The room was perfect for my week staying in the fort. Mohammad was an amazing host. And
Mr SJ
This was a comfortable stay in an ideal spot overlooking the city rampart. The owners were welcoming and helpful. The ensuite was a little basic but we were comfortable enough and enjoyed the stay. Very good value for money. Our thanks to the owners.
Bente
Friendly owners, clean room, comfortable bed, superb location for watching the sunset
Marie
Friendly staff, clean, bright airy room with seating outside on the veranda with a rooftop area to watch the sunset.
Duncan
This is not a fancy hotel. It’s a guesthouse in the best possible location, run by nice people and with soft, clean linens and towels. Worth it for the sunset views alone.
Jason
It’s a fantastic place to stay. The staff are terrific, the views are excellent. Good food.

Basic Guesthouse in ideal location
Basic guesthouse right by the fort wall and close to everything in Galle fort. The owners were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was great. It could do with a lick of paint and refurbishment which were make it a much nicer place to stay.
Verified traveler
We booked a room here and after paying for it they told us the property was full and we would need to stay somewhere else. It took them over 2 months to finally get me the refund
Lisa
Location is great, but that’s all for the price.
The best part about staying at this small in is it’s location, central and right on the fortress, however, dont expect a view from your window, just your front door.
The room was tidy with very good air conditioning, however, the shower wasn’t exactly warm and a bit confusing to use. It’s 2 and 1/2 star accomodation, and what i paid i thought was quite expensive for this standard.

Perfect location and great service!
Boutique guesthouse with rooftop terrace overlooking the sea, perfect for watching the sunset over Galle Fort. The rooms are basic but clean with everything you need and the service was excellent. The staff could not do enough for us, and I highly recommend asking for a Sri Lankan breakfast (beware, it’s spicy!). The hotel location right on the rampart of the fort is perfect, and the sound of the waves at night is all you will hear as it’s very quiet. Galle itself is a beautiful little town with lots of great eateries and shops. You can while away your days here, or head down the coast to some of the fantastic beaches that are only half an hour away. Loved our time at the Rampart and would definitely stay here again.
Susan
Overpriced view
This guesthouse is very overpriced for what you get. It is only 4 rooms and looks over the Ramparts and I imagine the owners think they will charge what they think silly people will pay. The photos on the website are better than reality. We paid AUS $272 for 2 nights or around 16,300 rupiah per night. Having stayed in a number of guesthouses and hotels in Sri Lanka I would expect far better quality for the price. The bedroom was servicable with A/C and fan, reasonably bed, 2 side tables & lights and a tiny bathroom with a shower which had bad water pressure. There was a dirty sink in an alcove to the side of the bedroom. Upon arrival there was a young man who showed us to the room but did not provide any information. The sitting area is on the balcony and we found much later there is a fridge on the balcony which has cold bottles of water. Quite late on the first night we met a Japanese woman who introduced herself and explained about the water and also that we could get tea from the cafe next door, where you would also get breakfast (but not until 8:30am). The Sri Lankan breakfast was good. The continental one I'd skip. After the first night I had to ask for our room to be cleaned (which was done well). They would store luggage on the balcony although it was unclear if someone was there for the whole time. While the view was good for what you paid it was not worth it.There are many other residences in Galle old city and I'd suggest looking elsewhere.

Convenient Locations within Galle Fort
Rampart View Guest House is conveniently located at the southern end, near Flag Rock, of historical Galle Fort in Galle, Sri Lanka. Although the rooms are basic and a bit rustic, they are well maintained, clean, and comfortable, Hotel rates in Galle are comparatively high for Sri Lanka, and Rampart View Guises House is an economical alternative. The fort area is compact, so the hotel's location provides a good base for walking tours throughout the area. Many nice restaurants are nearby. And, there are many attractive galleries and shops showing off local crafts.
Shane
Fantastic Location & friendly service
Loved it here. Maybe a little busy with for some with the tourists on the ramparts across the road. Great location for exploring the fort town with it's many eating places & small stores & old architecture. The staff were keen to please & friendly.
David
Excellent base for time in Galle
Booked for five nights during Literary Festival, then extended for four more when we realised how much we liked Galle as base for time on south coast.

Lovely hosts. Very convenient location. Best breakfast view overlooking the ramparts!
Erik
Perfect located place
Location could not be better within this World Heritage site. Wonderful roof terrace and very good Sri Lankan breakfast.

Best view in Galle Fort
This hotel's terrace is the perfect spot to see sunset in Galle. The room is quite big but not very new.
Angelo
Fantastic location and staff.
The hotel has a truly fantastic view from its rooms as well as its rooftop terrace. The staff is super happy to help and they make great western & Sri Lankan breakfast. It is a bit on the pricey side for the size of the room and the amenities in my opinion, but the view makes it worth staying for at least 1 night!

Man kan sove der og det var vist det

God beliggenhed med havet ovre på den anden side af vejen. Indgangspartiet var en smal metaldør/plade og stejl trappe op. Pænt rent og sød familie. Helt ok til prisen.
Hiu Lam
great ocean view from the room and the rooftop, perfect spot to watch sunset. the guesthouse is in the heart of the fort where all the shops and restaurants are in walking distance, but at the same time it’s quiet to sleep at night.
Kirsten
Værten var meget imødekommende og fleksibel. Jeg fortalte, hvad jeg ønskede til morgenmad og det fik jeg.
Værten hjalp også med at arrangere en whale watching tur til Marissa.
Udsigten fra Rampart View Guesthouse er virkelig god.
Stedet er en smule slidt, men udsigten er god og værten meget hjælpsom og imødekommende.

C’est un tout petit hôtel (4 chambres). Il ne faut pas s’attendre à une chambre parfaite, mais le site sur le frond de mer, le charme de la maison et la gentillesse des tenanciers compensent largement les petites imperfections.
Leena
Very friendly and service-minded staff, clean rooms and a good breakfast. Simple but well-kept accommodation and a great choice for travellers looking for a pleasant and affordable place to stay.

Bra läge i Fort-området, promenadavstånd till restauranger och sevärdheter. Snabb och enkel incheckning. Tuktuks finns enkelt tillgängliga för transport. Trevlig och serviceinriktad personal.

キレイな夕日を拝める南端のホテル。スタッフのホスピタリティーもgood

古い住宅の２階部分を改装したゲストハウス。旧市街の城壁に面して建っているので、城壁越しにインド洋がよく見えました。屋上は宿泊客に開放されていて、チェアが並べてあってさらに眺望良好でした。旧市街内の宿は値段が高めですが、ここも場所代込みのお値段なのでやや高いです。それでも部屋は清潔で快適だし、スタッフも親切。旧市街のどこにも歩いて便利に行けるので、１泊だけの滞在としては値段も納得しました。朝ご飯は隣接する食堂で出されます。8時からと言われましたが、行ってみたら準備が整ってなくて３０分待たされました。チェックアウトの朝に午後の列車で発つことをスタッフに話したら、若いお兄さんが切符を駅まで買いに走ってくれました。おおむね気持ちよく過ごすことができた宿でした。

ゴール旧市街の突端、インド洋を望むゲストハウス
1泊しました。場所は最高です。ゴール旧市街の突端近くで、目の前に石垣があってインド洋が見えます。ただ普通のホテルというよりは、むしろゲストハウスに近い感覚です。建物は古い木造で、二階のテラスに面して数部屋あるようでした。行ってみたら受付に誰もおらず電話したら、ちょっと出かけていたようですぐに戻ってきましたが、とくに悪びれもせず。よくも悪くも緩い感じで、それを楽しめる方にはとても良いと思います。
部屋はエアコン付きで、シーリングファンもついています。それでも夏は暑いかもしれません。冷蔵庫はありませんでした。お湯は小さな給湯器で沸かすタイプでしたが、一人で浴びる分には問題ありませんでした。屋上は草屋根で眺めは最高です。隣のレストランは同じ経営で、朝食はそこで取りました。卵、トースト、果物と簡単なものでしたが、おいしかったです。

眺めは良い
ホテル並みの値段だが、設備はゲストハウス。ゴールの街は概して値段が高い。街の中心ではなく、夜中は真っ暗だが、眺めは非常に良い。

View and location are excellent. It is in the tourist area. All shops and restaurants are for tourists. We could see see sunset next to the galle fort in the hotel. There was an elephant ice cream sellers nearby all the time. The breakfast is clean and rich. They provide options for traditional Sri Lanka breakfast and English breakfast. The furniture in the room is vintage (You can even tell from the smell). We didn't open the curtain at all because they are next to the corridors. Everyone can see our room is open the curtain. Staff are nice but no place for car parking. Hot water provided in bathroom and air con is sufficient.

家族で経営されてるようで、奥さんはとても親切でごはんもおいしかったです。屋上からの景色は最高で、朝ごはんも海を見ながら食べれてとても気持ちよかったです。

ゴール旧市街にある便利で景観の良いゲストハウス
立地の良さと景観の良さが抜群です。二階から眺める、インド洋に沈む夕焼けが本当に美しかった。
朝ごはんはスリランカ式と英国式が選べましたが、スリランカ式がとても美味しかったので、連日お願いしました。ゆっくりと落ち着いたアットホームな雰囲気が良かったです。
