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

The room was very big and light, which is very important in SL, cos In a lot of other hotels the lightning was very poor - rather depressive to my mind. The owners are nice and helpful, the location is the best you can get in town. Was very satisfied with my stay there. More

Rampart View is a great place. Family run and located next to the southern wall, it offers great views, fantastic value and a warm welcome. We’d emailed ahead of time for the booking and there was no problem, even though we arrived in the morning. The family welcomed us in and showed us to the room. The room is an... More

The owners are very friendly and made us feel very welcome. The location is perfect - climbing the stairs to the roof to watch the sunset is a must! More

We stayed here last year and thought it was great. We returned to the same smiling faces and family atmosphere. Rauf and his family are extremely accomodating. The Fort area is one of the best experiences in sri Lanka and going to aplace like Rampart View adds to the experience. It has the BEST location in the Fort. One cannot... More
