Toiletries, towels and slippers are provided in the bathroom, and a hair dryer and bathrobes are available in the garden-view rooms. A seating area with a sofa is part of some layouts, and electric kettles are available for making tea or coffee.

Laundry, dry cleaning and luggage storage are available, and daily housekeeping is provided. Guests can book a massage or visit the salon on site, and an airport transfer, car hire and taxi service are offered.

Marlin Hotel sits in the central part of Surat Thani, a busy provincial town in southern Thailand that works well as a base for trips to the islands. The streets around the hotel are lined with shops and food stalls, so most daily needs can be met on foot, and a convenience store is also a short walk away. The new bus terminal is a short distance from the hotel, so travellers arriving by bus can reach the centre without a long trip.

Central Plaza Surat Thani, a large shopping centre, is 750 m away, and Wat Phothawat, a Buddhist temple, is 3.1 km away. The Surat Thani Night Market, a lively evening market with food stalls, is 3.2 km away. Surat Thani Airport is 18.1 km away, and the railway station is 8.2 km away.

A good plan is to start with a walk through the streets around Central Plaza, then visit Wat Phothawat before heading to the night market in the evening, when the market stalls are set up and busy with food stalls and shoppers. Koh Lamphu Public Park is a pleasant place for a late-afternoon stroll before dinner. The town's ferry terminal serves the islands in the Gulf, including Koh Tao, for guests who continue their journey by boat.
