Taj Samudra hotel colombo Review

Tired hotel, food quality and variety found wanting!

Beautiful hotel & Nice Location Close by Galle face Beach

Recently refurbished. Looks elegant. Service is fairly ok. Food at all restaurants was good.

Bang opposite to the sea. Suite rooms are great . View to downtown Colombo is plus too.

Had a wonderful time at Taj Samudra. Room was spacious having a spectacular view of sea. Food was delicious too. Staff was very friendly and special thank goes to Mr Charitha Bandara and other restaurant managers Mr Sumedha and Mr Ranaraja & POC team for the immense support given us. Hoping to visit in future too.

Great ambience perfect place for a family vacation and nice hospitality

Went for breakfast feast at 4am milk rice mutton curry and bacon were priceless

It's ok.. no proper Wi-Fi. They should have that for the guests.

Excellent spread. There was Indian Japanease and western food. Nice staff.

Last evening of my daughters visit to SL and decided to have a leaving dinner there. Very disappointed as some of the dishes were not fresh and others not presented as stated in the menu. Certainly left feeling disappointed as we couldnt eat four of the dishes we ordered.

Besides the price of the food its one of the best hotels in Colombo

Taj Samudra is one of the beautiful hotel in Sri Lanka facing historic Galle Face Green conveniently located in business hub of Colombo city.

Grea. We had a lunch at this place. Good customer service...

Good ambience, excellent cuisine, courteous staff and overall a heritage feeling

Beautifully located at Galle face road. One of the prominent locations at Colombo. The hotel itself is class with a great variety of services that are very logically and pragmatically set out. The breakfast buffet is as good as they come. It has three resraraunt s that (seperately) serve Japanese and India cuisine. The hotel gym has got a required number of machines and is prominent places in front of the pool. The gym also houses the spa area so you have your choices on how to wind down. A standard room will set you back by inr 14000, a meal at the India restaurant (navrathna) about inr 4500 and a spa session would cost around inr 3000 to 4500. Needless to say - if you have the cash - can't get much better than the Taj at Colombo.

One of the recognised names in hotel industry in Sri Lanka

One of the best properties of Taj in Colombo. It's service, cuisine quality and upkeep is second to none.

Except for the ambiance and architecture.... Food is 2/5 need to improve on quality and taste...

Now the building is hard to find since shangrilla and other buildings are covering this hotel

Excellent food, very good looking banquet hall, very good service

Fantastic. Sunday brunch was excellent. And excellent service. Also they have taken all safety measures. Varieties of food. Spent good time and enjoyed.

Set across from the Laccadive Sea, this upscale hotel sprawls across 4.5 hectares of lush gardens. It s 2 km from Gangaramaya Temple and 5 km from the Port of Colombo.

Sophisticated rooms feature wood floors and balconies with city or ocean views. They have free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs and minibars, plus tea and coffeemaking facilities. Suites add living rooms and/or dining rooms. There s 24-hour room service.

Breakfast is free. There are 3 fine dining options (Chinese, Indian and Japanese), plus a hip coffee shop and 2 elegant lounges. Other amenities include an outdoor pool and tennis courts, plus a fitness centre and a business centre.

Nice cozy place which you can have dinner with your loved ones. The environment and menu items are good.

Amazing Experience. Our server Lasantha and his team provided an amazing service. Highly recommend a visit if you ll are in town and looking for some Indian cuisine.

Didn't stay in the hotel. But had breakfast, lunch, dinner, including two get together and attended a meeting also. Wide variety of food in the buffet. Good ambience. Courteous staff

Best hotel of Colombo. Great hospitality most comfortable stay. We stayed for three days and had best experience. Food is awesome. Staff is very cooperative and best dressed.

Excellent service by Ms.Malar , who is working in Taj Samudra @ Colombo, restaurant , we had an amazing experience in this place. She is very capable of preparing south Indian food. She is an asset for Taj Samudra. I wish her all the best and keep doing good service. Thanks & Best Wishes to Ms.Malar & Taj Samudra.

The Taj groups live up to their name with this one. The hotel is luxurious and located right near the beach. The rooms are amazing, service is amazing and the food is usual. Nothing major can go wrong with the Taj groups. They have an Indian restaurant too. The breakfast also has a huge spread including Indian, continental, fresh juices etc etc. And the customer service is just amazing. Do try the pool and jacuzzi.

Serves a good buffet at The Latitude. Their Indian dishes/selections standout from the others.

Best location. ...but not up to the mark the name TAJ

This is a luxury hotel in Galle Face. From the other side of the road, it is a very good place to see the sunset. The service was very good. This time it was a king bed room but it was beautiful. There were times when hot water was not night. You can drink high tea at the restaurant here. It takes more than 430 minutes as it is made by ordering at 15 o'clock, but it is delicious and you should try it.

I have been to the Samudra ballroom which is on the top floor and that's mostly about my experience here. Food and desserts were okay nothing to be blown away and nothing to complain about. Overall I would say it was a good experience.

Absolutely gorgeous property and maintained soooo well by some really courteous and awesome staff! Defines Tajness to the T and is one of the best options to stay in Colombo!! One side overlooks the ocean and the other, the city skyline - the property has huge spacious rooms and beautiful views from all. Stone throw away from the beach front, it has some of the best views of the open ocean! Their staff Andrea and Jayamini were super courteous in particular and ensured our stay was something to make the Sri Lankan vacation extra special!!

Taj Samudra is right across the beach and is the most convenient place to stay in Colombo. It feels like a resort although you are in a large city. There are a lot of kite sellers on the beach and Kids will love flying kites on the beach. The food at Taj Samudra is great, the Indian Cuisine served by the restaurant is quite authentic and tasty. Taj is quite close to all the attractions in Colombo.

There is ever present military guard on the beach which is a bit of dampener but that cant be helped in SriLanka. The only downside is the level of maintenance of common areas. But I visited almost 5 years ago, so it may have been improved as Taj has a great reputation for impeccable maintenance.

One of the best hotels in Sri Lanka. You just get lost with the beauty of it. Everything, even a small details about Taj samudra is marvelous. We were staying in room which was beach facing. The view can't get any better. The service provided is just phenomenal. You won't feel like leaving the hotel and roam any other places around.

Great place for staying and easy access to parking recommended

Good buffet and happy time with bunch of my friends

Good service from the staff. The rooms were a bit dusty and dated

Very courteous staff and great rooms and service. They have taken into account every detail you would need while you are travelling

A prestigious star class hotel that has a long history of being among the best hotels in Sri Lanka. It has 5 main restaurants that caters to both local and international taste buds with high levels of food safely and quality standards. The state of the art business center is well known for most of the corporate to host their official events. They also have a few types of rooms overlooking the Indian Ocean and Colombo city. Staff is professional, well trained, and provides a commendable service. A recommendable place for both business or pleasure.

Good place but there are others better ..visited the dragon Chinese restaurant..bad service serving cold food that also after waiting for more than a hour ..not the way a 5 star should be serving considering the amount of money they charge ..would not recommend.

An old Taj with 2 wings, old & new. Nothing for Indians to be proud of, as the old wing where generally we as Indians are occupy. Old wing has problems of all services like AC & Bathrooms, being renovated at present.
Situated at a very good location since it's an old Taj property. New wing is comfortable & worth the 3 stars.

Went there for a rooftop wedding... The hall was well kept and the food was very good. The view from the roof top was the Galle face, bare lake, the church and Port city. It was well worth it.

The hotel is mostly populated with clients from India.

The valet parking was also a good and fast service.

Best hotel for conduct events

Perfect serivce delivery

The position of this hotel in fantastic specially sea facing rooms. And the other ambience is also up to the mark. Food quality is good but need to improve the variety.

Nice city hotel. The staff was okay. Food is really good and have a nice view of the galleface green and the sea.
