Clean and lovely rooms although rooms are very small. We couldn’t lay on floor both suitcases. Hotel is down an alleyway which makes it very quiet in rooms but not ideal as far as an entranceway goes. Very convenient to a number of attractions and restaurants in Rome. Also a bus stops close that takes you straight to train station.

Sorrell Hotel Merian is right on the Rhine river and in Center City. You can walk almost everywhere, and we were also provided a free pass for the trams and buses which are plentiful. Staff was very helpful with suggestions and arrangements.

It was extremely warm in Basel and all there was to cool was a small oscillating fan! No A/C. There was a private event the first night and cleanup carried on into the early morning hours. No sleep at all. Asked to move but the hotel was full. Lovely view bit that’s it!
