Given that the Taj Samudra is part of the Taj chain, you will therefore not be surprised by its services and comfort. It is an unappealing hotel of international standard. However, its location and many modern comforts make it an ideal place for stopovers at Colombo. It seems to appeal more to a business clientele.

The Taj Samudra is located on the avenue which skirts the ocean in Colombo. It is close to all the other hotels. The airport is 20 minutes away by car.
The Taj Samudra is a 299-room edifice . All the rooms will be renovated. The wood flooring replaced the carpet. The rooms are more illuminated and colourful. The shades vary from red, beige and brown. The decoration is attractive and neat. Frames adorn the walls. The rooms have all sorts of modern comforts: satellite television, telephone, air-conditioning, mini-bar, safe, tea and coffee facilities. Some rooms have a balcony. A lounge area allows you to relax. A flaw : the bathroom seems very small. All the same, you will find a bathtub, welcome products and a hair dryer there.
The Taj Samudra is a hotel dating back to the 80s. A huge 5-storey building faces the ocean. The hotel's architecture is very unattractive and lacks originality. The hotel is decorated British-style Everything is dazzling, from chandeliers to tiling. There is also a great deal of woodwork in the rooms. There is a swimming pool in a small garden behind. A lobby bar offers cocktails accompanied by piano music in the background. A bar that opens in the evening transforms into a discotheque or a concert place.
There is a coffee shop for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The coffee shop leads to the swimming pool and the garden and thanks to the bay windows, it is bright. To vary the pleasures, three other restaurants are open for lunch and dinner. An Indian and Chinese restaurants and a grill.
Since September 2005, the hotel has been renovating each storey.
