Presently surprised...
We had a wonderful stay at Taj Samudra Colombo. From the moment we arrived, the experience was excellent.
The check-in process was smooth and welcoming, with a special mention to Subash, who was incredibly helpful and made us feel very welcome from the beginning.
The hotel itself was lovely, and all the staff we interacted with were friendly, attentive and always willing to help. Nothing was too much trouble, and their service really added to our overall experience.
We had a great stay and thoroughly enjoyed our time at Taj Samudra Colombo. Thank you to Subash and the entire team for making our visit so enjoyable. We would happily stay here again on our next visit to Colombo.

Not up to Taj standards
This is my first time that I stayed at this property (Taj Samudra Colombo) for couple of nights as part of our corporate event with a very large group of colleagues.
Welcome and check-in could have been planned well considering the size of the group based on flights timings. Room was clean and spacious with amenities. Breakfast buffet was good with mix of continental and local options. Staff were very courteous and friendly. Special thanks to Yasiru for all the courtesies and great help during breakfast. Thanks to the gentleman (couldn’t remember his name) from laundry for quickly pressing few cloths for next day.
Now there are few areas for improvement.
- Asked for iron box and the box given had stains shockingly. Not expected at Taj.
- Food at dinner and lunch on all the days was very mediocre. We wondered if we were at Taj.
- WiFi was so so poor all the while and we were using hotspots of our roaming mobile connection.
Finally, it’s not bad but average (not up to Taj Standards). May be we had high expectations.
