Taj Samudra, Colombo

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!

Memorable stay at Taj Samudra. Got upgraded to a club level ocean view room on checking in. Room was spacious and was very comfortable. House keeping staff were wonderful. Breakfast was good with a lot of varieties to choose from. Location was great facing the lovely Arabian Sea. Situated very close to tourist areas including the Dutch hotel shopping precinct and One Galle face mall is walkable. Overall a memorable stay with the family.

Wonderful location of the hotel, grand property with large rooms.

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”

Staff were lovely...food was excellent
