Top Colombo 03 Hotel Reviews

Taj Samudra

Taj Samudra

10/10 Excellent
"A beautiful hotel with very friendly staff. Yasiru in the dining room is one of the greatest wait staff ever. It’s always touching to be remembered by name and he nailed it every time. I especially like the way they have a cat house for the three cats they look after at the property. The two younger cats (Pinot and Noir) are very friendly. When looking for a place that has high standards in Colombo the Taj will meet your expectations every time."
