Patong Merlin Hotel - Patong

Decent hotel with excellent location. Short walking distance to Bangla Road and the beach. Nice pools, although usually pretty crowded, more sunbeds needed. Hotel complex has 7 different buildings, I had a room from building 7, which is the worst located I think. Long distance to walk from the lobby. Room was ok with small problems. Shower was partly broken. Only 2 watchable English speaking channels from TV, and the other one (BBC) went dead after a few days.

Poor wifi in room

We stayed 9 days an enjoyed the experience

If you considere what you get for your money so it is definitely one of the best hotels in Patong. The hotel needs maintenance but the pools are good the rooms clean. I recommend to stay in rooms on the 2nd and 3rt floors if you want to see the pool. The bathrooms dont have real door but and sliding one and you will not have the privacy you expect. But if you considere the good breakfast, the very good location and the quality of the pool, the restaurant on front of the beach and the price than it is definitely worth every dollar.

Hotel staff were helpful but has lost the Thai touch as the Thai welcome for breakfast etc. just a small thing but adds to the feeling. Housekeeping staff are very helpful and friendly. Beds are good but the pillows are like rocks..
