Nice hotel in busy tourist town

The hotel was nice and the staff was very accommodating and friendly. There is no air-conditioning and the weather was hot, so the room was uncomfortable. The second day we asked forva fan, and they brought us a small one that was partially broken, butbit did help. The location was fine, on a main square, close to the restaurants, but a 8-10 minute walk to the teain station, our primary transportation. They had a wonderful breakfast available, and the restaurant was quite good for dinner as well.

Been to Switzerland years ago and not too many little towns left. Cute area. The room was small (it is an old place). The traditionally swiss hotel. The bathroom was done over. Clean. Was just there 1 night, so was ok. Beds were hard and pillows flat. Had nice room though overlooking the front. Was quiet. Grounds are cute. You can eat outside in front or around the side. Restaurant downstairs was good. People were nice that worked there. We were off season, so not too many people in town. Not much to see. Few shops around. Walked everywhere. Good hiking. Everything closes early like most places in Switzerland.

What a quaint, adorable hotel in the village of Appenzell!! We couldn't be happier! The hotel is right in the heart of town. It has an old feel to it, but the bathroom and everything is nicely updated. We had free breakfast with ours, which was much more than what I expected--nice spread of meats, appenzeller cheeses, granolas, breads, etc. They also have a restaurant with exceptional foods. We loved everything about our stay and will recommend it to everyone!!

The staff is so friendly and helpful. Especially the front dest. Never found a more helpful person. The breakfast was great. Normal for european hotels. the location was right is the middle of town next to all the shops and restaurants. Only short walk to the train station. Parking is in abundance all around the hotel. The room the clean and comfortable. The bath is very nice. My only comment is that is needs better pillows.

Misleading room description

We stayed in 5 hotels in Switzerland during our visit ranging from 2-4.5 star, and this was our least favorite property. The pillows were barely pillows. No safe in the room. Also, the room description on Hotels.com is misleading/inaccurate. There is no minibar, no 42" TV, and no refrigerator in the room. (There is a refrigerator outside of the room where you can buy drinks, but not in the room.) But, the restaurant was very good and so was the breakfast. So that's something.
