Loved the host welcoming us and take such a good care of me and friends.

Amazon Sri Lanka

Host Madeeha is a very sweet person and a pleasant talker. The place has a homely atmosphere with amazingly beautiful surroundings overlooking the sea.

Maruf-uz-zaman Bangladesh

Our room opened to the most beautiful sea view. It was a nice brightly coloured room, perfect for a holiday. I loved that we could walk everywhere from the hotel, and when next morning I woke up to cool breezy balcony and local people doing their morning walks/runs and a group of guys playing cricket on the field.

A small Hotel right by the ocean ...Lovely renovated old building... Sea view from all area in the hotel. Simple but nice decoration. The room also have hair dryer 😁..

Amornrat Thailand

Gorgeous view and adorable little rooms, very good location if you want to explore the Old Fort in the evening.

Chris Thailand

Breakfast was lovely, location was amazing. Views from the room of the sea. Staff were helpful - WiFi worked well. Room was beautiful. Very clean and hot water. Beautiful old building but modern facilities.

Aisling United Kingdom

The best part about Rampart View is the location, as it is so close to the beach, inside the fort, and just a few steps from the lighthouse. The view of the fort's surrounding wall and ocean from the hotel balcony is really beautiful and unique.

William United States of America

Wonderful location. Great roof top for drinks or dinner for watching the sunset. The staff was so helpful. Tea upon arrival or any other time. Very concerned about anything you needed. Upgraded our room for free. Arranged a Tuk tuk tour at a discount at a moments notice. The service was as good or better than 5 star hotels we have stayed in.

Mathew United States of America

The location is superb. Value for money as its located within the Galle fort, overlooking the rampart and open seas. The open roof top sitting to enjoy dinner or drinks is awesome. Room is small but clean. Its in an old building rows, so do not expect a spacious place. Love the calming sound of waves before falling asleep.

Siti Malaysia

Welcome tea was awesome and beatiful view. Everything was good.
