Hotel Meriam am Rhein, Basel
Excellent hotel in a perfect location on the banks of the Rhine, immediately opposite to old part of the city. Wonderful views over the river, and convenient tram line immediately outside, giving access to all parts of Basel via the free travel ticket provided. A superior restaurant , specialising in fish dishes. I would say that this hotel provides a perfect centre for the leisure traveller, and a practical base for business travellers, being within easy reach of the main industrial areas.

Location was really good, but
Location was really good, but the accomodation was basic - not unsimilar to student accomadation in the UK. The bed was small even though we booked a double, but on having asked why the recetionist said on these 'categories' of rooms were alllocated if you booked through hotelclub - so basically you pay a price similar to the going rate but you get second class accomodation.

Rooms a little smaller than might
Rooms a little smaller than might be expected. (We had a river view double which had a nice view over to the old town) Excellent position for sight seeing etc.

Money-saving tip:
Short walk from hotel
The included bus/tram service from airport to hotel and everywhere in town you wanted to go. Can't say enough about how easy it was to get around.

Perfect location
The Best Western Merian Am Rhein was a good value for Basel. Located just across the Rhine from old Basel and next to a bridge and tram service, the hotel allowed us to enjoy the views yet be anywhere in Basel quickly. While the rooms are not spacious by USA standards, the room was serviceable and functional. But if you are spending so much time in the room that it bothers you, then you are missing out on Basel.

Sightseeing tip:
Short walk from hotel
The old market center of Basel is a short 5-10 minute walk from the hotel. Basel is such a lovely city.
