    Located very conveniently in the city. Rooms are very comfortable and clean. No toiletries were provided. But adequate towels and clean. Breakfast was very mediocre or even less. Staff was helpful but there was one receptionist who was little rude. Overall good city hotel. Can be recommended.

    Dear owner, we visited your hotel’s restaurant (gills kitchen) last week, the appearance was pretty good. But the food was absolutely disgusting. Pizza was soggy, butter chicken was dry and the rest were bland. No seasoning at all. Salad was absolutely horrible your chef doesn’t even know proper knife skills. Please make sure you give tasty food. Many items don’t mean it’s tasty. Basically worst food I’ve ever had so far. And the service was absolutely horrible. They didn’t even pour water to the glasses until I said so. They had 0 common sense. And there was lady who sounds very rude. She doesn’t care for customers at all. Kept me waiting until her call finished. I couldn’t pee for 2 days straight after having that welcome drink. Please be kind enough to read this and correct your mistakes, thank you.

    Fairway Colombo, a 4-star hotel nestled in the heart of Colombo 01, provided a delightful experience during my recent visit. The staff's exceptional service was evident from the outset, offering attentive assistance and warm hospitality throughout my stay. The hotel's rooms were impeccably cleaned, providing a comfortable sanctuary after a day of exploration. Moreover, the culinary offerings surpassed expectations, with each dish exuding freshness and flavor. Overall, Fairway Colombo offers a superb blend of top-notch service, pristine accommodations, and delicious dining options, making it a highly recommended choice for visitors seeking an affordable and centrally located stay in Colombo.

    In this hotel, which has a good location, the staff could be a little more focused on communication. less competent staff, much better at communicating. This hotel, where food variety not good, is located on a lively street. preferable.

    I came to this hotel having somewhat high expectations as it has a 4.7 rating and quite an expensive rate, and sadly, I was disappointed I had to quarantine for two weeks. My room was ok, not too small, which is always good. The beds are nice and comfortable, and overall, everything in the room was ok. However, the food that I got while I was in quarantine was very questionable as it is nearly always cold, and the food options never change. You get to choose between four options Sri Lankan, Indian, Chinese, and continental lower take into consideration that within the food choices, the food always stays the same; I stayed there for two weeks, and for two weeks, the food was the same. There is minimal room service giving you two or three options. There is a gym that you are allowed to go to when your first PCR test is negative. For the whole stay, I paid around 450,000 LKR, and it is not a good value for money.

    The rooms were really cleaned, spacious and comfortable. The bathroom was great. The other amenities and everything was great. We got the room for an offer of 9000/-. The view from the room was not good and there was no balcony for the superior rooms. The staff was really great and welcoming.

    A nice place with very clean rooms. The room amenities are very clean (clean towels, bathroom and linen). The room is rather small but then has a large TV. Tea or coffee is also available with a mini fridge as well. Very affordable and the location is in the centre of Colombo so basically accessible to anywhere. The car park is underground accessible by a lift. There are many nice places to visit arous if you are a tourist. The staff is also very friendly.

    Fairway Colombo is a nice hotel in a good location. This is the first stay that I’ve had at Fairway Colombo. It is a good place to stop through on your way in or out of Colombo. The staff is really wonderful and the rooms were very comfortable and clean. I think it’s better if they can improve on quick check in and Check out processes but overall satisfied about their service.

    The hotel is good but the reception has to be more polite with guests. We had booked through an Indian online agent. The agent had not made payment to the hotel which was between the hotel and agent but they troubled us for this and also took extra money from us. The agent too denied us refund of excess money paid. When your country is in crisis and it needs tourists, you should not be arrogant but rather welcoming.

    Situated in the middle of the town, which is very convenient to access many places. Rooms/ washrooms are very good in quality. Have tea making facilities, AC, TV, hair dryer, towels, safe in the room. Have nice view of World trade center. Not very expensive comparing to other places nearby. Can get meals also. Parking available at basement. Overall experience is great.

    This hotel provided me with a fantastic experience. Colombo is the location of the hotel. The stunning lights, natural beauty of the sea, and serene nature offer a sense of tranquility, even China's high-rise skyscraper was impressive. Everything was perfect, especially the weather and atmosphere. Both the dinner and the service were excellent. They even welcome you with delectable fruit drinks. This restaurant is not to be missed.

    Fairway Colombo is a charming hotel with an excellent location. However, it's worth noting that the rooms are somewhat compact. There are several other alternatives in the vicinity that might offer a more spacious accommodation experience, should you prefer that.

  • 1/5 Chester S. 4 months ago on Google
    Almost nothing good to say, but the most terrible situation happened at night: we were sleeping at 23:45 when a restaurant manager called us by hotel phone and said we have to pay for dinner (which we didn’t have). It took 30 minutes for them to find out other people had dinner and didn’t pay (not us), but first of all they woke us up telling to go downstairs and pay for something we don’t owe. No apologies, nothing. When we came back to the room (at 00:15), the room key didn’t work. We had to go back and wait for the worker to change the battery of our door lock. We lost 1 hour of sleep before the long way, thanks to the hotel team. Also AC in the room is nosy like you are in the airplane in any mode, and you can’t open the window. The shower is sinking on the bathroom floor. There was a dirt mark on the wall above bed. Would never advise anybody to stay at this terrible place, really sad for the price I paid with my money and nerves.

    I thought of writing this review because of a very bad experience with this hotel. I traveled with a team of 3 to Sri Lanka and reached there on 20th November. We did the booking through makemytrip and were carrying a copy of the booking voucher for 3 rooms. But to our surprise, the front desk of the hotel said that they have received booking request for only 2 rooms and kept us waiting at the reception for almost 1 hour around 4 O'clock in the morning. They were not even ready to allocate rooms Finally, we suggested that we do a new booking by paying from my pocket as we were tired after the overnight journey. Next day itself, makemytrip sorted out this issue and the hotel also agreed that they had received payment for the booking and agreed for the refund. Surprisingly the hotel did not refund till today even after multiple reminders and no response as well. I had been sending reminders to them for last 3 weeks and no response except the initial acknowledgment. Looks like some one in the hotel accounts \ front desk doesn't care about the reputation of the hotel. The stay was comfortable and they served a below average breakfast. But these dishonest people at their accounts and front desk are spoiling the reputation of the hotel. I do recommend this hotel. But you have to be very careful with the people especially on the financial transactions.

    A worst experience ever if you’re eating only vegetarian food please don’t dare to come here a very bad food. Dinner given in a food packet in the room instead of saying no they serve in the room because there is no space in the room the room was also too small after complaining they arrange it but the roti was not able to chew the sabji was even worst.

    Have been trying to get discharge documents from this hotel and they have been completely unhelpful. I don't even understand how they were disorganized enough to let a person leave an L1 hotel without providing the documentation. They also joked that the PCR test came back positive which is in poor taste. I'm going to leave negative reviews on every website until they do their job and send the documents. Awful customer service and a very mediocre hotel. Lots of better options

  • 4/5 Rukshan H. 1 year ago on Google
    A good value for money but the room even though with all the facilities is pretty small. Be careful with everything in the room too because they try to charge you $100 for any damage. Hilariously even a small accidental coke stain on a bed sheet costs that much.

  • 1/5 Levi M. 1 year ago on Google
    I had a horrible experience at this hotel. The room rates are inconsistent and the amount quoted over the phone was different from what I was charged at check-in. To make matters worse, the room servant attempted to enter my room while I was inside. They knocked twice before I trying to open the door. I've never experienced such an invasion of privacy before. While the room facilities and cleanliness were good, I would advise caution when staying at this hotel due to their inconsistent pricing and unacceptable behavior from staff.

  • 5/5 Deepak P. 1 year ago on Google
    After a long time been to such a nice place. Had a great time staying here with my family. The roof-top view was beautiful and the furniture used was just fantastic. The room was perfect and the staff was very professional. The ratio quality/price was definitely the best I could find in Colombo. Overall stay was comfortable.

  • 4/5 HARI SURESH P. 1 year ago on Google
    I really enjoyed,Location is perfect. Right across the street from Dutch hospital with its collection of bars and restaurants. Rooms and bathrooms are nice and everything is spotless. Staff are a little laid back but cheerful and service oriented. There is a collection on restaurants just next door along with a pub. There is also a very nice roof top pub but thisis not owned by the hotel.

  • 5/5 Dilshanth M. 1 year ago on Google
    Rooms are not spacious enough. The room is only designed for resting. No space for any workplace area. Maintenance and the service is very good. Very good place for just resting and sleeping. They also have a rooftop bar restaurant. Overall a very good place for a short stay. Staffs are very nice.

  • 3/5 siddanth r. 9 months ago on Google
    Small hotel located in a very busy road. Initially it could be hard to find the hotel. The hotel is clean and well maintained. The staff is helpful and friendly. There are no knobs for the washroom and the exhaust was not working. There was a private party happening in the terrace and it disturbed my sleep. Over all it’s a decent place.

  • 4/5 Chamara K. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent service by all means. Loved the stay here. Staff is very friendly and helpful for anything I could ask for. Room services and housekeeping are extraordinary.

  • 1/5 Basel Al K. 9 months ago on Google
    Absolutely poor hotel I highly recommend not staying in this hotel at Colombo. The cleanliness of the hotel is decent and the location is actually very convenient but that is about it. Rooms are very small as compared to all the other hotels we have seen throughout our stay in Sri Lanka. The staff are young and inexperienced although they are trying their best. But out of all , the absolute worst experience was with their breakfast. It is a scam. In addition, don’t expect getting a good night sleep as the bar music keeps playing till 2 am

  • 1/5 Kasun M. 2 years ago on Google
    They will help you till they get the money but not after that. I cancelled my booking due to unforeseen circumstances, I have emailed more than 10 times regarding my refund and now no one is replying back. Shows poor and lack of decency.

  • 5/5 Supun Lasantha M. 11 months ago on Google
    A perfect place to stay in Colombo. Reasonable prices, rooms are squeaky clean and very comfortable. Located in the city center, quick and easy access to many restaurants and pubs. Friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 Mohamed R. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Vijitha G. 4 months ago on Google
    A good place to stay in the heart of Colombo, comfortable and neat. They have a nice pub with good options. Also a street food festival that is happening on the last weekend of every month. Which is cool . Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Nirusha de a. 2 years ago on Google
    I was in this hotel for a few hours less than 12 !! However the experience was amazing . The staff , in particular the front office Managers Mr.Saman Fernando and Mr. Azmie went above and beyond to assist me in getting the PCR tests done and completed .They both had their guests interest at all times. Clean hotel , the room was clean and very comfortable. The food was simple and nice very well packed . They both worked as a TEAM to provide the best customer service . I would definitely recommend this hotel . Thank you .

  • 4/5 Shahana D. 2 years ago on Google
    Overall, my daughter had a comfortable experience at Fairway Colombo, during her quarantine, early this month. Staff were extremely accommodating, especially Avinga from Reservations, all the Front Desk staff and Champika from Housekeeping, who made sure she received her supply of drinking water even when she was asleep. So this was a big plus, especially when your amenities are limited in quarantine. The room was comfortable and clean.

  • 5/5 Panayur Subramaniam R. 8 months ago on Google
    Had a very pleasant stay. Rooms were large, in excellent condition with all modern amenities including a microwave oven and wifi with higher speed. Spacious Multi cuisine Restaurant. Buffet for Breakfast and Dinner had variety of tasty Indian vegetarian dishes. Courteous and friendly staff.

  • 3/5 Milos M. 6 months ago on Google
    Hotel is located in the center of the city, you can walk to some of the points of interest. Room was comfortable and clean, however equipped with minimum amenities. Food in the roof top restaurant is very disappointing, very, very limited choice. My card was not set up to send elevator to roof top restaurant, I have asked staff two times to set it up without success. On the weekends there is live music in the restaurant below, and it is very noisy even on the 7th floor where it was my room.

  • 2/5 Bhargavi V. 2 years ago on Google
    Staff were good. But we asked for veg food but they gave with chicken. Also we asked for less spicy food but the food was too spicy for kids

  • 5/5 Niroshan S. 2 years ago on Google
    Stayed here overnight after a function. The location is within close proximity to everything and you can find many places to grab food within walking distance. Rooms were cleaned and spacious. Check-in was smooth. Covered parking is available. However, the car park is not the best. The staff was friendly and helpful.

  • 4/5 Scott H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great location. Staff are great. If you are staying at the weekend your only option to enjoy this hotel at night is join in the local music. The bands, bars around this hotel are fantastic. The t,-lounge tea house is 100 meters away. Great food.

  • 3/5 Saugata D. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 GW 2 years ago on Google
    My review is based on my personal experience at Fairway and in no way based on a few negative reviews by some unfortunate experiences by former guests. I arrived at the hotel very early morning after a long flight from the US for a one night stay. Front desk was efficient and was quick to sign me in and explained the procedures to follow. PCR test was done at 8:30 Am same morning . Breakfast was served soon after, followed by lunch and dinner at appropriate times. The Room was clean and tidy There was plenty of potable water available and on request. Free WIFI- good connection. The food was plentiful, however it was a bit too spicy. ( i suggest tone down a little) :-) The only CON was the noise , NOT from the street outside, but by some inconsiderate loud guests in the hallways. Overall Fairway was Fair to me.

  • 4/5 Omkar A. 2 years ago on Google
    Hotel is fairly good. Very nice to stay with all the required amminities.

  • 5/5 bhumika p. 2 years ago on Google
    Cozy rooms, cordial staff, a great hospitality overall. The best part of staying here is the location, it is very close to the shore and shopping mall. So it becomes convenient for us to take a walk to nearby places. We visited in the month of January from India and love the way people there are following covid protocols.

  • 3/5 Shubham L. 2 years ago on Google
    Location-Located in main area of Colombo (near to world trade center). Staff behaviour is also good. Room size is small and no toothbrush kit provided. Food menu is very basic (not even imagine it's 4star hotel food) Rest of thing are ok.

  • 5/5 Shweta T. 2 years ago on Google
    This hotel was our final destination of our honeymoon ❤️ It was extremely beautiful and the places nearby to this are soo warming .. bars, cafe , restro , casinos all are superb. ❤️ One could stay here for long and enjoy the same .. the local market was also nearby . Enjoy being here the food was delicious and the rooms was neat and tidy

  • 1/5 Pankaj M. 2 years ago on Google
    Frozen food was served without properly hitting and manager was touching it to check with his hand and roti was not in a condition to chew. Before three days someone has complained the same in review but after three days I have same complaints means management is least bother

    Loved our stay at the fairway hotel. The staff were exceptional made us feel so welcome and it really felt like home. The cleanliness was also exceptional, and the security staff was always there for a helping hand. Definitely will stay here again next time we visit.

  • 5/5 Ajay D. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome trip... The staffs are quite supporting....they ensure that the stay is pleasant.... Appreciate the gesture from reception and restaurant guy's.... They sure did ensure that I don't sleep hungry.... Room's are clean & best and so is the ambience.... Would recommend definitely for all looking for a happening vacation or business stay... The location is really pleasant.... Remind of getting along in old Dutch ambience.....

  • 2/5 Prathibha S. 2 years ago on Google
    Though the rooms were comfortable, the food was pathetic. I had opted for a package which included breakfast and dinner. I'm a vegetarian and there was only dal, subji and roti for dinner. The rice was over and they couldn't arrange for it again. They did not have any salads and desserts available too. There was only one non veg dish n could see everyone complaining about that as well. Worst even, they couldn't even serve tea and asked me to make it in my room with the sachets provided.

  • 5/5 Vishmi De S. 1 year ago on Google
    Simply one of the best stay ins we ever had. Very reasonable price, excellent service and friendly staff, room was perfect with the calming atmosphere and cleanliness was to the fullest. Overall, was an amazing experience staying here at Fairway 🤗 thank you for amazing experience. ♥️

  • 5/5 Emalki De S. 1 year ago on Google
    Stayed in fairway on April for like a week with my boyfriend. The room was so comfortable, clean and the interior was just pretty. Maybe the breakfast buffet can be improved. Staff were very accommodating and friendly. If you’re looking for a place to stay overnight around colombo, i would definitely recommend fairway and I’m sure you won’t regret.

There is also a very nice roof top pub but thisis not owned by the hotel.
