    Good to be aware that The Martello does not provide a 'typical' breakfast. The food is off menu and is excellent, but be aware that the typical hotel offerings of cereal, fruit etc is not available. No parking at the hotel but plenty of on street paid parking but cheap at €5.00 for 24 hours. Our room was up 3 flights of stairs and top step on the 2nd flight definitely needs to be looked at, or at least highlighted, that it is a deeper step than the rest. I tripped on it twice and anyone with mobility issues may have issues.

    Excellent, friendly staff. Superb location - easy to reach by car and Dublin easily accessible by the DART just 5 minute walk from the hotel. Great location for concerts etc in Dublin.

    We did ask for a room on a lower floor and while the room was new, clean and comfortable- there was additional construction underway with a jackhammer that never seemed to stop.. seems like they should not have offered this room if the floor was still under construction. A few stairs would have been preferable.

    Loved the location and the breakfast that was included.

    I rang the reception to say that I left my purse in the room. And they said if they found it they will let me know, but they didn't ring to say either they did or did not.

    The breakfast was fab, the location was great. The staff were very friendly.

    We found it difficult to use the air conditioning. It was a noisy night, but it was Friday evening on our second evening. Noisy in the morning, but that was because our room was close to the kitchen.

    Great location, close to public transport, clean, comfortable, friendly staff

    I regret to mention that my experience was marred by the noise level in the room I was assigned, Room 124. This room is situated near a railway track, a busy roadside, and what seemed to be a bin collection area. As a light sleeper, the continuous noise from these sources made it challenging for me and my friends to get a good night's sleep during our stay. It is worth noting that this room may be suitable for individuals who are not sensitive to external sounds while sleeping.

    It was a pleasure to stay at Martello Hotel during my recent trip. The service, staff, and facilities provided were truly exceptional, making our overall experience delightful. The cleanliness of the hotel was impeccable, and the staff members were friendly and accommodating throughout our stay.

    We didn't realise there was a nightclub attached to the hotel when booking. But when we said this at reception the staff were kind enough to put us as far away from the noise as possible.

    The staff were amazing and so friendly The location is great as its right on the beach front The food was beautiful
