Needs work
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Property is too old, common areas in upper floors don’t have active AC, have lights flickering in ally’s! The rooms have electricity issues, there’s crackling sounds from switches, had issues with the locker and fridge! In short, wasn’t TAJ standards, seemed way below average.

Lovely staff, great food, comfortable facilities and good location
Pros:

Spacious rooms, nice pool, great buffet

At times unorganised - eg told us our room would be ready in an hour but it wasn’t ready for 4 hours and then didn’t have both beds in.

Outstanding One-Night Stay at Taj Samudra, Sri Lanka
Pros:

We had a memorable one-night stay at Taj Samudra, and the experience surpassed all expectations. The hotel’s cleanliness and the quality of the rooms and facilities were immediately evident, setting a premium standard from the moment we arrived.

What truly stood out was the staff’s incredible hospitality. The smiles, genuine care, and kindness from the entire team made our family feel valued and welcome throughout our visit. Special thanks to the team members at Port Of Call Restaurant:
Tithila, Dilhara, Dileka, Malaka, Athauda, and Prabath for their exceptional customer service; their warmth left a lasting impression and brightened our day as we departed.
Restaurant Manager for taking time to chat with our family during breakfast, enhancing the overall experience at Port of Call Restaurant.

Port of Call offered a superb breakfast buffet with an amazing and wide variety of items. Everything was delicious and mouth-watering, beautifully catering to all tastes and preferences and perfectly complementing our celebration of my cousin’s incredible wedding the night before.

Check-out was seamless, courtesy of Executive Secretary Thamali, whose kindness and care while we waited for transport added the final, thoughtful touch to our stay.

I would highly recommend Taj Samudra to anyone seeking outstanding service, superb dining, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. This hotel truly elevated our family’s experience and left us with smiles that stayed long after we left.

Excellent Customer Service witnessed
Pros:

My friend took me your Ports of call Restaurant for my birthday. The food and the selection was average however what I really wanted to highlight was the service we recieved from your staff, Uddika. He was the most attentive staff I've ever met in a Restaurant despite being busy as a bee and he was always with a smile. I believe he really enjoys working at the hotel and he's a great asset to your company. He went above and beyond and secured us a 10% discount on the bill as well. I wish Uddika all the best in everything and I hope he flourishes in his career wherever he goes.
