This is a great little budget guesthouse right at the southern end of Galle Fort with a beautiful view out to sea. The breakfast, which was served on the balcony, was really good (omelette, tea, fruit, toast etc...). The room was basic and clean, yes it could be fresher, but it was fine for us. The nice staff arranged a... More

We stayed one night and fully appreciated this gh. Room was clean, good service, excellent localization in Galle. The only minus is the bathroom, that isn't really fresh. You can enjoy the beautiful view from the roof. To conclude, good address!

This guesthouse doesn't have a lot to offer besides very nice owners, clean rooms and a pretty good location right inside the fort looking out at the ocean. You can also see the lighthouse from the property which is good. It can be amusing at times as highly curious Lankas watch you eat breakfast on the balcony as they go... More

Tucked away on the ramparts is Rampart View Guest House, is may not be the most modern of guest houses but it definitely make up with friendliness of Mr and Mrs Rauf and their family. We were made so welcome and the could not do more to make us feel settled in their home. The rooms are spacious and clean... More

This is an OK transit hotel. The owners are extremely kind and they provided a fabulous breakfast. The hotel itself is very tired, in dark colours and a bit grubby. There were mosquito and cockroaches in the bathroom. However the tick-list is all there, air conditioning, hot water, a fan, a mosquito net and mosquito coil. The location is excellent... More

A great location, a short distance from the busy Fort area and couple minutes walk from the lighthouse where there are many nice restaurants. The room is good but the bathroom is a bit run down. But apart from that, with free wi-fi (in your own room) and view of the fort walls and ocean for breakfast, it's pretty good... More
