WiFi is good but not great in case you have to work.

Wow this is such a great hostel. The rooms are clean, with good aircon, and the facilities are great. Oriane was so helpful and made me feel right at home. It’s a small hostel with a very intimate vibe & is just the right amount of social, not a party hostel. It’s about 5 min walk from the beach and close to all the restaurants. We even had a family dinner which was amazing. Thank you C U hostel 💕

A small hostel with around 4 beds each in 2 rooms. But a very good one. Would definitely recommend staying there. The hosts are very responsive and they know the place very well.

"C U Hostel is a hidden gem in Trincomalee! 🌴 Despite Google suggesting Nilaveli Beach properties, I stumbled upon this hostel near Uppuveli Beach and was blown away by its lively ambiance! 🌟 The vibe here is infectious, and I felt right at home. 💕 Great value for money, too! 💸 What truly sets C U Hostel apart, however, is the exceptional service provided by the owner and staff. They're proactive, empathetic, and genuinely invested in ensuring guests have an amazing stay. 🤝 The rooms are perfect for a good night's sleep - I loved how pitch dark it was, allowing me to sleep soundly without any light disturbances. 😴💤 And, with a cafe in the works, this place is bound to become even more special! 🤤 Can't wait to see it reach its full potential. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a more authentic and lively experience in the area! 👍"

I liked everything!

This hostel is honestly amazing. The owner only opened a year ago but already the hostel is so so nice. The owner is so kind, chill and will help you with anything you need! Everyone that works there is super kind and tries to get to know you. One night we played the Sri Lankan board game and they taught me and my friends how to play. The hostel is always kept clean and is only 2 minutes walk from the beach so it’s literally the best location. The owner is building more stuff in the garden like a snack bar etc so it’s only going to get even better. The beds are comfortable, you have a plug and plenty of place to store your stuff, and you can choose between AC and fan dorms. I felt super at home here that I extended my stay twice! Thanks for everything :)))

Really chill hostel! Staff is super nice, and treats you like family/friends from the first moment. Made me feel very welcome. The hostel itself has a really chill hippy vibe, with nice outdoor spaces to hang out.

The hostel was welcoming, clean and had everything you could need and to top it off, it’s so close to the beach! The owner Dusi and Jacky who works there were both amazing. They couldn’t have done enough for everyone. It really felt like a little community there. Whilst I was there they had AC installed in one of the dorm rooms too which was a massive thumbs up from me! Dusi (the owner) can sort out all sorts of day trips too, me and a couple of others did a dolphin/snorkelling tour which was great! Thanks for a great week guys! :)

No AC in the room(they were fixing that when I was staying there)

The staff is incredible, they make you feel at home, humble and always ready to help.

I had a great time in Trinco, we had a nice little gang in the hostel. Basic but nice, fire in the garden, place to park your bike. I liked my stay here.

This is one of the best hostels I ever stayed at. Thushy & co are just the best and friendliest people ever and make you feel right at home here. The rooms are very clean and have everything you need, the garden is lovely, great breakfast and fun evening activities! I extended my stay multiple times ad can only recommend staying here!

Very close to the beach and some good spots for food. The hostel is clean and the team on site are really nice and super helpful if you ask them anything. Breakfast can be better, the room has 2 funs but it was still quite hot for me. Great value for money overall!

Had a great stay at C U Hostel! Location is perfect, so close to the beach where you may enjoy swimming, reading a book as well as find different options for food. The breakfast at hostel is also nice. Rooms are spatious enough, garden is really beautiful, dogs are to fall in love with and staff is great - informative, willing to help (all of them, but I'm specially thankful to Jackie, who is such a good man, with pure heart). All in all, very nice atmosphere, recommend staying there. PS. If you have chance, make an excursion to other villages and beaches from C U - the staff will help you with information and organizing transport.

Cheap, chill and friendly. So close to the beach too. And the staff is so friendly

This is the second time I return to this place after a wonderful experience I had with everyone. Everyone here is amazing, starting with Dosi, the hostel owner, and his French assistant, Auryan, along with Jackie and the rest of the team. Dosi’s mother is an incredibly kind lady who allowed me to use her kitchen with a generous heart. I highly recommend everyone to book Cu hostel

Sooooo difficult to leave.

Booked for 2 nights, stayed 13. I think nearly everyone I was with extended their stay. Thusy and his hardworking but laid-back, creative team made my stay really memorable. Jacky's breakfasts were delicious and he really took care of me. The people who came and went were unforgettable. The place is gorgeous, 1 min from the beach, lovely garden - and Thusy's projects will make it better and better. I was there 'off-season' and loved it all the more. Good Luck with Everything - and next time I'll come for a yoga retreat!

Everything is perfect

Let’s start with Dosi, his mother, jacky and everyone who works at this place. In short, they are amazing. The place is comfortable and has a beautiful garden with lovely dogs, especially the dog Pulpo. At night, everyone sits in the garden to eat, talk and joke around. The village is like a little paradise with its trees, beach, and residents. I recommend everyone to visit here for an amazing and unique experience.

Perfect place to stay close to Trinquemalay. Great location, very close to the beach (2min walking), close to goods restaurants. It is easy to reach Trinquemalay and Nilaveli by bike, bicycle or tuktuk. Room was clean, quite big, fully equipped with proper lockers and electrical outlets for each bed. And there is a nice garden. The owner is really nice and helpful. I recommend !!

A different variation of breakfast each day would be nice.

Very good location close to the beach. Really enjoyed family dinner and the staff were friendly.

The hosts were very friendly! They treated us more like friends than like guests and it was great. The beach is only a minute away.

Having to go :)

The guys there were just amazing, you instantly felt at home and comfortable. The hostel itself was clean and looked really nice and cozy. We had a warm welcome and had fun time as well as good conversation in the chill-corner right besides the house. The nights were really social there and we had some beer, music and a really nice time. The place invited to get to know each other and the owners. As they brought their friends it's also good to know some other locals.

Maybe some mosquito nets could be a good thing to install, but I didn’t had any issues sleeping
