Merlin guesthouse was great, the staff were all very friendly and helpful, they checked each day if we wanted our room cleaned. The room was a good size, with a comfortable bed. Bathroom was a wet room, but kept very clean. Location was good, short walk to many bars/restaurants and the hop on hop off tourist bus had a stop just round the corner.

Strategic location, close to the bus stop. For older people, climbing to the upper floors is a bit tricky due to the steep stairs. Otherwise, it's quite good.

At the beginning of check in, I got a room on the 3rd floor, when I opened it, it turned out that the room had been used by someone else and had not been tidied up again. Then the receptionist moved me to a room on the 1st floor, the room was more spacious, but the floor was dirty as if it had not been swept, there was only 1 lamp so it was not bright enough. The bathroom was clean, only they didn't provide a toothbrush and no mineral water. Hopefully in the future more attention will be paid to the cleanliness of the room. Oh yes, in the room there is a direction of the Qibla and prayer mats and mukena for Muslims.
