Stayed for one night and payed for a superiour room which was not that much more expensive. Room was clean and fresh, staff very nice and breakfast good. Location is nice, easy to get to several restaurants and the neighbouring pub with a large assortment of beer and whiskey. To sum it up: No frills hotel which was worth its... More

Nice hotel, friendly and helpful personnel and great location in the city center. But be aware that some rooms can be disturbed by music/noise from pubs and restaurants nearby. If you want to have something quiet, ask for a room facing Norre Park.

First Hotel Mårtensson has two great features: The location and its friendly and helpful staff. The rest is a huge disappointment. Though the hotel appears esthetically appealing from the street, it is worn down and downright ugly indoors, with its depressing corridors and small, stained, dusty and very bad lit rooms. The worst of it all was the bathroom with... More

I have stayed at Hotel Mårtensson three times the past few years and this August stay was no different from the previous ones. The rooms are clean and spacious and included is free internet and a good breakfast. There is a small fridge in the rooms which is very good! The hotel has nice and helpful staff. When we arrived...

The best feature of Hotel Martenson is its location. Positioned in one end of the main entertainment street in Halmstad the positions is hard to beat. The rooms however is not of the same standard. The bathrooms are old and the tiles on the walls often have cracks or other defects. Quite often the bathroom doesn't have an water overflow... More

Good location, but don't stay here when it's warm. We found poor ventilation and no a/c. Also got a frequent whiff of sewer in the bathroom, which we found to be smallish. Try another place. We wouldn't return.

This is a nice location, however the hotel is no frills 4 stars, and I would give it a 2 star. The Staff is very friendly and helpful but the hotel itself could use a fluff. The adjoining restaurant can be a noise problem late into the night. If soccer game is on, you are not going to sleep much.... More

I have stayed here multiple times the last year. Martenson is a hotel which gives me mixed feelings. Some things are great, other somewhat annoying. This is basically a kind of smallish 3+++ hotel. I belive 103 rooms. No minibar in the room. However a fridge that can be stocked by yourself. Rooms can be a bit on the smaller... More

Nicely situated hotel with a nearby free parking (in the week-ends). Marketed as a four stared hotel but the truts is far from. Helpful staff at the reception but the rest of the hotel doesn't live up to the four stars. Small (or rather narrow) room with a narrow (but really comfortable) bed. The bathroom was nice. The channels in... More
