Zu einer Aufenthalt kam es garnicht - wurde einfach nicht auf Email-Anfragen - weder von Expedia, noch von mir persönlich - reagiert.
Datumsänderung sollte vorgenommen werden gegen Gebühr, dazu kam es garnicht. Musste…

Übertrag meine Erwartungen, top Empfehlung
Das einchecken war etwas unverständlich aber ging nach einigen Anläufen (Res. Nummer wurde nicht erkannt). Sehr saubere Zimmer und Badezimmer, liebevoll hergerichtet mit allem was man benötigt. Top ist der Kaffee to go…

Måske et af de dårligste hoteller jeg nogensinde har boet på, særligt til prisen. Hotellet fremstår meget gammelt og slidt. Der er absolut ingen service og det er umuligt at komme i kontakt med hotellet når man prøver at…

Questions about Merian am Rhein

Does Merian am Rhein allow pets?

Yes — the property states that pets are allowed. Size, number and fee are set by the property rather than by us, so say you're bringing a pet when you book and we'll confirm the terms before anything is charged.

Does Merian am Rhein have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Merian am Rhein have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Merian am Rhein?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
