NithyakumarIndiaMixed feelings initial stay was pathetic , 2nd and 3rd day was excellent
I booked for 3 day stay , first day they allotted me in 1st floor which is no where closer to Taj brand. All broken and ruined, while I am aware it’s old property but the maintenance at the 1st floor is pathetic.…

Questions about Taj Samudra, Colombo
What time is check-in and check-out at Taj Samudra, Colombo?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 12:00 PM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Taj Samudra, Colombo allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Taj Samudra, Colombo?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Taj Samudra, Colombo have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.

Does Taj Samudra, Colombo have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Taj Samudra, Colombo?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Taj Samudra, Colombo have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Taj Samudra, Colombo?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Taj Samudra, Colombo?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
