Hotel Löwen ★★★

"I have stayed 3 nights here and have enjoyed every bit of it. I stayed in a single room, it is compact but very decently sized for a solo traveller. It’s clean, comfortable and cosy. Though it’s already May, the temperature did drop to single-digit during my stay so I really appreciate that my room was still comfortably warm. There’s breakfast served 7-10am every morning; just light continental style but sufficient. The hotel is tastefully decorated and all the staff I met have been really lovely and polite. They may not be at the reception all the time but you may reach them via the phone at the counter and they will be over very shortly. Location is great too, barely 5mins walk from the train station and 7mins walk to the supermarket (COOP). I would recommend this hotel without any hesitation."

Hotel Appenzell ★★★

"Small, charming, family-run hotel on the town square in Appenzell. Our room was clean, cozy and uniquely decorated with a stunning view. The staff at the hotel and restaurant was very friendly and attentive. We had dinner twice in the restaurant and the food was outstanding. We will be back!"

Hotel Hecht Appenzell ★★★

"This hotel was booked by our tour (Rick Steve's). I can't figure out how it gets 4.5 stars. It doesn't have air conditioning, which is really bad in August, but pretty typical for much of Europe, especially in the old town. But not having a fan is just ridiculous. I mean, I know the Swiss are known to be cheep, but a fan casts maybe $50 max? The church bell just rang for the first time since we got here, and it is very loud, but with or without the church bell, I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight on the 4th floor (5th floor by American standards) 85 degrees, no breeze. I'm sitting here sweating doing nothing. I even took a cold shower, and that helped for about 30 min. I hope the owner reads these reviews and breaks down and buys some fans! I'd probably give it four stars if I had a fan. This is the morning after. Although I was still sweating at midnight, I did fall asleep and didn't awaken until 6am when the church bells woke me up. So I got a better night sleep than I expected. I still think it's extremely cheap of them to not buy fans, but we were told they are always full, so no reason to make their customers more comfortable."

Romantik Hotel Säntis ★★★★

"I would consider it a classic old european hotel. Very fitting for the town of Appenzell. No elevators so you have to bring up your bags by the stairs. Small hallway, room and bathroom. Tight bedroom with a soft bed that was way to low to the floor. No A/C so we needed to keep windows open at night. Euro Cup was going on so a lot of car honking after the match that night. The Swiss must of won that night. Part of the fun when you travel. The shower was of good size with great pressure. Located in the center of town with parking in the plaza and in a near by garage. Staff at the front desk, wine later in the evening and at breadkfast where all very nice. The hotel is known for its exstensive wine selection. Had a glass ot two and they are right. Delicious."
