The Reception staff were amazing. It was a typical Sri Lankan day - hot and sticky - and I was given cooling towels and a refreshing drink at check-in. A member of reception team showed me round the hotel and took me to my room which had the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. The bathroom had an extensive... more

On arrival at the Taj Gardens at 8pm I was told a) that there was no reservation and b) that the hotel was full to bursting anyway. I stood my ground for the best part of one hour whence we established that the overbooking was going to come to a head at around 3 in the morning. I suggested that... more

We needed a hotel near the airport before an early morning flight. A comfortable hotel ( de luxe room) with everything we needed. Wake up calls galore to ensure we didn't miss the flight and a breakfast packet waiting for us. The 24 hour coffee shop isn't really. Dinner in the restaurant was a very tasty sea food bryani at... more

Visited in the hotel for one night before our departure flight from Sri Lanka. Rooms: The hotel is pretty old, still the room we got was ok, the shower is pretty old. The main problem we encountered is mosquitoes, we where bitten repeatedly (even in the restorant). We have asked the front desk to do something about it, they send... more

Having been unavoidedly delayed in Colombo we needed to find a hotel near the airport. Colombo itself is a good 70 minutes drive away. The Taj Airport Garden Hotel was our choice. It is a 1970's highrise hotel - small bathrooms - average sized rooms - nothing special. The public areas are well overdue for a renovation - very tired.... more

We spent our last night in Sri Lanka at this hotel on Christmas Eve. This is no more than a 3* travellodge/holiday inn style hotel perfect for 1 night. The rooms were ok and the food served in the main restaurant was ok too. Probably one of the better hotels we stayed in during our stay in Sri Lanka. Not... more

We arrived here early afternoon for a one night stopover before we flew home the following day. We had an excellent time we had paid for a deluxe room which had everything you could want, robe, slippers, movies, tea coffee making facilites, pillow service and every toiletry you could ever need. We used the nature trail around the hotel in... more

I stayed here on 23/06/07 for one night. It is not the best hotel but not hopeless. The bathrooms were not dirty but certainly not up to scratch in terms of bad tiling etc The hotel is a budget hotel - i would say that it is probably slightly worse than your average travel inn more

Very clean hotel. Ideal location to get to and from the airport to avoid the traffic congestion around Colombo. more
