this is a small hotel but needs to improve on maintenance big time. Dining hall greets you as you enter the hotel and its full of flies and bad smell, probably from the garbage room beside elevator. took a peek in the kitchen and its filthy. linens are stained and dirty linens lying around everywhere in the corridor. If they can maintain it well, this could be an excellent budget hotel.

The Best Fern!

Fern Colombo is such a pleasant hotel to stay in. The central location is perfect and all the staff members during my stay are attentive and helpful. Right from arrival to the hotel up to departure, everything was perfect. The room is spacious, clean shower room and linens and well maintained for a very pleasant stay. Safe neighbourhood and also the hotel is close to many embassies. Will be back soon, Thank you Fern Colombo for making my stay a great one!

Great value for excellent location

This is my go to hotel when I come to Colombo- it’s in an excellent location and the price is really good. Rooms are modern & clean with hot water. Staff are super friendly and helpful. The only feedback would be to update the cafe area- it’s a bit dark and not welcoming, maybe create an open kitchen?

Great place just slow on breakfast

Place was great. But need improvement when it comes to getting breakfast. We asked for it at 7:30am because we needed to get on the road to other places. We did not get it until 8:30. Food was fine just need to have it ready when they say they can. Other than that the place is great.

First stop in Sri Lanka and it didn't disappoint! Friendly staff, high Spec room with the best shower we've had so far, great choice of little cafes and restaurants nearby and out of the hustle and bustle of Colombo city (but still walkable to the Galle Face Promenade In about 20-30mins). Airport shuttle service was fantastic . A great stay
