Lovely area. A/C in room didn’t work well, noticed a standing fan in room as a temporary fix. Would’ve liked them to give us a heads up before moving all of our luggage in though. Receptionist provided inaccurate information regarding the entrance fee for the club. Otherwise it was alright.

Why?
When I tried to buy a drink at the bar at 19:45 on the Sunday, I was refused "because we don't serve walk-ins after 7:00" despite the fact that the bar was open and I proved that I was a resident. The reason given was that they need to clean the bar for the following Friday!. They were serving locals.

We booked for an apartment. Carpet was quite dirty. No table or chair for breakfast or dinner. It could sleep 4 people but 2 have to sleep in the living room. Apartment was behind the DART line so could hear all the trains. But this is very well situated right in front of the sea. Breakfast was not included for us but we took it in the pub and it was quite good. Staff was good and efficient. Good for a short stay

I don't usually write reviews but I loved my stay at the Martello so much. Check in was easy and the staff was lovely. Parking was very easy and not far at all -- I was also able to find parking easily both nights I stayed there. The restaurant at Martello was incredible too -- I had the best short rib I've ever had and was so happy with everything from start to finish. 10/10 reccomend!!
