    Situated on 11 acres of landscaped gardens and facing the historic Galle Face Green on the waterfront, the hotel has the finest location in the city. It offers guests a spectacular view of the Indian Ocean.

    • The stay was quite comfortable. The one thing was missed was the regular Taj goodies like the sewing kits etc which makes life a bit comfortable in case of emergencies. The restaurants are good and so is the bar.

    Taj Samudra: We stayed 3 nights at the 5...    Check Rates

    • We stayed 3 nights at the 5 star Taj Sumadra Hotel and discovered that there was no towels when my wife was half way through her shower. This has never happened in our travelling experiences. I hope this is not another ploy to extract extra tips!

    The swimming pool looks inviting but it being the raining season we didn't get the chance to use it. The gym and sauna comes at no extra charge and the standard is acceptable. The hotel's taxi driver, Fernando is both friendly and patient. He can take you to any part of Sri Lanka and the rates are affordable.

    Taj Samudra: Under Renovation & Not Recommended    Check Rates

    The Taj is a famous Indian hotel management group with some great hotels around the world...but not in Colombo. Granted we stayed there while it was under renovation (which of course we did not know until we arrived) but even after the renovation the hotel will not meet our expectations.

    Initially, we checked into an unrenovated room on the business executive floor. Upon hearing that there was renovation work we asked for a renovated room which they kindly complied. Clearly, renovation simply meant that they re-painted the rooms and maybe changed the mattresses. not much else. For example, post renovation the bathroom was still over 20 years old, the furniture was old and the overall workmanship was very poorly done. To make matters worse, the rooms were infested with ants! On two separate days, the elevators were not working.

    Breakfast was included but served in a Chinese restaurant with unattractive ambience. The food selection was mediocre. I felt sorry for the guy making omlettes as he couldn't help scrambling the eggs.

    The staff are friendly and they certainly try their best. However, they could use a bit more training. For example, they asked me to fill out a survey upon check-out. I joked with them saying that they shouldn't watch while I complete the survey. After I handed back the survey they joked 'only good service for the front desk staff?'. Out of courtesy, I changed the survey to 'excellent'. The lady actually had the nerve to ask for my signature to authenticate the amendments.

    I saw other hotels in Colombo but not the rooms so I can't say if there are better choices. The TransAsia hotel seemed promising.

    Should have a nice outdoor pool when the renovation is complete.

    The ocean views are great!
