The Merlin

Great place

Staff great foom excellent location spot on great place

Clean/comfy beds,towels,budget priced,hot water in shower&spotless. Staff were friendly,great Pool table&was decorated for festive season which nade it look cosy Was slightly cold in the bar area but tgat was it

Located in a good spot, but the major problem we had was the mattress was so worn out that it was unsleepable we booked a different room in a different hotel just so we could get a decent sleep.. The room we had was right at the top of the building, the second issue was the room that we had. Didn’t have any working heating or windows that lock so the room was like a freezer.

The room smelt was wee on the sink in shared bathroom I didn’t stay I found another hotel was there less then a hour

It was good it was a good night stay

nice king size bed.... bed sheet was stained...... nowhere to put ur clothes . no cuboards no wardrop . tv didnt work. no towel or soap in room. yes it was cheap .... suppose u only get what u pay for.

Staff were nice,get what you pay for,confortable bed,onsweet bathroom ,good shower ,all good easy walk to everything

Only stayed one night instead of two never had refund

This place is disgusting and we want a refund,black mold on the walls,filthy carpets and walls,bare wires everywere,everything is the cheapest of the cheap, dog hsirs everywere of their dog,refuse,faeces and every other kind of waste strewn around the property..it shoukd be knocked down its that bad

Had i very nice welcome and my room was just right well stay there again

Definitely one of those where you get what you pay for. Cheap and cheerful. Definitely needs a good tidy up in terms of decoration but was clean hygiene wise and honestly the comfiest bed I’ve stayed in in a while.

the room was to small limited dining

For £20 for me and a m8 for one night you can't complain really, but they need to get new beds or mattresses, they were bloody torture, I didn't get much sleep.

A little shabby, but thats to be expected at such low prices - friendly & helpful and the bed was really comfy which is the main thing really!

It’s a room at the end of the day. If u want amazing go to Dubai or something.

this was a terrible place, stayed 4 days and got covered in bites from the bed bug infested dirty bed. place is dirty, outdated and needs a complete overhaul to be even satisfactory.

Stay was good bar area in my eyes is to dark and dingy the staff all overly friendly

The couple who worked there were lovely, couldnt fault them at all. For a SUPER budget hotel the amenities in the room were surprising. Free tea and coffee and a kettle, a TV. Soap, towels, were all really unexpected but a great addition. Location is brilliant, just off the main centre so quiet enough to be just outside the action for a quiet nights sleep (as long as the people in the rooms next to you SHUT UP!) Over all, pleasant for £17 a night. The ONLY thing I would say is watch out for bed bugs :'( we found one and a few blood stains on the bedding. (Id sleep in a bin bag it doesnt bother me) But for those who are precious about this, just be aware :) The matress was a bit hard too but like I said, 17 im not expecting a cloud.

the shared shower was filthy and would of taken well over an hour of cleaning to get it up to any standard of use. Also there was no sink to wash your hands after using toilet so your hands would remain unwashed until you got back to your room. the bannisters couldn't possibly be sanitised as all guests would have had to use it with unwashed hands after toilet. Nasty.
