Taj Samudra

Amazing luxurious interior but the location is the best (alongside Galle Face hotel). Taj is BETTER located than the ITC hotel and especially Shangri-la but I really like about Taj is that they have created greenery within the hotel grounds making it quieter and more secluded too. This is great for a genuinely exclusive feel! Room and the large bathroom are amazing with their luxurious, interior fittings and great customer check out service provided by Anjalee who suggested that I could keep my baggage while I walked around Galle Face Green for a couple of hours before recollecting my belongings to finally go. Superb at the value price I paid! I'd like to go back and highly recommend this hotel and Galle Face hotel are chosen over the Shangri-la as Taj is much nicer, nicer grounds including parking and far better value than Shangri-la!

Club room overlooking Galle Face Green with business club room-continental breakfast served, all day coffee & tea & evening drinks & snacks. Large room with large desk & lounge, cool, dark bedroom with excellent bedding. Lush bathroom with great bath. Fabulous breakfast served in the downstairs restaurant. Very helpful staff & particularly the concierge. Walk to many of the sites. Large pool & good sunlounges. Very late flight & no problems getting a late checkout (4pm) but maybe because we were lucky to be there on a quiet week.

Excellent standard of quality throughout the hotel. Service and staff are exceptional and a good range of restaurants on offer. The main lobby is very inviting and the bar area in the lobby is very comfortable and relaxing.

The experience of stay in this hotel was just absolutely amazing! Everything was just so organised and systematic that it almost felt like more than a five star hotel. Here are some things that I really liked about my stay : 1) right from the entrance of the hotel to my room everything was extremely clean and the atmosphere smelled really pleasant. 2) another thing that I really liked was how the room service read and understood the way I was staying, they read which pillows I preferred so the next time I enter the room the pillow was exactly where I like it kept and the one that I use for sleeping. 3) the staff was really approachable and friendly. I didn’t meet even one staff member who spoke with me without smiling. 4) any requests that I made in the room was immediately attended to without me waiting for even five minutes. In the end, I would really recommend staying staying at this hotel because as the thing goes “Taj always delivers”

Great property. Staff were very attentive and friendly. In particular I would like to call out Chef Senthil who went out of his way to help us withway to some local purchases of Hopper Pots from the local market! The idlis and South Indian food we had here were probably better than the ones we get in India. Outstanding buffet and food. We loved the free upgrade they offered to the taj club room which was amazing
