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.

Although it was a short stay, we truly had a wonderful and memorable experience at Taj Samudra. Every staff member, from the front desk to housekeeping, is consistently friendly and helpful, making us feel genuinely welcomed. The senior staff members were highly professional and very friendly all around. The food is great and location is also excellent with easy access to Colombo seaside. We’re already looking forward to our next visit.

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

The buffet was amazing and all the staff were simply delightful in their attention to my families needs.
