Nice staff! They accomodated our late (after 8 pm) arrival (traffic) and arranged a reservation for an excellent dinner at their nearby sister hotel, Romantik Hotel Säntis (last food order 9:00 pm). Everything is very clean. Centrally located in the pedestrian zone. Public parking (Brauerei Platz small lot at intersection larger parking lot furthet down. Coins to pay for parking no credit card). Appenzell is a wonderful place!

Friendly staff made it great.

We needed help to make a health care decision. The receptionist went above & beyond to help us navigate another unfamiliar country’s health care system. Breakfast was good. The comfort of the bed was very good.

Everything was great except Saturday night you could hear the bar from our room and it didn’t quite down until 3:30am. Other than that it was great and the other nights were very quiet.

Such a cute hotel. Feels like a home and the rooms were spacious and clean. There is no air contitioning (like a lot of Europe) but there were two windows that provided a small breeze that made it ok for sleeping. Susan was the receptionist that checked me in and she was so kind. She even purchased a water that she just bought so it was cold! The hotel is close to restaurants and to the train station. The breakfast was PERFECT. There were enough options for anyone (i.e. hard boiled eggs, bread, yogurt, fruit, cereal, meats and cheese, coffee, juice, water, and more that I am forgetting).

Excellent place to stay, Beautiful Town!

I was there in April. It is a great place to stay right in the middle of Appenzell Old Town. My room was lovely with a wonderful roof window that opened and looked out over rooftops and I could see the Sutter Schloss. The price was reasonable, very clean, and the breakfast spread was excellent. I wish the desk staff, who were rarely there to answer questions, knew more about the town and places to eat. I ended up eating at their other hotel, Hotel Santis. The staff didn't know there was an Alpen horn group that performed/practiced outside their door, or about the yodeling group of women who just appeared in street clothing, sang for about half an hour or so. It seemed like they did this every Saturday for practice, and of course it was lovely to hear the different style of the Appenzell yodeling which is more harmony and soothing melodic sound, both were lovely!

Parking

The parking was the difficult part every lot I went into you needed a disk parking. Which I did not have. I needed a overnight parking lot and after 234 attempts I finally found a parking lot that took coins… But a local girl help me put the coins in as it would not except my credit card…

This was such a convenient location from the train station. Loved the little details: Appenzell specialty treat on the pillows, rubber ducky in the showet and bottled water upon checkout. They even let us put our sandwiches in the frig overnight. The staff was very friendly and polite. Breakfast was good and plentiful!

Nice Hotel and Town

A nice but confusing town to negotiate. It was difficult to find the hotel and then find parking because of pedestrian-only streets. Once we dealt with that, we really enjoyed the town and the hotel.

A cute character hotel on the main street in Appenzell. It had a cool sloped ceiling and decorative painted furniture. It was clean and the man was very helpful at the front desk My only complaint would be that it was kind of hot because there was no air-conditioning but they did find us a fan. The breakfast was decent.
