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."

Galle Face Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"It's a beautiful 5-star property, centrally located, on the ocean, with a history of over 160 years, with excellent amenities, including salt water swimming pool, gym, and restaurant, where royalty, prime ministers, presidents, movie stars, and celebrities have stayed over the years. It's highly recommended."

"I most appreciated the attentive staff and how relatively quiet my room was. What I liked least was that the air conditioning struggled to keep the room cool but managed to occasionally introduce cigarette smoke and other strong smells from some mysterious ventilation source."
