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.

Best Hotel in Appenzell

Unbelievably great stay at this hotel!! Best location in the village. Unbelievably great European breakfast, really great! Including made to order eggs. Hotel employees were All great-as if they owned the hotel. The couple who Own the hotel are second generation. Each day the Owners would speak directly to us to ensure that we were happy. Rooms all up to date. Rooms were so clean each day... SPOTLESS... bowl of fruit in the room. Hotel chef was great, best dinner dining experience in town. Crazy great, we will be back!

Our room had a beautiful view of the town square and the hills behind. Shopping and site seeing is all a very close walk away. Parking was very accessible and included with the hotel (a rarity in Switzerland). Spacious room with space to sit and look out the windows.
