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

The facilities are old, but the location is very good. The food is delicious. The staff are nice. The price is not too high for a five-star hotel.
