Merlin Hotel George Town

Merlin Hotel (16 September 2014)


Merlin Hotel (GPS: 5.419405, 100.341760) is a hotel along Union Street in George Town, Penang. It is housed in a 4-storey Early Modern-style building that wraps around the corner between Union and Penang Streets. Although much of the façade is on Union Street, the address is on Penang Street.

For many years, Merlin Hotel is synonymous with the Merlin Hotel Nasi Kandar stall that operates from the coffee shop on the group floor. In late 2014, the hotel underwent refurbishing. It now offers 16 rooms with flat-screen television and wifi connectivity. The rooms are clean and are ideal for those wanting to be in the inner city of George Town. Merlin Hotel is within the World Heritage Site, and close to many of the tourist attractions there. Those coming by car can park at the hotel parking space, which is next to the hotel.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
