Staff was uniformly wonderful. Great family-owned hotel that has retained its old-world ambiance. Amenities included some free wine, beer, juice into the room refrigerator, great breakfast buffet and the special Basel card. That allowed us to ride the trams for free.

The hotel was very charming, and the service was great. The room was very clean and had nice amenities, including a refrigerator with beverages. The bed was very comfortable, but a little too warm for me. Breakfast was included but, unfortunately, we didn’t have time to partake. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Loved this place! Quiet, classy, lovely! The front desk staff, doorman and bartender were all so friendly and helpful. We felt at home immediately. Rooms are impeccable- so clean and beautifully decorated (as is the entire hotel)! Lovely little perks: little chocolate cakes in our room, welcome drink vouchers for the bar. Would definitely recommend The Allure and hope to return someday.
