Great property and wonderful folk at the TAJ. Always willing to help and ensure a very comfortable stay for its guest. Though the hotel is 40 years plus, it’s well maintained, oven view and beautiful gardens .
We love staying at the Taj. Great hotel and staff. They are genuinely concerned for the guest comfort and safety. The staff is proficient in what they do, great management and the food at the Taj is fantastic. We have completed 12 days living at the Taj.
we had an amazing time in Taj Samudra Colombo. Staff was very courteous and generous.
Special thanks to Ms. Berni for making special arrangements to make our last day in Srilanka even more special and memorable. As always Taj exceeds our expectations of excellence.
Kudos to the entire staff and management who are serving their guests sinces ages.
Very good location! Room great! Breakfast and dinner can definitely been improved. Dinner buffet offers very authentic Sri Lankan food. Restaurant itself needs some makeover.
We stayed for two nights.
ALL of the staff are BRILLIANT and looked after us really well.
The room was spacious and the rain-shower incredible… probably the best I’ve had.
The on-site Indian restaurant was excellent as was breakfast.
Easy to walk around the area and just 5 minutes to Park Street for loads of good dining options.
Wholeheartedly recommend Taj Samudra.
Thank you.
Our stay at TAJ was excellent with great welcome and customer service byMiss Dilshani giving us all more then expected.
Aslo Rooms were well serviced and given services required by staff Miss Ranjani and the Manager. Restaurant staff where great with services. Looking forward to come back and enjoy more at other TAJ HOTELS when given this kind of services.
This hotel is not what it used to be. One of the rooms was not available at 6:30 pm and was given a lower price room with out any monies back. The other room was small and not what I expected. I've stayed at this hotel before, but I will not return.
The bed and pillows are very uncomfortable, breakfast was excellent specially for south Asians, but there is short of space due to lots of guests, they should modify the restaurant because I feel the arrangement is not proper
