Lovely hotel that's currently being renovated - so likely to be even better in the future... Staff are just lovely, restaurant is great and rooms are spacious and immaculate. A step above most places I've stayed in whilst in Sri Lanka.

The hotel staff was kind, courteous and went above and beyond to anticipate our needs. I am an event planner and have stayed in many hotels across the country. This hotel is by far the finest all around. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend this hotel to all of our friends.

Stay here with family for 5 days on a holiday visit to Colombo. It was an awesome experience with an amazing team of staff who were so very personal and helpful. One of the best experiences among the many Taj Hotels around. Besides everything being spic and span as expected from a 5* property, the primary factor to compliment is... More

The location overlooking the Galle face sea front is fabulous. The sea facing rooms offer lovely views of the sea. The staff is very polite and takes care of every need. The house keeping staff is very efficient. The breakfast and the food at the chinese restaurant great.
