a warm water flow rate of 1.5L/m which is roughly the equivalent of a watering can, and we had to google how to use the heating device because otherwise it’s just straight cold water. The walls are quite thin, so sound can be an issue if you’re an early sleeper (before 11pm). For a country with tea as its second largest export, should probably have a kettle.

We had a wonderful stay at the Capital Trincomlee. The location is just across the beach. The rooms were clean and comfortable. But the best part was the lovely and super nice staff who just went out of their way to make our stay convenient. Warm, welcoming people who made us feel really welcome! Also the breakfast was just amazing every morning! Would highly recommend!

Beautiful property and rooms- very clean and staff were lovely. Restaurant menu catered for foreign food but staff were very accommodating in providing Sri Lankan food which is what we wanted- can’t be beaten!

We had 2 rooms and one didn’t have hot water, and walls are very thin so quite noisy at night

Mein Aufenthalt im Capital war super! Im Zimmer gab es alles was man brauchte und ich fande es schön, dass jedem Zimmer ein Tier des Meeres gewidmet wurde 🪼 Die Dusche hatte sofort heißes Wasser 👍🏻 Man ist so nah am Meer, vielleicht 2 Minuten zu Fuß und das Restaurant was zur Unterkunft gehört, ist super. Kavi und seine Kollegen kochen ausgezeichnet und sind so lieb! Auch das Gastgeber-Paar ist unglaublich lieb und wir hatten eine sehr gute Zeit zusammen. Auf meinen Wunsch hin haben wir einen Tagesausflug nach Dambulla gemacht, wir haben immer gute Musik gehört und ich habe einen Whisky Sour bekommen 🍸 Sie waren so großzügig und haben mir bei allem geholfen, zum Beispiel einen Busplatz nach Colombo zu reservieren. Ich vermisse euch (und Lion 🐈) jetzt schon und werde wieder kommen! Ich kann jedem empfehlen, dort zu sein 🩷

Lediglich das Kissen fande ich unbequem, aber das ist Geschmacksache 🤗

This is indeed a hidden gem, with beautifully simple rooms and everything you could need for some time on this part of the coast. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff couldn't have been more welcoming. The mango smoothie bowl for breakfast was a work of art!

There wasn't anything they could have improved.

Alles was goed! We hadden een heel aangenaam verblijf. Het hotel ligt op slechts 1 minuut wandelen van het strand, wat echt ideaal was. Op het moment van ons verblijf waren wij de enige gasten, waardoor het er heerlijk rustig was. Het personeel was super vriendelijk en deed echt alles om het ons naar de zin te maken. In de buurt zijn er ook veel restaurants en verschillende mogelijkheden om je kledij te laten wassen, wat het extra gemakkelijk maakt tijdens je verblijf. Zeker een aanrader!

Het restaurant was tijdens ons verblijf nog niet open omdat ze nog volop de start van het nieuwe seizoen aan het voorbereiden waren. In de buurt zijn wel verschillende gelegenheden! Geen probleem dus en zeker te begrijpen! 😊

Great location, lovely beach decor vibe, great hot shower and friendly staff.

A kettle and a fridge would have been good as it was low season when we visited so restaurant wasn’t operating.

De locatie is top! Direct tegenover de populaire beachbar en foodmarket Fernando’s. Je hoeft alleen maar de straat over te steken en je staat op het strand! Het restaurant dat bij de accommodatie hoort is heerlijk, zowel voor ontbijt, lunch en diner. Het personeel is erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Er zaten bij aankomst muggen op onze kamer en we kregen direct een elektrische vliegenmepper, een klamboe en een anti-muggen-stekker. We hebben dankzij de hulp van het personeel geen één mug meer gezien op onze kamer. We hebben hier vier fijne nachten gehad.

Fernando’s is erg populair, ook voor de feestjes. Hierdoor is er wat geluidsoverlast. Met oordopjes is het te doen. De muziek stopte vaak tussen 11 uur ‘s avonds en 1 uur ‘s nachts, afhankelijk van de dag in de week. Het bed was voor ons wat aan de kleine kant.

We had an amazing stay here! We really loved the design and the overall vibe of the place – it feels stylish yet welcoming. The room was spacious, clean, and cozy, making it very comfortable. Another great aspect is the location, as it’s close to the beach, which made our stay even more enjoyable.

There was a party every night with loud music. It wasn’t a big issue for us, but if you are a sensitive sleeper, it might not be ideal.

Tolle Lage, sehr freundliches Personal und nett eingerichtet.

Die Gastgeber waren sehr nett. Allerdings war die Unterkunft relativ teuer, für das, was man bekommen hat. Es war alles sauber, aber es gab nur eine kalte Dusche. Außerdem ist die Dusche mitten im Raum ohne Duschwand oder Ähnliches, sodass das ganze Bad nach dem duschen überflutet war. Die Rollos mussten wir den ganzen Tag unten lassen, da uns sonst die Gäste aus dem Restaurant ins Zimmer schauen konnten. Den größten Abzug gibt es für das Frühstück. Für Übernachtungsgäste finde ich es viel zu teuer, da die Übernachtung an sich schon eine der teuersten auf unserer Reise war. Es wäre schön gewesen, wenn Übernachtungsgäste einen kleinen Rabatt bekommen hätten oder man gegen einen bestimmten Aufpreis Frühstück dazu buchen kann. Wir sind dann zum Frühstück ins Cafe eine Straße weiter, da gab es dieselben Speisen für die Hälfte des Preises.

La habitación es super bonita, cómoda y limpia. El personal muy atento y la ubicación es ideal porque tiene la playa al lado y está rodeado de restaurantes y tiendas.

Al estar en el centro se escucha absolutamente todo y la música está muy alta hasta tarde. Para mí no fue un problema pero mi marido no pudo dormir. También añadir que el baño es pequeño y cuando te duchas literal se moja todo, por el precio que pagas es un poco incómodo pero no un drama. Me gustaría hacer una recomendación personal y opcional: tener una pequeña nevera sería ideal.

Habitación básica pero tienes todo lo necesario y está muy limpio. El aire acondicionado funciona bien y la cama era cómoda. La comida del bar/restaurante es de lo mejor que hemos probado en el país, aunque el servicio es excesivamente lento (hay que ser paciente). El personal es muy amable y alegre, y se nota el buen rollo.

En la zona del restaurante suelen tener la música bastante alta hasta tarde, pero con unos tapones pudimos dormir bien.

Camera essenziale ma nuovissima e pulitissima . Staff super carino e sorridente. Lo spazio esterno della camera è un po’ sacrificato ma la comodità è la bontà del bar / ristorante annesso compensano . Davvero carino

La gentilezza dei ragazzi che gestiscono la struttura, il cibo buonissimo e la posizione a due passi dal mare!

Niente

The vibe of the place was adorable! Food for breakfast is also recommended and a cute store for shopping with amazing fabrics

It took about an hour to get our breakfast

Camera vicina alla spiaggia e dotata di tutti i sevizi; ottimo il ristorante (abbiamo cenato e pranzato lì e tutti i piatti sono stati eseguiti a regola d’arte). Staff molto gentile e cortese (anche nel welcome al nostro arrivo), pronto ad aiutarti se necessario.

Niente, forse un armadio in stanza sarebbe stato utile.

La posizione perfetta, davanti al mare. Gestita da ragazzi giovani gentilissimi. Colazione buonissima

Eine der besten Unterkünfte auf unserer Reise. Simpel und sauber. Alles was man braucht. Die Lage ist perfekt - nah am Strand und am Geschehen. Vor allem abends. Das Essen ist auch sehr lecker, wir sind dafür auch ohne Buchung immer wieder gekommen. Wenn ihr euch einen Gefallen tun wollt: probiert den Schoko-Brownie!! Wir würden hier immer wieder herkommen, tolle Unterkunft, tolles Personal, super Essen!

Nichts

We were surprised as there was jo hot water in the shower but it wasn’t cold when you use it

One of the best hotels we have been, thanks Capital people you are the best!

Staff were great! The rooms were basic but clean. Location was perfect! Great restaurant, we recommend the Homemade Brownie and Ice Cream!

No hot water. It was noisey at night from the restaurant playing their music. A shelf or hanging space would have been good in the rooms.

Spacious room with AC, fantastic location, and the friendliest staff! We spoke to everyone who worked there and even made friends with Lion (the cat), and they truly made our stay memorable. At one point we struggled getting cash out, and the owners took us into the city without second thought to help us. Fabulous food and drink too. Couldn’t recommend this place more!

The location is amazing! It couldn t be better! Very close to the beach and very close to the gratest beach bar!! The room was clean, with all you need. The owner was very helpful, he helped us with all our requests, also, we received a free lunch with local food. The breakfast is very good, try Avocado toast! We highly recommend it and we will return for sure!

To be improved: hoț water at the shower, but this is because i M not used to wash myself with cold water( my husband was ok:)))

Amazing location just off the uppuveli beach near fernandos bar. Rooms were super clean and lovely place to stay. Very good value for money as well - highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to stay in Uppuveli.

Only thing is the music was a bit loud in the evening when I was trying to sleep. Maybe this could’ve been quieter after 11pm

In very close proximity to the beach, the owner & the staff are really helpful & the food is top notch.. blindly go for it

The rooms were clean and big. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. Everyday they worked hard to make sure our stay was fantastic. You aren’t going to find a better location as this is right in the middle of lots of restaurants with beach access right across the street. Would stay here again with no hesitation. A/C, WiFi, friendly staff, comfortable beds, great location. Loved it!

property was cozy and lofi calm place the best thing is beach is near to the place, the staff was friendly and helpful. Nights are seems different cuz of the ambiance colors and light system, The food was amazing an in the extremely rush hour also the staff maintained the service, timing, and special smile on their face with friendly manner, The beverages also very very tasty and my favorite was “ Local Kella “ cocktail the story behind the cocktail was so hilarious

the every little thing, they showing hospitality, kind, peace and love so basically I like the property, people and Sri Lankan Hospitality

I had a really good time at the capital the room are clean good air conditioning the stuff is very friendly value for money

The location is perfect - very close to the beach and restorants, helpful staff, strong wi-fi - very convinient for the remote work.

It would be nice to set up some extra hangers or shelves, also there was jus one plug. But the most negative moment were the repair works the restoran. This kind of things should be anounsed in advance, one of the reason to chouse this place were the good reviews concerning the cafe, but in fact it was in renovacion. There were no pleasure to sit on the terrace due to smell and noise during the day. The discount was given after insisting only.

Super close to the beach. Just a brisk walk across the road. Boat was super lovely and there to help you with whatever you need.

Neat and clean room. stayed there for 3 days and it was awesome. would love to come again. thanks Suresh!

We stayed in several hotels on the island. And the best impression was left by this hotel. It is not big at all, but very cozy. There are good towels (it turns out that other hotels have problems with the quality of towels). There is hot water. And the rooms themselves are clean. Two hooligan cats live on the territory))))) As for the music, it is not loud and plays only until 10 p.m. The hotel also has a cafe with a chef who deserves a Michelin star 🫶. In the hotel and the cafe are done with style and very nice. Next time we will definitely come back here

Our vacation was too short

The rooms are just a few steps from Uppuveli’s beach and the main bars and restaurant. Rooms are spacious and new. The staff is very friendly and available, they will give you the best suggestion to enjoy the area. The restaurant has amazing food, from breakfast to dinner, we loved every meal we had there.

Location was perfect - just minutes from the beach, and the staff were lovely! The room was spacious and comfortable. The accommodation had a lovely 'chilled out' vibe, and the food was delicious (although I only ate there once) - good value too. They also gave me a complimentary breakfast smoothie on the morning of my departure, which was a lovely gesture!

There was nothing I really didn't like but the electricity was a bit glitchy, therefore no lights or air con when that happened. May have been the weather, and they worked hard to fix the supply. The shower was luke warm at best (although the weather was very hot, so that was bearable!) A kettle in the room would have been nice, although I appreciate that not everyone wants that, and staff were very happy to give me a mug of hot water for my teabag every morning! Thank you 😊

The location is really good just in front of the beach. The rooms are clean.

Very noisy, it was hard to sleep at night. No hot water in the shower and very low pressure. I think is too expensive for what they offer.

It is situated very close to the beach and a lot of restaurants. Capital even has their own restaurant. The staff, especially the owner Suresh, were very accommodating even before we arrive. They helped us book the tours as well. I also love their resident kittens: Lion and Bagheera!

I had a really good time at the Capital. The rooms are clean, large and modern with good air conditioning. The owners are extremely friendly and funny and you can have a great time with them. The Capital also has a great bar with delicious food and drinks and is only 2-3 minutes from the beach.

Nothing

Amazing place to stay! Spaceous and very clean rooms, just 50 m away from the most beautiful beach here around! Lovely and generous people which are taking care of all your needs and desires! The food in their restaurant is prepared with lots of love and you can taste it! Highly reccomend it!
