Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Phuket Merlin Hotel is conveniently located near shops, bars, nightlife, and within walking distance of Phuket Old Town. Guests appreciate the spacious rooms, some featuring king-size beds, blackout curtains, bathtubs, and mountain views, in addition to practical amenities like a fridge and safe. The pool area is another highlight, though access is via ladder; some guests have mentioned that the hotel is starting to show its age, but the breakfast at 250 baht offers a good choice to the guests.
