It's in an OK place to stay. We had the superior room and were quite shocked when they said it's the best they have. Doesn't reflect a 3-star hotel to me but it's located in the centre and has a friendly staff. OK breakfast- buffet.

The rooms of the fifth floor are much better, modern and cozier than those of the second(the two floors I stayed on). The breakfast is excellent. The staff is very helpfull and friendly. The thing I liked the most was the cleanliness and the rooms have an iron for those in need to take care of their clothes. The heating... More

On a rainy day in September arrived in the quite city of Halmstad the hotel staff was receiving us very friendly at the reception. The rooms we got are ok, but don't have a touch of First Class like the name of the hotel group implieds. As the restaurant next to the hotel had a noisy music night we decided... More

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights. Our room was clean but could use an update and a fresh coat of paint. Our bed was soft and saggy so I didn't sleep very well. On the bright side, the staff was wonderful and the breakfasts were fabulous! The selection of fresh foods was impressive and delicious.

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.

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

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
