Hotel Merian am Rhein

Lovely Staff, excellent cleanliness, good service, and amazing location with amazing views. We booked a family room and we were upgraded to River facing top floor apartment. Best place to stay in Basel.

Nothing. Everything was perfect. In fact the experience was above our expectations.

Excellent location overlooking The Rhine. Very good breakfast plus nice waterside brasserie for lunch or dinner, if required.

Not feeling brave enough to swim in The Rhine, as the locals do, a pool would have been most welcome.

Location was excellent. Views. Staff. Breakfast. Free mini bar with water and soft drinks.

Nothing really

Location fabulous, view of river from our room and a small balcony. Free bus pass.

Restaurant expensive and not a great deal of choice.

The bed was super comfortable, the location was spectacular! Close to tram station which we rode all over Basel, sightseeing, and right next to the historical bridge to all shopping and restaurants. The hotel provided free cards for all trams and buses! The included breakfast was superb! Great restaurant and bar for the evenings, too. Very warm and welcoming staff. Free bottled water and juice/soda. We really enjoyed our time at the Merian. Thank you!

The rooms were warm, as the building is historical and has no air. But there is a fan provided. We had a river view with balcony, so we kept glass doors open and fan bringing in cool air. Rooms are all modern and comfortable/super clean. Woul not stay there in a heat wave! But weather in Basel is pretty moderate.
