Janusz R.

Nice people (staff) and nice hotel. Friendly design, classic with comfortable beds, good water pressure and efficient climate - control. Ocean views are nice and with great 180 degrees perspective. Excellent Barber Saloon at the lobby level with very professional staff (especially RASHAN). Reception people are helpful, pleasant, and accommodating. Best regards to Manju, who warmly and professionally welcomed me to the hotel upon my check-in.

We stayed for two nights. ALL of the staff are BRILLIANT and looked after us really well. The room was spacious and the rain-shower incredible… probably the best I’ve had. The on-site Indian restaurant was excellent as was breakfast. Easy to walk around the area and just 5 minutes to Park Street for loads of good dining options. Wholeheartedly recommend Taj Samudra. Thank you.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
when walking to our room we can smell smoking, when asked we were told that room with balcony is a smoking room, But we can see someone sitting inside the room and smoking, also one gentleman smoking on the corridor. Bath tub is moldy. We paid for room with ocean facing but we were given a room where there is a building blocking the view, There are not chest of drawers in the room. We liked the breakfast and dinner buffet very much. Staff is very nice

Great place to stay
Stay at the hotel was comfortable, clean, and carefree. The staff service was great, the food options were amazing. For someone looking to understand how far the oceanfront rooms were from the ocean, please know that there were other buildings and a road in front; the pictures on the hotel website are taken from a different angle.

Taj Samundra was a decent experience for us, though the rooms are old-school and you can see wood worn off in some places, the grandeur of the property over shadows everything. The buffet spread was great but service a bit chaotic. We do want to mention a shout out to Joseph at the gym, Bhatia for room service, Ms Dinushah at check-in and Ms Tathsarani at check-out. I do have to mention the rates we booked at were inclusive of all taxes as mentioned by expedia at the time of booking but when we got the property, it was easily 35 USD more per night including tax. Expedia needs to be clear about this so we can choose the best price for us.
