Hotel Dengan parking di Western Province, Sri Lanka

Overall, I had a really nice stay at this hotel. The highlight for me was definitely the view. I had a room overlooking the ocean, and waking up to that scenery every day was absolutely beautiful. The room itself was lovely as well clean, well-maintained, comfortable, and furnished to a high standard. The location is great in many ways, but there is one thing worth mentioning. The hotel is right next to a train station, which unfortunately can be quite noisy. I’m a light sleeper, and I often woke up when trains arrived, especially late at night or early in the morning because of the warning sounds. I ended up using white noise to help me sleep. If you're only staying for a night or two, it probably won't bother you much, but for a longer stay it may be something to consider. I didn't get a chance to use the facilities, but I did have a look at the rooftop bar and swimming pool, and both looked fantastic with amazing views. The breakfast was probably the weakest part of my experience. I only had it once and then decided to explore some of the nearby cafés instead. Honestly, I enjoyed those much more, and it was a nice way to discover the area. As for the service, the staff were always polite and helpful, but they seemed quite stretched. Whenever I called for assistance, it usually took around 30 to 40 minutes, and sometimes I had to follow up. That said, it wasn't something that really upset me or took away from the overall experience. Despite a few minor drawbacks, I genuinely enjoyed my stay. The beautiful room, stunning ocean views, and overall atmosphere made it a memorable experience.

Остановились в этом месте для небольшой передышки после долгой дороги на Шри-Ланку , день отоспались и осмотрелись в округе . Хозяин всячески нам помог выбрать , где взять в аренду машину,  порекомендовал место где можно вкусно поужинать . Очень учтивый доброжелательный , отзывчивый

Morden midrange Hotel with a very clean and comfortable room, in particular the bed. We slept very well as we arrived Colombo midnight. A Rooftop swimming pool with good views. We walked 20 minutes to famous temple nearby.

Had a great stay ! Everything was perfect and great selection in the buffet area and other restaurants. Amazing rooftop with pool and bar. Lovely staff both in reception / restaurants and Spa. The only minus was the room view and rooftop view due to construction going on, but it’s not that important for me. The room was spacious and with great facilities, loved their bath lotion and speaker in the bathroom as well !! Definitely recommend.

We recently stayed at Galle Face Hotel, Colombo with my family. Overall, the hotel experience was good, especially the location and service. However, the rooms feel overly traditional and colonial, which does not fully meet modern-day requirements. The heavy wooden furniture and old-fashioned, posh décor may appeal to older patrons who appreciate classic heritage styles, but it may not suit travelers looking for a more contemporary stay. The electrical points and facilities are also quite outdated and not convenient for today’s laptop- and gadget-dependent travelers. I would suggest that the hotel consider modernizing some rooms and amenities, while still preserving a few heritage-style rooms for guests who prefer the traditional experiences.

Our first time in Sri Lanka and it was exceptional! The location is perfect — close to CMB Airport, making it very convenient for late arrivals. The 24-hour reception was fantastic; we were warmly greeted by the friendly and helpful staff. We even had the chance to cool off in the clean, refreshing pool. The room was spacious, modern, and spotless. Breakfast was outstanding — a generous three-course meal with fresh fruit, juice, beautifully cooked and seasoned vegetables, followed by an omelette and sausages. Absolutely delicious and plentiful! A special mention to Damith, who went above and beyond to help us organise rides and offered great local recommendations. Overall, a very pleasant experience — highly recommend staying here!

Great location, close to a lot of restaurants, cafes, bars, and One Galle Face Mall. The hotel is well kept albeit old. The pool is great. Beautiful and cozy lobby and cafe. The greatest of all is the staff. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Taj Samudra is the perfect home away from home whenever in Colombo. Will definitely stay here again.

My room was pleasant. It was a reasonable size, with a comfortable bed. The foyer and seating areas always seemed crowded. The only place to relax was at the pool. Pedestrian access to the hotel is problematic. It is surrounded by busy roads and crossing them is not for the faint hearted.

I stayed here for two nights and found the experience to be average. The location is definitely the best part of this hotel—you can’t beat it for convenience. I had requested a birthday cake upon arrival, and the hotel did a good job of arranging that for me, which I appreciated. However, the rest of the stay was hit-or-miss. The cleanliness was only average, and the receptionist wasn't very attentive. It’s a fine place if you just need a central spot to sleep.
