The bed and pillows are very uncomfortable, breakfast was excellent specially for south Asians, but there is short of space due to lots of guests, they should modify the restaurant because I feel the arrangement is not proper

this was our second stay at this hotel & just before we were to check in some friends told us about the horrible room experience they had & how we should change our hotel. since our first visit was great I wasn't sure if this feedback was good for the entire hotel or just an unfortunate experience they had so I decided to call the hotel & speak to them & share my concerns. the lady at the customer service desk heard me out & reassured me that there was no cause for concern & told me someone would call me back during regular office hours the next day to clarify any doubts. this did not happen so negative feedback on this. however, I sent them an email listing out all the rooms that were part of the group & soon enough I got a reply reassuring me of the impeccable taj service as always. upon check in they had upgraded all our rooms to the next category & they specifically assured us that we would go back carrying forward the same experience as we did the first time & that is exactly what happened. super stay & full marks to the Taj Colombo team, especially Niluka who made our stay superb.

I’ve stayed in many Taj properties over the years and there’s a reason I keep coming back. The team at Taj Samudra were always attentive and on point during my stay. No matter the late arrival hour (past midnight), or looking for a restaurant, they were always ready to assist. The property is starting to show its age, but this is beyond staff control. I’d encourage the owners to spend a little to spruce up the property a little especially as it has such a beautiful frontage to the sea! Thank you, Taj Samudra team, for a wonderful experience.

Ocean view Deluxe room on top floor smells musty, bugs flying in the room. Bathroom and toilet have glass door so there is no privacy if two people are traveling together. We asked our room to be changed, manager tried his best to delay changing the room, made us wait 4 hours. Eventually we were changed to a city view Jr suite room, which fixed some of the above mentioned issues. Even this room is run down, bathroom door is crooked & barely closes, mini bar is not stocked, no after hour coffee in the business center, strong smoke smell is the hallway when we booked non-smoking room. Being an Indian American, I wanted this hotel to be good (since it's an Indian luxury hotel chain). Sadly It's an overpriced, run down hotel and no attention is being paid to hotel maintenance and customer comfort. I wouldn't recommend this hotel at this price point.

Excellent short break with my wife . As a regular to Taj properties in India , there is a standard of quality of service and property which is maintained across properties how ever old that property may be . Loved their Japanese restaurant and Navarathna was serving excellent Indian food . Overall very satisfying . 👍

Taj Samudra had incredible hospitality and really elevated rooms. The fact they have reusable bottle program shows that they care for the environment and want to be sustainable. Also it’s right across the water, so you can do a quick walk by the sea any time. The buffet food was good, not exceptional especially the vegetarian options were mediocre at best. Although the stand alone restaurant Navratna had smashing food.

Stay at the hotel was comfortable, clean, and carefree. The staff service was great, the food options were amazing. For someone looking to understand how far the oceanfront rooms were from the ocean, please know that there were other buildings and a road in front; the pictures on the hotel website are taken from a different angle.

usually taj hotels "wow" us. but probably due to srilanka's economic condition, taj decided not to keep the hotel immaculate. Plus, there were kids running around in the club lounge, screaming, every evening. I know that in other hotels as well as taj properties, kids have an age restrictions. Here, even maids for the kids were present as well.

The hotel looks opulent on the ground floor. The pool, gym and breakfast are top notch. The food in the Indian restaurant was bland and the room was a bit dirty on check-in, especially the bathroom floor. Rooms are a bit shabby but come with plenty of free water.

Elegant architecture, wonderful breakfast buffet, clean, and very good service. I also felt very safe, there were staff members everywhere checking in and making sure all my needs were met. The only downside is that to get to the pool / gym / steam room, you have to go through the gorgeous lobby that is usually filled with well dressed people there for some fancy event... so it's rather uncomfortable to walk through in a robe or cover-up... there should be some sort of keyed entrance straight from the rooms.

Lovely hotel, friendly staff but service can be a little slow at times. The breakfast buffet is a little limited and could do with being more varied to cater for all dietary needs.
