Merlin Grand Hotel

Decent accommodation for the price. Strange location a bit out of the way. Staff were efficient but got a bit of grief when departing as I had to convince the receptionist that she didn’t issue me with a receipt for the compulsory deposit they took off me on arrival. They returned it eventually after some time, but I was flustered & subsequently got into the taxi without my suitcase (my fault but still say because I was distracted) I had to pay 2000 baht to have it delivered to the quayside as I was taking a boat to Koh Lipe. Very annoying & expensive which kind of soured my stay.

Love the friendly staff at reception. She was polite and willing to our request for early check-in. Room though dated, is clean. Bedsheets and towels are clean.

The staff is so nice.then can talk english and malay too. They allow us ti checkin early

The room is spacious, bed is comfortable, has small fridge, TV many channels, located in the town near the train station.

location strategic... very suitable especially for couple
