Very fast check in process, luggage was taken up very quick, They upgraded the room for us thanks. Bed was comfortable, room was big and spacious very nice. The staff were very good.
The room service took and very long time and the Japanese restaurant also took a very long time to bring our food. We travelled from Maldives right after work so we were very hungry, and it took a good 1 hour and 15 mins to bring our food. Also would be good to have another way to the pool, as this hotel is rather big there are alot of events taking place and we have to walk in our swimwear through people to get to the pool.

Dilshani Balangodage was a fantastic representative for the hotel. Her customer service was exceptional, as was the entire hotel experience. The atmosphere and surroundings are like no other hotel in Colombo. Special mention also for the fantastic food
Wish we could have stayed for longer

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

Rooms were very comfortable. Food was delicious. Travel desk did a wonderful job and handled our tours very well. Overall a good hotel to stay.
Room service and cleaning where we had to ask for towels. Being a five star hotel we expected a bit more of such service.

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”

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.
Looking tired & in need of an upgrade. No compendium in the room so had to wander around & guess what the facilities were & weren’t informed on checkin what was available at the hotel.

Breakfast yummy with lots of variety, rooms spacious and great mattress. Hubby said pool was great and staff professional and friendly. Hotel spotless! Casual meeting lobby area had nice cakes with afternoon tea (extra cost). Lounge was great for reading newspaper in quiet setting and perfect for pre drinks with our local friends who we were able to invite. His drinks were extra but this is fair and usual Lounge policy.
The Lounge doesn’t offer snacks/light meals during the day which seemed to surprise many guests paying for the lounge access privilege and very unusual.

Room was fabulous.... and so was the view from the 6th floor
Nothing really. As I was returning after about 2 weeks everything was s expected which was excellent. I enjoyed the welcome I received at the Club. Both in the evening and also for a quick breakfast before I traveled to the airport.
