Fair View Hotel Colombo

Polite staff and curry delight

The staff were friendly, especially in the restaurant. The breakfast buffet offered a good choice, including spicy crab curry that was nice.

The air conditioning was noisy and the drainage in the bathroom was problematic, made for an uncomfortable experience .

Location : the hotel was just next door to a "exhibition "which is a common tactic by tuk-tuk drivers here, and restaurants and malls easily accessible. The beds where very comfy, the room was trendy with an exceptional view.

Clean, hip new hotel. Comfortable room with larger windows, showers and the best pillows...

The breakfast was a treat, with options ranging from Sri Lankan to Western. Mahendran and the team were super helpful with our transport and any issues we had. The atmosphere is inviting, and the staff genuinely care about your comfort. Would definitely recommend!

wonderful place to stay in colombo with polite and courteous staff who is working as a receptionist.

Ocean view from the balcony offers a amazing sight. The spacious Beautiful Triple Room provided ample comfort for a family stay.

Laundry charges for longer stays feel steep, lacking flexibility for visitors. The shower drainage had notable issues, causing water accumulation on two occasions , and the room cleaning could be more thorough, with stains present.

- Amazing sea view, excellent cleanliness, friendly and helpful staff

- Bathroom drainage issues, noisy air conditioning

Excellent service from staff made dining a highlight. The location offered a pleasant beach view, though a new building partially blocked some of it. Housekeeping was commendable, keeping rooms clean and well-maintained. Drainage issues in the bathroom diminished comfort . The noisy air conditioning and fan required us to switch them off at night. Despite these inconveniences, the overall friendly vibe and attentive staff provided a nice experience.

The ocean view was amazing, but I found the bathroom drainage quite poor.

Had a fantastic time enjoying the spacious sea-facing room and the mouth-watering crab curry that was the highlight of our meals. The outdoor swimming pool and sun terrace were perfect for relaxing after a long day. A minor downside was that the WiFi was a bit slow at times, but it didn't spoil our experience! 😊

The cleanliness, the spacious design, the comfortable bedding was really good.

The breakfast buffet was good, with a fantastic selection of both Sri Lankan and Western dishes. Special thanks to Siva and his team for, which even included spicy crab curry that was lovely. The room was spacious and clean, providing comfortable amenities.

Bathroom drainage issue.

The room offered a lovely ambiance with large windows that brought in natural light. Although there were some issues with noisy air conditioning and a couple of drainage problems in the bathroom, the overall cleanliness was excellent. Breakfast stood out, with delicious cereals and spicy crab curry.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, especially the really good breakfast that catered to both Sri Lankan and Western tastes.

For dads, it would be great if they could consider revising laundry charges for longer stays.

the staff are always so helpful and go out of their way to assist. parking space is a bit limited.
