Bardzo podobał mi się cały pobyt w tym hotelu, obsługa była bardzo pomocna i miła, pokój był czysty, a widok na ocean i szum fal był tak przyjemny i relaksujący, że zdecydowanie warto tam pojechać, jeśli planujesz tu pobyt!
Stayed for a night after landing in Colombo. Hasini checked us in and was very friendly and welcoming; we were given all the information we would need during our stay. Large hotel with well kept rooms. Highlight of the stay had to be the breakfast buffet! The quantity and quality of options were amazing. Wish we had stayed another night so we could've enjoyed the buffet once more.
Nasza rodzina trzech zgłosiła się do hotelu w pierwszym tygodniu maja 2025 roku. Niestety, nasze ogólne doświadczenie było niedostateczne. Usługa pokojowa była rozczarowana, nasz zamówienie było nieprawidłowe, i zdecydowaliśmy się nie wysyłać go z powrotem, ponieważ zakładaliśmy, że to zajmie dużo czasu, aby otrzymać odpowiednie.
Dodatkowo, pomimo posiadania aktywnej rachunku za jedzenie w pokoju, co czuło się nierozsądne. Kiedy zapytaliśmy o wieczorne rozrywki (piątek wieczorem), przedni desk zapewnił nas, że zespół na żywo będzie występował, ale to się nigdy nie stało.
Wydaje się, że kurort wydaje się działać z minimalnym personelem, co może wyjaśnić spadek jakości usług. Na pozytywną notatkę, byliśmy ciepło mile widziani przez wielkiego gospodarza w check-in, a barman w barze basen wykonał doskonałe koktajle i zapewnił przyjazną obsługę.
My room smelled like sewage, a strong smell that literally made me sick on a daily. The staff tried to dampen the smell by throwing liquids down the drain, but once you use the taps, the smell is back again. Ive seen reviews about the smell, but thought it was temporary issue at the time it was written. The curtains are visibly dirty and in need of a simple wash. Other than that the room is spacious the aircon works well.
The view is beautiful with the trains passing daily against the ocean waves. Big spoon restaurant is s few steps away serving massive portions- a must try. Tuktuks and taxi are also parked right infront of the hotel. Hopefully the sewage smell can be resolved soon...its a good hotel but that smell will never make me book it again.
Sheer British Colonial history setting from 150 years ago.
Immaculately observed, including the lowering of the Sri Lankan flag every day at 6pm, accompanied by a Scottish bagpiper!!
Excellent location, close to the city centre but just enough away, right be the sea, in front of the iconic Galle Face Green.
The pool is sourced from the sea water all the time. Good size, good facilities. Clean. Sunset views exceptional.
Food available in several locations in the hotel, including the popular, much talked about buffet breakfast and bar food. Prices reflect the maintenance of traditional cuisine in a the modern world…
But not as expensive as other modern hotels nearby, eg the Kingsbury.
Highly recommended.
We were here in the run up to Christmas 2025. The decorations will put many Christian countries to shame!.😁
They obliged us with a late check out.
Five stars!
Always a pleasure to stay at Taj Samudra. Great service and a fantastic Breakfast Buffet. Some of the pricing e.g Fresh Orange juice in the Lobby cafe was extortionate, maybe an oversight
Visited Colombo during off-peak season so we managed to visit the city with less crowd. Views from any sea-facing room is incredible for its price - slight blocking with 2 towers in front but you can get a better unblocked view if you go for Premium tier rooms. I have to commend reception staff Anjala, who managed upsell me a Premium Seaview Room from a Superior Seaview Room. He took the time to explain the differences between each tier, accommodated to my budget constraints, and brought me to each room (empty ones of course) for a viewing before committing to an upgrade. After hearing that I was there on honeymoon (my husband would only arrive later), he relayed that to the rest of the team who took care of us wonderfully throughout our 4-day stay. Overall, room is clean and roomy, perfect for business calls with fast and reliable in-room wifi. Only downside is their TV doesn't have Netflix or Airplay, only Miracast for Android/Windows users. Tip for travellers: tell your driver this used to be Movenpick hotel - they will know where to drop you off.
Just put some pictures for your reference, it's a pretty good hotel
I am particularly impressed by Kasun's service. The breakfast, lunch and dinner here are also very nice. The only drawback is that the gym can't be used except dumbbells, and the shower is not very convenient.
The service was top notch, the staff members were very helpful and professional. The room was clean and spacious. The location was convenient as it was about a 15-20 min drive from the airport, and there are quite a few eateries walking distance.
Hotel room was renovated. tv is not able to view YouTube which is a drawback.
Overall the service is good. Variety of breakfast items is huge compared to the other hotels I’ve stayed in Srilanka.
Fantastyczny

Very Good
GGuest UserGreat hotel, except for location. A little too far from city and markets, but a great tuk-tuk ride was exciting.
Staff friendly and helpful.
The Fishery Grill and Bar has sensational food. Good prices.
Bed was super comfy.
Groundsman was super good showed us a cool out of the way place to sit and watch the ocean. He also bought us each a coconut to drink.
AAnonymous UserRoom: The room is fully equipped and spacious, with an open view. The bathroom has a separate wet and dry area. Plus, there's room service available, so you can still get food even if you arrive late.
Facilities: There's a stunning 'heavenly' pool, and a chain coffee shop conveniently located next to the hotel.
Service: The front desk staff are friendly and polite.
GGlobetrotter20Cinnamon Lakeside is an upscale hotel resort in the heart of downtown Colombo
From front desk service to spacious & well-maintained rooms to amazing amenities including a fully equipped gym (sauna & hammam) with an outdoor pool with view on the Beira lake, this property is a top choice for a comfortable stay in Sri Lankan capital.
Highly recommended :

Amazing facilities for a « city resort » property 👍
Delicious breakfast 👍
GGuest UserI chose this hotel for its sea view, and it's just a few hundred meters' walk to the beach. In the evening, after watching the sunset, we went to a nearby shopping mall for dinner. The front desk staff were very friendly and helped us book a taxi through the Uber platform.
GGuest UserI had a truly beautiful and memorable experience staying at this hotel. From the very first moment, you sense its special atmosphere—a place with history, character, and its own unique atmosphere. The ocean view is simply incredible, one of those that stays in your memory for a long time. The sound of the waves, the sunsets, and the overall sense of space and air create a feeling of relaxation and fulfillment.
The hotel grounds are pleasant and have everything you need for a comfortable stay. I'd especially like to highlight the location—it's truly exceptional and one of its main advantages.
At the same time, there's a feeling that the hotel lacks some consistency in its service and attention to detail. In places, it feels like this space has much greater potential than it currently has. This doesn't completely ruin the experience, but it does create a slight contrast between the atmosphere and the level of service.
Overall, this is a place with a beautiful soul, strong energy, and a unique location. With a more attentive and refined approach to service, it could be truly outstanding.
RRajaratnam ChitranganAmazing location and friendly staff and clean rooms. Will be a added bonus if we can have Jaffna food Available all day from lunch time till midnight. Great experianca. Well done
GGuest UserThe room was great, but it's the rainy season now, so it's very humid. Being so close to the sea made it even more so. The service was impeccable, though I was surprised to see people making the staff serve them at the self-service breakfast. It's like they thought spending money made them royalty, so I tipped the staff who served me. Lying on my balcony looking at the sea was such a pleasure. The TV in the room had everything I wanted to watch, which was amazing. With some music on, just watching the sea and zoning out was pure bliss.
GGuest UserGreat location with amazing view. Where you can enjoy the beach view, the trains come and go while a handful of food places around the hotel. Can visit to Fort station and surrounding as well as Mount Lavinia area.
