Fairway Colombo - Sri Lanka's First Hotel With Robot Technology

Exceeded expectations for the night we spent there: staff were kind in reception and receptionist coordinated everything with other staff members to check-in. Once inside we got an elegant modern designed clean room with big TV and outstanding sound proofing (same as Hilton or Sheraton level), confortable bed, pillows, sheets and blankets... Air conditioning has very good quality as well as the bath kit and any other obect inside: so we slept perfectly. Location is central but a little bit hidden from street caos. Within walking distance there is the beach promenade, Galle Face mall and sightseeings. We didn't try hotel breakfast service or any hotel Restaurant but there are many others nearby just meters outside. The taxi or hotel driver service is recommended for its good price, so you do not risk bad suprises (beware airport guys). For sure I will prefer this hotel to stay in Colombo: it is highly recommended and we were happy to found it on Booking!

Super friendly and hospitable staff. Very easy check-in process. Stayed 5 nights. Good breakfast selection but basically the same every day. More local flavours. Stayed in room 506. Bed was very very comfortable. Nice pillows. Clean. Enough closet space even for a longer stay. Also enough wall plugs for electronics. Good lighting inside the room. Comes with a bar fridge and kettle with tea and coffee options. Free water daily. Bathroom is clean. Great water pressure in the shower. Nice quality towels. Shower gel and shampoo are provided. The hotel is located in Colombo 1. About 20 minutes walk to Pettah Market and One Galle Face Mall and 25 minutes walk to Colombo Lotus Tower. Plenty of tuk-tuks outside the hotel that will get you there much quicker and cheaply (if you negotiate the fare upfront). Local eateries are less than 5 minutes walking distance from the hotel. I'd definitely stay at the Fairway Colombo again.

Overall, the hotel offered decent value for what I paid - good mid-priced choice of place to stay while exploring Colombo. The staff were friendly and always greeted you with a smile. The room was spacious enough, with sufficient variety of TV channels in English. The location was good for a first-time visitor to Colombo, within walking distance from Galle Face Green, and right across from the old Dutch Hospital. The variety on offer at the breakfast buffet is impressive, and they did vary some of what was served between the two days I had breakfast there. The rooftop restaurant where breakfast is served is also quite comfortable and has ample powerpoints available in case you need to charge any devices while having breakfast. The quality of the wifi was also good.

Really good communication prior to visit and airport collection arranged with the hotel. Staff very friendly and efficient. Very comfortable room, although not the largest. Fresh water every day. Cafe and restaurant/pub attached to the hotel which made breakfast and evening meals very easy on days when we wanted to stay nearby. Location couldn’t be better for most of the City attractions.

Very well located (Fort District), this is a modern hotel, (currently under renovations) with very comfortable beds and very good service. Our room had a strong smell of paint because of the works and they kindly upgraded us to a suite since there were no more deluxe rooms available... Unfortunately it was on the 3rd floor, so near the noise of the bars and market! The room was great, wonderful beds, silent AC, Sat TV and very fast wi fi
