Good for a short stay, staff were friendly, location is also great but the property is very tired, definitely needs a big refresh, there was a big leak in my room coming from the ceiling fixtures that was extremely annoying. Overall a pleasant stay, but just a very tired and dated hotel
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Great location, attentive staff, and an excellent breakfast buffet with a variety of food and beverages. The property was well maintained, and our children especially enjoyed the pool and other amenities. The only minor drawbacks were that the rooms felt somewhat dated and that we had to follow up several times before the requested extra bed was delivered. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would certainly stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay at the Taj, having been here on a number of occasions. A slight hiccup when we first arrived was the only downside. Food is good, staff are friendly and it's a good location.

We had a wonderful stay at Taj Samudra Colombo. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was warm and welcoming. A special thank you to Fatima and Indunil, who served us at breakfast, as well as Dewmali and Chandana, for their exceptional service and genuine care. They made us feel more like personal guests than hotel guests, which made our stay truly memorable. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so enjoyable. We look forward to visiting again.

The first thing I noticed was the courteous and ready to help staff, Taj has large tree covered property with both ocean and city views. I used the buffets styled restaurant offering international food and with more Indian themed food choices. (not surpised there since Taj is an Indian hotel company and at my visit, majority of guest were Indians.
