we had an amazing time in Taj Samudra Colombo. Staff was very courteous and generous. Special thanks to Ms. Berni for making special arrangements to make our last day in Srilanka even more special and memorable. As always Taj exceeds our expectations of excellence.

This hotel is not what it used to be. One of the rooms was not available at 6:30 pm and was given a lower price room with out any monies back. The other room was small and not what I expected. I've stayed at this hotel before, but I will not return.

Nice people (staff) and nice hotel. Friendly design, classic with comfortable beds, good water pressure and efficient climate - control. Ocean views are nice and with great 180 degrees perspective. Excellent Barber Saloon at the lobby level with very professional staff (especially RASHAN). Reception people are helpful, pleasant, and accommodating. Best regards to Manju, who warmly and professionally welcomed me to the hotel upon my check-in.
