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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This hotel's terrace is the perfect spot to see sunset in Galle. The room is quite big but not very new.
8.0
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!
