Hotels near Dutch Period Museum

"Breakfast was good, not excellent. Very busy and noisy with outside guests coming in as well and people on FaceTime calls and watching videos etc on phone without headphones. Service at hotel overall for a 5 star hotel in Sri Lanka and compared to other 5 star hotels there that had excellent staff and service levels- the ITC Ratnadipa rated poorly. Would not stay there again. Nice infinity pool and garden area on that level though. "

"I had mixed interactions with the staff. Some were warm and welcoming, others did not make me feel welcome or a valued guest at all, including the first point of contact at reception. The spa staff were amazing and run a quality experience which is excellent value for money. The lifeguards were excellent as were the staff in 1864 fine dining experience. The concierge lady assigned to me said she would make a dinner reservation for me but when I arrived for the buffet dinner for me on my first night, there was no reservation. The staff kindly found me a table and brought drinks then they came and apologised and said I had to move because the table was reserved. The same lady concierge gave me her number which seemed standard and said to ask her anything. I did ask her a question via WhatsApp messaging and it took her 24hours to reply. Housekeeping left a cleaning product in the shower. The buffet food was good and 1864 restaurant very good food. The breakfast had lots of variety and was enjoyable."

"Great old colonial hotel. Only downside was the noise between rooms - staff were very attentive and sorted the problem quickly"

"Great buffet"

"We only had a flying stop through Colombo, but the hotel and room was fantastic. Very thorough security just excellent level of service all round "

"Check in takes time apart of that excellent "

"The first thing I noticed was the courteous and ready to help staff, Taj has large tree covered property with both ocean and city views. I used the buffets styled restaurant offering international food and with more Indian themed food choices. (not surpised there since Taj is an Indian hotel company and at my visit, majority of guest were Indians. "

"The hotel and rooms are great. The infinity pool overlooking the Indian ocean is a sight to behold. We had dinner and breakfast buffets at the Quizine and the food was very flavourful and lots of variety."
