I am giving this 4 star hotel a very good rating mostly due to the location and the fact that if you book a room with a Rhein view its amazing, small balcony and large doors that open on to it, the room is also a decent size. Hotel is very near the old town as well. The hotel its... More

Stayed for 2 nights in November 2011. Location just perfect in the nice town center looking on the Rhine. You have to carry your luggage on the steps and there is no clear sign that you can enter the hotel smoothly through the Spitz Cafe. The room although modest was very well-equipped. Staff are friendly especially the night warden. Breakfast... More

Spent one night in the beginning of Septmber before boarding our river cruise. The hotel is located in the center of town with great views of the Rhine. Breakfast is usually included (depend on who you book with), it was good. There is no air-conditioning so I would be hesitant in mid-summer. All Basel hotels offer a free pass for... More

I'm staying at the Merian Am Rhein as I write this. We came here for a 5 day business trip. The hotel is 6 tram stops from SBB Banhoff (about 10 mins), but this is a much nicer area than the main station area. There are plenty of shops nearby, and just over the bridge is the beautiful old district,... More

For a night or two in Basel, one can't find abetter hotel: The rooms face the river Rhine and it isclose to the city, almost opposite the famous Hotel 'Three Kings' where a room costs three to four times as much. Service is perfect and the restaurant with a balcony over the river is most pleasant. Highly recommended More

I visited this hotel for a friends wedding, the reception was being held there so thought a good idea. I arrived and they checked me in efficiently, went to my room, dark dingy room with a tiny window. Because I was only there on night I decided to not make an issue, but on walking back to the elevator noticed... More

The hotel has in incredible location right in the center of Basel. My room had an incredible view to the Rhine and the old bridge. The rooms were of a modest size but still comfortable. Breakfast was good, friendly personnel and a surprisingly good value for money for Switzerland. Big drawback: the noise. On a good day, even with closed... More

we stayed here for two nights in a small double room with a direct river view, the room was definately small and somewhat noisy due to the proximity to the bridge and traffic but despite that would stay here again, good breakfast, friendly and obliging staff,also handy parking in the hotel. The hotel is well located near the river with... More

Small room but extremly clean. There is no aircondition and if you open the window it is a bit noisy from outside. Nevertheless the hotel has some anemeties that count: Free breakfast with a very good variety of things. Free non alcoholic drinks in the room. Coffee maker with a good coffee (not instant). Free mobility ticket for public transportation... More
