Good things: Location, Clean Rooms, Free Wifi Bad Things: Poor room service, Complimentary breakfast not quite good. Staff not very helpful except one or two. Needs renovation. More

Looking a little tired, and rooms stark and lacking furniture and 'warmth'. On a very busy road and near the red light area, we were told; but little evidence immediatley around. More down in the beach area if that is what you want!! Get a room at the back if possible to reduce noise. Staff friendly and pool area ok,... More

The location is great, you can really walk to the beach, but too old hotel, need some renovation. Staff was very noisy in the morning with cleaning equipments. Elefator didn't work right. Wouldn't like to stay again. More

Have been staying at this hotel, two to three night on sixth floor street side room. Room was small, the pillows were awful, no shampoo in bathroom and…. NO hot water most of the time. That is unacceptable!!! Staff wasn’t very friendly and helpful when I ask about direction to some place. Nothing special. What I like in that hotel... More

It's clean and everything works fine. It has free high speed Internet (one of best I've ever seen at hotels - I... More

Seconds away from the beach, Merlin has a nice little pool and rooftop bar with a great view down the road to the beach. Spacious rooms, but nothing special. Only soap provided is an all purpose hand/body/hair shampoo in a dispenser in the shower and next to the sink. It was exactly what I needed at the time, a hot... More

Been there for two nights. Extreemly good location, just 5 minutes walk from the Copacabana strip. But the hotel itself is in a dire need for renovation, rooms big but very poor. First time in many years that I didn't find a Shampoo in my room. Excellent breakfast. More
