Detailed Reviews
I am a regular guest at this hotel and each time they seem to surpass the previous experience, from check in, to room atmosphere and level of cleanliness to the gorgeous breakfast buffet and dinner meals with great food choices.
Many thanks to Mr. Siva and the great team at Fair View for making my stay a very pleasant one.
This time, I was fortunate to try out the Crab Curry with Roast Pan Dinner option and what a splendid choice it turned out to be....easily the best crab dish I ever had that in my life... Pictures attached. Pls try them out as they are specially sourced from the Nilavali Lagoon. Meaty, fresh and cooked in a rich aromatic spicy masala dry sauce..
I will be returning!

We were there only for dinner and overnight stay before starting our Sri-Lankan round trip. As we were the first tourists from Europe after the covid-19-period, we were welcomed very warmly. The food was very well prepared and beautifully served. After the night in a nice bed (read: the best bed I slept in for a long time), the breakfast buffet had much choice both in curries, breads and fruits. Thanks for having us!

Huge rooms reasonably priced. I had a 1 night stopover in Colombo and I am so glad I opted for this hotel. Walking distance to the shops and restaurants on Galle Road and also a short distance to the beach and Wellawatte Station. The extensive breakfast buffet included both Asian and continental options and the onsite restaurant offers a good selection of dishes for lunch and dinner. This hotel will always be my first choice on future visits to Colombo and thanks to everyone there for their friendliness and professionalism.

When you arrive in fairview, you look at a hotel that has a new feel - strong Cinnamon smell. Check in was fluent. Rooms are Nice! Beds are great quality, bathrooms was clean!
Missing, balcony... Pool!
Breakfast was underwelming, boiled egg, fruit.
A lot of Sweet, and a lot of spicy.. seems that they are not used to tourists to prepare a Continental breakfast.
International call, to help not possible if you are outside they cant call you to assist.
Excursions: Can we do a trip? No we dont provide that service.
Location was ok, 30min from Colombo and 20min from mount lavinia..the only place around Colombo where you can go to the beach..
IT was mostly underwelming..

The bedrooms are comfortable, but the neighborhood noise was loud enough to keep us up at night. There are two music establishments nearby that made us get out the earplugs. The buffet dinner was cold for the 4 nights we were there, and one night the dessert was jello with a bit of fruit. There was little variety in the food, but it was fun to be in a roof top setting. On the positive side, the location is convenient and the staff were helpful and friendly.
