This hotel is an absolute gem! We had a charming Appenzeller style room, with bed canopy and hand painted features, looking on to the cobblestoned pedestrian street and colourful buildings. Breakfast was excellent- a generous selection of local cheese and meat, freshly.baked breads and eggs. Highly recommend staying 3 nights, as you receive a card with free access to local cable cars and museums.
A small bar at hotel looks very cosy, but was not open during our stay in May - would've liked a drink in there

Breakfast was perfectly what we needed good food. Beds were comfy. Staff was very nice and go above and beyond to help their guests. They even mailed a package for us when we forgot something of importance! Very nice all around.
The only thing that could have made for a better stay - there is no AC (which this is standard for Switzerland) if you are traveling when the weather is hot you have to keep windows open and can be a little tricky if you are a light sleeper.

+ Nice and authentic hotel. + The bathroom amenities were good. + You're left alone at breakfast. No one hovering over you. + The view from the room was amazing. + Nice and plentiful breakfast. + The location: Middle of old town.
+ You need to pay for parking. In another hotel it was free. + The location is a bit noisy if you open the windows: hearing bells every hour, people talking downstairs. + The light from the shop downstairs is a bit strong at night. It reaches the room.

This hotel is located in the old town of Appenzell. It’s a short level stroll from the train station. My bed was very comfortable & the bedroom had traditional paintings & features which added to the charm. I found the staff to be welcoming & helpful. The breakfast was delicious & a great start to the day. I was really, really happy that they were able to provide some extra gluten free products for me as I am a coeliac. I stayed two nights here & thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The property is exactly as described on the website.
There is nothing to dislike.

I like the most are theirs staff, people whom are working there, they are so nice and willing to help, you feel no distance.
The hotel is in the very center of the city so to arrive at the hotel it’s not easy because many streets is only for walking

We enjoyed our 1 night stay, we had 2 rooms for our family of 4. The 2 rooms were near each other and were a decent size. The bathroom was small but adequate. The room had plenty of storage. The buffet breakfast was excellent with a good variety of pastries, cheeses, cereal, eggs, juice and coffee. We also appreciated being allowed to store our luggage pre check-in and after check out.
Nothing comes to mind

We liked the locations and the ambiance of the hotel. It felt like a hotel in a historic building should feel. It was decorated in a very homey style.
The pillows were flat for us, however that seemed to be a common theme for everywhere we stayed during out two week trip to Switzerland and Austria. We did obtain extra pillows which helped some.
