Centrally located, well suited to my needs”

Fairway Colombo is the most centrally located hotel I've stayed at in Colombo, right next to Dutch Hospital. It's also within walking distance to Galle Face Green and the Colombo Central Markets. The room itself was very clean and comfortable. I shall certainly stay here again in future. The only oddity I experienced during my stay was that I was assigned an accessible room despite not having requested one nor wanting one. In future, I'd recommend that the hotel staff confirm with the guest whether they require an accessible room at check-in regardless of whether the guest has a disability or not, rather than making assumptions about a guest's needs. And if an accessible room is the only type available then that should be communicated to the guest.

Seamless guest handling + central location”

I was traveling solo, needed something central (Fort Colombo) for a night. Fairway Colombo delivered on all expectations here. Three reasons why I rate them 10/10: 1. They were very flex about early check-in. I had informed them I'll be in by 10 and they accommodated. I had to change my room from kingsize to twin bed, but I didn't care because I was solo. 2. Walking distance (<20 mins) from Galle Face Green, Petah Market/Red Mosque, Dutch Shopping Precinct. 3. Great rooftop bar (Botanix) with a weekend night scene complete with fun locals and outsiders. Potential downsides: Views aren't great, so if you are planning a 3+ night stay in Colombo where idea is not to step out much, this may not be for you.

An excellent small hotel in a wonderful location!”

We chose to stay at the Fairway during our 3 days in Colombo and thoroughly enjoyed our few days there. The location is unbeatable- just behind the Old Dutch Hospital and within easy walking distance of Galle Face Green and all there is to see in Colombo Fort. The staff are great, Mary at the front desk in particular- so helpful and friendly! The basic rooms are small but comfortable as is the bathroom although a bit more shelving would be welcome. It's great too having Java Lounge in the same building- great coffee, good music and a reasonable selection for breakfast if you don't want to opt for the hotel breakfast. We would definitely return to the Fairway on a future stay in Colombo!

Excellent”

Excellent location. Right opposite to the Dutch hospital. As we entered the hotel we were warmly greeted by the staff(sri lankan people are really really welcoming and friendly people👌👌👌♥️♥️). The rooms were spacious and spot on clean. The rooftop restaurant had a nice atmosphere but unfortunately we were short of time and we could not really enjoy it. Best part is the nightlife. We were close to bars and the famous ministry of crab♥️♥️♥️🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀 If you are in colombo you should definitely try the crab♥️♥️♥️👍👍👍. In brief, fairway colombo is the place to be.. Excellent hotel♥️♥️♥️🎉🎉🎉🎉

Stop over Colombo”

We always stay there, if we have a stop over in Colombo. It's very well situated....close to the railway station and next to all the sightseeing places and the oceanside. Breakfast is very good....you get a huge variety. The rooms are very clean and very comfortable! We really love it for having a stop over in Colombo! From the Fairway Colombo we always get the very best start into this wonderful country. And the stuff is also very friendly and helpful!

Second Visit - Wonderful Experience! ”

This is our second stay at the Fairway Colombo. This time we booked a family room (two king beds). It was massive, clean, and even better than the photos. We had a sitting area & kitchenette, too. The stafff was friendly and professional. We love the location which offers historic and leisure attractions. There is easy shopping and dining right there, too.

Great place to stay”

I stayed at the Fairway Colombo for 3 nights in total. They allowed me to store a bag for 3 days while I travelled around which was very helpful. Lovely hotel, very clean, tidy, spacious, and easy walking distance to bus station, railway station and few attractions. Not the easiest to walk around as one is continually pestered by tuk tuk drivers. Very cheap to use a tuk tuk when you want to though. Plenty of money changers very close by. Would definitely recommend staying here. $12 AUD by uber from airport, and this was at midnight. The restaurant and bar attached is independent from hotel ,I looked at the breakfast but didn't try it as I felt the choice was not overly good for USD 10, better places close by.

Great location, friendly staffs and amazing breakfast.”

The hotel is located near to the World trade centre, Colombo. The staffs were really friendly and helpful. If you’re in Colombo, choosing this hotel is definitely worth it. Breakfast is very good too.

Fairway COLOMBO”

ZMAX Fairway is located at a very convenient Place, just few meters from Colombo Finacial Centre. Surrounded by Cafe's and Restaurants of many choices. The Hotel and its amenities are new as the ZMAX Fairway went to operation as a 4star just six months ago. Hotel Rooms are small but very comfortable. I checked in to 2 different category of rooms. The Zmax King Family room is a perfact solution for a family of 4 or 5 to spend a budget holiday in Colombo. The Family room comes with comfortable 2 King beds and a huge sofa with sink and a microwave oven. The reception and lobby Area for guests are small but theres 4 elevators for quick access to guest rooms. Hotel Staffs are kind and keen with their works. Absolutely "Value for money"

New good value well located hotel ”

I stayed at the Fairview for my last night in Colombo - many of the other hotels in the area are quite a lot more expensive and this is a good budget-mid range option. The rooms are new and nicely fitted out with extra touches like tasteful artwork. Bed was very comfortable. Location is ideal being across the road from dutch hospital shopping precinct and walking distance to Galle face green (15min) and Pettah (20min). The beach at Galle face green is filthy and now there is major construction there. There aren't many budget eating options in the area though Pillawoos is around the corner and there are lots of people selling rice curry packets during the day. All up if you had to stay downtown this is a great option. If I return to Colombo I would not choose to stay in fort area - the outer beaches are much nicer

Comfortable, easy stay”

Arrived late from the airport. Had a swift checkin and went to sleep in the comfortable room. Check out in the morning was equally easy. Wifi was super-fast. When I had trouble withdrawing cash from local ATMs the staff was able to point me to the World Trade Center which had one that worked. Will book here again if I return to Colombo.

If it had a pool it would be 5 star.”

Great place to stay whilecin Colombo. Quality of facilities, amenities and room fixtures would put this hotel in the 5 star category if it had a swimming pool. Situated next to the Old Dutch Hospital shopping and fine dinning precinct it is the heart of colonial Colombo. We stayed 2 nights and moved to Negombo to be close to the airport. Really wish we had stayed here. Staff are great. This is a high standard hotel at a mid standard price.

Well located and clean”

Fairway Colombo is well located , very short walk to Old Dutch Hospital. Staff is helpful and attentive. Breakfast spread is acceptable, go for the Sri Lankan breakfast. The hotel room is clean, no trace of dirty grout on toilet tiles!

Great hotel at a convenient location of Colombo”

Booked this hotel as the prices were competitive, despite being in quite a central location in Colombo. Check in was quick and was well attended to by the staffs at the front desk, even though I was more than 2 hours early from the usual check-in time. Rooms are not very large, but more than enough for the average business traveller. Has a good working table with good lighting. Room comes with a safe and mini bar, and a slightly weird position (quite high up) closet. Toilets are clean and functional, however, there are no hand soap, toothbrush, etc provided. Only shower gel, shampoo and hand wash which is mounted to the wall. no issues for me but some travellers might want to take note. Bed and pillows are comfortable. Lighting in room is adequate, and even has a floor night light. TV channels show local and international channels. Plenty of shops/restaurants/bars/convenience store and supermarket around.

Best in class”

Fairway is at one the hotel situated at a awesome location with great service. It in just on front of biggest place for party in colombo. Must recommended for all those who wants both luxury and party at one place.

Excellent place to stay”

I was in Colombo to attend a function. A phone call requesting a hairdryer and an iron and ironing board was quickly responded to. The room had all that I required regard tea and coffee facilities, TV and safe etc. The bistro provided a nice rice and curry for my late lunch and breakfast in the morning was more than adequate. Fully recommend this hotel.

Perfect location / comfortable room”

The location is perfect, next to Old Dutch Hospital in Fort. Within walking distance of the Pettah, Fort Railway Station and Galle Face Green. Family room very spacious, modern and clean with good air conditioning and nice shower. Breakfast was good (buffet style with enough choices), served in the food court. This part of Colombo is also bustling and safe in the evening.

Loved the location, great value, recommend”

We came back for a second stay on our way back thru Colombo. Had a more basic room this time due to availability, but just as pleased. Great location close to history and culture, train station, restaurants. PROS: Friendly, helpful staff. Very clean, well-maintained, nice modern but charming decor. Comfortable beds, quiet air-con, strong, reliable WiFi. Well-designed e.g., reading lights. Rooms have everything you need, eco-friendly soap and shampoo dispensers, safe, kettle with instant coffee and tea, minifridge, free bottled water. Smart TV with good range of channels. Other items such as hair dryer, iron, shaving kit, slippers etc are available on request. Hot shower with good water pressure. In a pedestrianised area - pleasant to walk around. CONS: Popular area with music events can make it noisy some nights. Earplugs came in handy when we had a lower floor suite. Upper floors away from Hospital St are quieter.

STRONGLY RECOMMEND ”

One of the finest stay in Colombo compare to the money we spent for the stay. Room was very clean and the restaurant having various cuisines under one roof was really satisfying. I strongly recommend this hotel but I don’t recommend to stay long in Colombo.

Excellent stsy”

Stayed here once before and was impressed with the hotel and rooms, so was glad to book again. Friendly, courteous, helpful staff, beautifully clean ,well maintained rooms. Staff were professional , calm and informative during recent events in Colombo. For that we were truly grateful.
