Best Western Hotel Martello

FRAUD WARNING!!! The Hotel Martello - Lampedusa has committed a financial fraud to me. They have never returned my credit card deposit of 800eur despite me paying 400eur for my 4 night stay directly at the reception of the hotel on May 13th, 2023! So by collecting the direct payment for my stay on top of keeping my online booking deposit, they collected 3 times more than my room rate! I requested several times the refund of the deposit - without success. They simply stopped responding to my emails! I've opened an official fraud case through my credit card operator and I'm in the process of suing this hotel for this fraud.

Hotel is just at perfect spot at the harbor. Staff very friendly. Really helpful, nice, polite, and even i do not speak italian, they try all the best to make me feel welcome. Special thanks to Gianfranco, who was very very very special. Grazie mile per tutto, amici.

The martello is one of the best hotels in Lampedusa. It is still opened for the whole year. The rooms are nice and the beds and the bathroom stay in modern shape. The breakfast is very poor. The restaurant was not opened and there are no room for sport. You are very closely to the habour. But in Lampedusa everything is closely;-) For italian, better for sicilian relations, the Hotel is in a very good condition. Everything is clean and painted.

This is a good hotel by Lampedusa harbour with great sea views from many rooms. It's close enough to walk to the town for restaurants and shops. Don't expect luxury, but the rooms are spacious and clean with balconies. Ask for room 224 if you want a view. The double aspect views over the harbour are stunning (see photo) and there is a large balcony. Rooms on the other side have a view over the sea and a pretty bay (with a sandy beach). The view is a little more distant but still pleasant. It's a 5 minute walk to the small beach where the waters are amazingly clear - a stunning turquoise colour. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The wifi was free - yes it was slow, but faster than other places I have stayed in Lampedusa. As it's a remote island, if you want fast wifi you've come to the wrong place. Breakfast was ok with a buffet of bread, cheese, prunes and yoghurt. They also offered eggs and fruit - pears, banana or apples. The hotel was excellent value for money. A good place to stay on this beautiful island.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff, the cleanliness was incredible and we had a nice view from the balcony. Bathroom was spacious, clean and with a nice shower.The bus stop that goes to spiagga dei conigli was jus outside the hotel. Some things that could be improved...: The breakfast, which was not good and did not offer much, although a very nice thing is that they make their own yoghurt. The sleep quality could also be improved( but I am very picky with beds and this one was not too comfortable, it was too hard and one could feel the structure of the springs too). The sound isolation in the rooms was poor, during our stay it was quiet as there were few guest but I can imagine that during a high season it becomes an issue. However I would really recommend this hotel for your stay in Lampedusa! Before we decided for this one we went to see several others and I must say this is the one we like the most and for Lampedusa this standard is quite unique, very high and nice!
