There was a pool but no lifts so if you are bringing elderly it may be a bit tiresome for them. Overall ok.

Merlin Inn Hotel is a cozy and affordable place to stay if you're planning a trip to Tioman Island or exploring Mersing town. The location is strategic—just a short drive to the jetty and close to shops and eateries in town. The staff are friendly, polite, and always ready to help with a smile, which adds a warm touch to the stay.
The room is clean and well-maintained, with essential amenities provided such as air conditioning, water heater, towels, and a water dispenser nearby. However, do note that toothbrushes and toothpaste are not included, so bring your own. The bed is comfortable, and the overall environment is quiet, making it suitable for light sleepers.
A useful tip: request a room on the first floor for a better internet connection. The Wi-Fi tends to be stronger there compared to the upper floors.
Parking is available right in front of the hotel, which is convenient for those driving. Overall, Merlin Inn is a simple, no-frills stay that delivers good value, friendly service, and a strategic location for both transit and short stays in Mersing.

The hotel facilities are a bit old. However, efforts have been put in to keep the outlook looking nice.
It is unique to keep the building old-fashioned to let seniors recall the old days.

This old hotel sits on a hill far from the town itself. Convenient only if you have a car. It has no lift so you have to climb stairs if you are on the second or third floor.
The room itself is clean but the toilet needs improvement.
The hotel room is fitted with both aircon and fan. The furniture is really old. Wifi is available in room. Bring your own toiletries as the hotel provides only 2 tiny soap bars and a bottle of shampoo. The room I stayed in has a balcony overlooking the swimming pool. There is aTV but can only access 3 channels - Okey, TV3 and a Chinese one.
