Wonderful. Wonderful location to the train, town squares, restaurants and shopping. The staff were very kind and intuitive. They met all our needs. The breakfast was perfect for us and great coffee. We reserved a triple and the hotel upgraded us to a spacious triple with a view of the mountains. I highly recommend.

Had a very nice stay at Hecht. Very helpful staff. Only downside is that the hotel is in front of a church that rings bells every 15 min even at night. Breakfasts are really good! Location is amazing!! 4 mins away from train station.

Very good location, only about 4 mins walk from the bahnhof. There is no hot water for tea or coffee after 8pm. It will help very much if pots are provided.

Great hotel!
This was a really nice hotel. It was very clean and comfortable. Excellent location. Breakfast buffet was also very good. Our room was beautiful. It was directly across from the church. Be forewarned that the bells of the church chime throughout the day/night. One bell for 15 min after the hour, 2 bells on the 1/2 hour, three bells 45 minutes after the hour then on the hour. Ask for a room in the back. There was an issue with parking. One lot close to the hotel is one hour. The other lot closed after the weekend to set up for a celebration. Our car was towed. We paid $318 for the fine. The staff was polite, friendly and very helpful.

Charming and spacious accommodations in beautiful Appenzell. The deluxe triple room provided ample space for our family of three and allowed great views of the town. The staff were very helpful, offering us tips about local restaurants and attractions.

Fantastic location, very clean and spacious!
Very friendly staff, rooms were very large and modern. Breakfast had a nice selection of local cheeses! Useful tip, minibar is in the hallway (honor system). One thing to know for very light sleepers, church bells ring all night in Appenzell (and church is across the street :). Overall excellent and will stay there again!
