Pleasant staff, clean room with good facilities including bath robes, slippers, nice shower and bath amenities. Free mini bar was appreciated. Comfortable pillows and bed linen. Great location near the main railway station and tram stop. Lovely breakfast area and selection of food. All in all an excellent stay and would definitely return. And free water and snack on checking out was a nice touch. Free travel card which also could be used on bus to the airport. Fantastic service.

Not only was our room super clean and comfortable, but the staff truly is the shining star. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. They go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable and will assist you with any help you need - from finding where your riverboat is docked to helping you with finding but eventually replacing your lost phone. Will be highly recommending Hotel Marthof to friends and will return. Cannot thank them enough!
