Price is normal for Switzerland, but still it feels a bit expensive.

Nice little pension hotel. Very good breakfast, with nice bread and local cheese.

The staff was amazing. Very welcoming as a tourist. Lovely for conversations. The room was so comfortable, the breakfast was very good and overall only good things to say.

Everything was fine

Nice place, nice room with a view to the mountains, in fact the entire hotel is surrounded by mountains, large breakfast, local products (cheese, sausages, milk, beer). Wonderful

No dinner available in the hotel on three of our four nights, and there were almost no other options within walking distance (most restaurants are closed on Tuesdays anyway in Switzerland, but lots of the local ones & hotels seemed to be permanently closed). Not a problem if you know in advance and have a car (buses stop around 7). We ate our main meal at lunchtime in a mountain restaurant and picnicked in our room one day, and drove to Appenzell another day. We were lucky to find a hotel/restaurant open with a table available on the Tuesday.

Very quiet, good views, room with balcony looking up and down the valley, well located for buses and walking. The gastkarte (all local hotels offer it) gives lots of free and reduced rate use of transport and attractions. Wifi worked well. Breakfast was plentiful and quite varied. The one night dinner was available it was lovely. Friendly owners.

The staff went out of their way to help us get to local transportation. Even brought us our cell phone left behind!

The hosts were really sweet and helpful. We stayed there the night before and after our hut to hut hike. They allowed us to leave our car on their parking, as well as leave our luggage in the hotel while we were hiking (3 days). The breakfast was very nice, and the room was very comfortable and quiet.

Wonderful old world property, with a lovely balcony. The property was easy to access by train (and bus stop directly across the street).

Very clean rooms. We ate dinner in the restaurant and everything was delicious.

Everything was perfect! We are just sorry we couldn't express our positive feedback directly to the staff in German (we don't speak German).

The location of the hotel is absolutely amazing, it is possible to go to several hikes directly from there. Our room had a very nice balcony with a view. We also had a medium sized dog with us and it was no problem at all (I was a bit afraid it will be complicated, but it was not). The hotel staff is very friendly and it is obvious that they truly care about enjoyment of stay of their guests :)! We also ate several dinners at their restaurant and it was really good, only some of the portions were too big for us :D. Our favourite dishes were the trout and the steak (although traditional rösti is definitely also worth mentioning). If the circumstances are right, we would love to visit some time again.

There is no elevator so you may not want to bring too many luggages.

The staffs are so nice. The hotel is stylish and has all we need. The room including the bathroom is very clean. The breakfast is good. We really enjoy our staying here. Also the Seealpsee is sooo beautiful.

It would have been nice to have had a kettle in the room

Ideal location, not too far from the train station. We started all of our walks from the hotel which was very convenient. Beautiful views from our room. The owners were very polite and friendly. Our breakfast was delicious and we enjoyed a lovely evening meal there also. We will definitely return.

Everything was pleasing!

A very clean, quaint family run hotel with lots of fun antiques. We loved the old time charm of this hotel, and despite its age, the rooms were very modern, comfortable and functionally up-to-date. The owners' English was limited, but we managed to communicate just fine. One of the owners/son (?) was also the chef. He must love to cook, because our meals were beautifully presented and tasted amazing. Surprising quality for a small country inn. We definitely enjoyed our stay, and were equally pleased we chose this location, as it was fairly central to all our activities. My intention was to book in Appenzell, but was so glad I chose this quite country location.

Great location, close to hiking in the Appenzell.

Very nice place. Very good located for hikes.

We would have liked tea making facilities in the room, even just a kettle and two mugs would have been fine.

Stunning location at the foothills of the Alps. Easy access by train and a great base from which to start hikes. Hotel was warm and inviting, and staff were all helpful and very friendly. The bedroom was cosy and clean, with excellent views from the window and balcony. Breakfast and dinner were good.

Breakfast could’ve been a little more substantial

The location was ideal. The owner and his wife and staff were very kind and helpful.
