once agian we stayed here, it was our first time back in three years to this hotel and its still as good as ever. Could do with a bit off a paint job here and there but over all its was great. We convinced our friends and there three teenagers to stay there as well and they had a ball.... more

My partner & I booked here just for one night cause we weren't sure what to expect, with the intention of extending our stay if it was what we were looking for. It wasnt. Although the pools are fantastic & big and there are plenty of deck chairs around, that was about the only good thing. The staff were not... more

Situated in the perfect location, close to the beach, shops and Bangla road...what more could you ask for!!

A friend and i stayed here for 14 nights and would highly recommend looking for a different hotel. It comes across as a beautiful hotel it has lovely pool and its very close to everything. The breakfast is great but I had $3500.00 stolen from credit card a couple months after staying here. It was the only place a used... more

Comparing to what we saw on the internet this hotel was not that great in real life. Overpriced compared to similar hotels which are in a better location on Patong beach. The hotel is quite old and a bit run down. The AC in the room is VERY slow to cool down and the pillows are hard and not comfortable.... more

We have just returned from 10 nites staying at the Merlin Patong. We had 2 interconnecting in the 3rd building, rooms 3308 & 3310 which overlooked the middle pool.
