Friendly staff. Old hotel that needs lots of upgrades. It was advertised as a 4-star hotel, but truly a 3-star or 2.5 star. Restaurant quality is poor for lunch or dinner, very sad place. Dirty room, got an upgraded room after complaining, but the rest of the hotel was not a comfirtable stay. I really wanted to cancel my reservation, as this was a special trip from America investing time and money for a low quality experience.

エントランス、エレベーター内がかび臭いが許せる

部屋は気になるほど、かび臭くは無いのに入り口がかび臭いのは気になる。でも毎日の部屋の掃除は丁寧。 朝食はまあまあ。でもこの価格では文句は言えない。 気が向くと最後にフルーツが出る、5泊で2回出た。 ホテル名は地元の人はマーリンと言っているので、タクシーにメルリンホテルと言っても行く時通じず困った。 でも、ローカルバスのバス停がすぐそばなので、買い物、食事などに便利だった。

Disappointing for star hotel in Phuket town

For a four star hotel very disappointing. Intermittent internet, no hot water for shower in the morning, room was very tired looking, the only plus point was we only booked for one night.

Quiet place to stay.

The hotel is old but very well kept. The room was large and comfortable. It had a tub and in room safe and fridge. The pool is big and quiet. There is not much to do near the hotel. There are a couple of museums close by and dining places and a few massage places. The breakfast was great and dinner was good. As in most restaurants in Thailand, don't expect your meals to come to the table at the same time. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

In need of renovations

The hotel is old and it shows. Pretty much everything is in really bad condition and dirty. The staff can't a lick of English and therefore they ignore you as far as they can. The one good thing is the restaurant Ratta, which had very good service and good food.

stay,Else where

If you need to stay where the front line staff, speak English. Stay some where else. if you need true in what there web site reads, don't believe this hotel web site, While the words may have been true at one time, i stayed their for ten days in early Jan 2017,the words used in the hotel web site. Do not ring true if you need hotel speaking English staff, Require food area for breakfast to meet Mid - High standard, so if your standard is Low, then they may meet that. if you want your fry egg to be 55% cooked only then you are on a winner. The hotel in general needs a good Reno, the main guest that stayed at the hotel while i was their, were Thai. The sister hotel on the other side of the Island, is the hotel to stay at. I when there to arrange tours and other stuff. So if i travel to Phuket again, I would arrange to stay at Merlin in Patong.

English

If you come here do not expect staff to under stand English, as a 2nd or 3rd lang. As to advice about what to do, forget it. I had to go to the sister hotel in Patong for this advice. So if you do not speak Thai, go to Paying hotel. There web site has lots of miss info, so be aware this.
