Martini Hotel

8/10 Good

"We were offered a newly refurbished room for an extra 15 eu per night. The room was modest with no storage other than 6 hangers however it was very clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated and had coffee/ tea facilities. The staff were mostly pleasant and the breakfast was average. We went to try the restaurant but the head of the restaurant was extremely rude so much so that we had to leave from anger at his behaviour and go elsewhere. He later instructed the bar staff to close the bar when some German guests were becoming a bit loud instead of asking them to tone it down so once again we had to go elsewhere. I have stayed at the Martini many times and hope to return again in the future but this member of staff left us with an unpleasant memory on this occasion"
