"The breakfast is very good !"
"A great hotel, lovely staff, clean rooms and facilities plus the best steak tartare I’ve had in Basel so far"

There is a lift inside the property to all floors and separate lift to the car park which is useful when staying on higher floors or have lots of luggage. If you are coming by foot to the street entrance then do be prepared to carry your bags up about 8 steps to enter, although the lovely staff are very keen to help if you do press the buzzer and request assistance. We would definitely love to stay here again and...

Riverside Hotel Merian - opening 2026"A good hotel in a great location. There were some issues with the elevator, which wasn't working during our stay, but it wasn't a big deal for us. The check-in process was unnecessarily convoluted; it could certainly have been much more expeditious. All in all, it was a very good stay."
"Well maintained property. Great location close to SBB station. Staff was professional and responsive to questions. Highly recommend."
