最悪な宿泊でした。
主に2点あります。

①騒音について
土曜日の夜に泊まりましたが、すぐそばでライブが深夜の2時から3時程まで続いていたと思います。
ライブの場所に対して反対側の部屋でしたが、騒音が酷く、寝ることができませんでした。
よく海外で騒音トラブルを経験しますが、これ程までにうるさかった事はありませんでした。
次の日の旅行に影響をきたすので、このホテルはおすすめ出来ません。

②紛失品対応について
チェックアウト後、2~3時間後に忘れ物に気づきました。忘れ物は、携帯のGPSで位置情報を辿り、ホテルにある事は分かっていました。
その旨を電話で伝えましたが、後で折り返すとの連絡以降、折り返しはありませんでした。
2回電話を掛けたにもかかわらず同じ対応であり、残念でした。
無くしたこちらも悪いので深くは追求しませんでしたが、GPSを辿ってみたところ、ホテル関係者のGampaha districtの家に持ち帰られてしまったようです。お家、分かってますよ。

立地は非常に良かったですが、それだけです。

Great location in Fort, excellent facilities, friendly staff. The breakfast was not included in our reservation, and it was not worth the price. Lots of options, but uneven for a four star hotel: in a tropical country, only mediocre papaya and watermelon as fruits, and industrial juices? Margherine instead of butter? And the tech side (robots for room service) is a silly gimmick.

First impressions soured the hotel.

We walked from the train station, as we'd spent over 10 hours on the train from Ella. At the time of us arriving at the hotel, a large Porsche also arrived. The Porsche customer got his bags carried in, and a senior member of staff book them in. We went to the front desk, having carried our own bags and was checked in by a surly member of staff who said very little apart from asking for our name and if we wanted breakfast. He slapped the keycard on the counter and that was it. We asked where the lift was and he waved an arm to the left as he continued with something else. We got to the lift and pressed the floor level. Nothing happened and then the doors opened. The senior member of staff who had checked Mr.Porsche in told us that we needed to touch our keycard to a sensor for the lift to work. I also noticed he had Mr.Porsche's bags with him. So, instead of being given a little bit of help and information from the front desk, we ended up being very dismayed. Our room was on the 8th floor, just below the outdoor restaurant. Through till 1:30am, customers dragged the metal chairs back and forth. Then, from before 7am, the staff rearranged the chairs for the breakfast customers. As we were only there for 2 nights, we realised after the checking in issues, we thought we'd get nowhere. After that, things improved. The staff the next morning were a delight, and very helpful. And when we left our bags were loaded into the taxi.

The hotel is a nice discovery and a modern interior with a heritage exterior. Even the parking is underground that takes your car on an elevator. I enjoyed the facilities except a few downs. One is they don’t have an iron in the room, even the one they brought on request didn’t work. The housekeeping was requested to do the cleaning towards the evening but they didn’t show up.

We asked for two plates and cutleries, cutleries were clean but the plates looked as if they didn’t wash them.

Overall a positive stay.

Lovely staff and good shower.

The staff at Fairway Colombo are lovely! They always greet you with a smile and try to accommodate any requests. For me they put me in a quieter room away from street noise and allowed me late check out. Unfortunately there was some construction work going on, on the roof, which did disturb me a little, and my room smelt slightly damp when I entered as a result of what I assumed was split water on the carpet, this dried out overnight and the next day the room smelt fine. The rooms themselves are very nice and the shower is amazing! Despite the construction noise and wet carpet I enjoyed my stay at Fairway and would recommend it for a short stay.

We flew into Colombo and reserved a pickup through the hotel. Although we were almost an hour late our driver was there awaiting us. Vehicle was clean and comfortable and the drive into the city uneventful. Upon arrival at the hotel we were made to feel more than welcome, checking was quick and we were shown to our room. Although it was smaller than most we have stayed in it was very clean and not rundown in appearance. The staff was more than helpful in providing an explanation if the area and directions to various places in the vacinity. Checkout was equally easy and transport made available to the cruise port. Anyone planning a trip to Colombo I would definitely recommend staying here.

Very good hotel in central location

We stayed here on two separate occasions. We found the desk staff very good and the rooms are clean and comfortable. We would like to see the hotel remove the small plastic cups of water in the room and replace with a filtered water fountain on each floor. Overall a good place to stay and very close to The Ministry of Crab. With regards to the restaurant, it is a tacky, bleak environment with awful food for breakfast. After 2 weeks travelling around the island, this was by far the worst food we had. Room service is food from the ordinary cafe next door. Apart from the Ministry, access to nearby good food is a challenge.

Fortunately the card company didn't;t process the payment. However, the hotel insisted on me paying the full amount (10 days) during check in. The hotel is more interested in charging everything than on providing guest services. The breakfast which charges USD 10 is unimaginative and poor services. If not for the location surrounded by restaurants and pubs, I wouldn't suggest this hotel

All in all a great place to stay and located well for Galle Face. My family are Sri Lankan and what struck me was the ridiculous prices for Tuk Tuks outside the hotel, one offered a ride for 1,000 rupees, but reduced to 800 when i laughed. The ride if you walked to the main road and grabbed one would be 300 to 500. So that annoyed me. The food choice for breakfast was somewhat disappointing. They do not serve full English or even half English.
The hotel itself is pretty basic, very clean and the staff will go out of there way for you, which is why i rate them so highly. It was a much lower cost alternative to the major hotels in Galle Face, but I am glad we stayed here and I would stay again.
Well located to access the Galle Face Mall and all it has to offer, 15 mins walk or 15 minutes my Tuk Tuk.
The hotel is tightly packed in between a plethora of buildings and can be difficult to find on the little one way single car streets, but s said it is in a great location.

The best thing about the Fairway is the location in Colombo Fort just behind the Dutch Hospital. It is very good value for money and offers a reasonable degree of comfort for a short stay in Colombo. There is an addition to the hotel that is currently under construction which includes a pool, which will be nice.

The rooms are comfortable- ours overlooked the Dutch Hospital and the World Trade Center. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were a bit soft for my liking. There was relatively few surfaces to put things down- the writing desk is tiny. It also doesn't have a power outlet that can be used by a laptop or a mobile phone charger-these are on the bedside tables- rather strange! The bathroom is fine but has a funny sloped vanity around the washbasin- a bit hard if you want to put out toiletries.

The staff are pleasant and helpful and interact very well with guests. The one real negative is the lack of a proper restaurant- the 'food court' where the buffet breakfast is served just isn't very nice. And the Java Lounge coffee house next door has terrible food- a very poor selection even for a morning coffee or muffin.

We would definitely stay at the Fairway again as it is so centrally located and offers good accommodation at very reasonable prices.

The hotel is very well located, clean, modern and comfortable.

Very strategic location. super close to dutch hospital where Ministry of Crab located. Easy check in, clean room. Nice breakfast. 4000 SLK for airport shutter one way is resonable.

minus:
waited ard 30 mins to get the pin code to purchase on demand movie and for 1,000 SLK. The movie lists are nice but the quality of the signals is bad. We need to replay every 10 mins.

As mentioned when booking about Silver and VIP benefits, we received 25USD but reception told me that it only allow to use at casino! which is not in the hotel!
