I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which is set in a stunning location right in the heart of the town. The rooms are cozy and clean, featuring beautiful, hand-carved details. The service was excellent overall, but I wish the breakfast had more variety. The staff was super friendly and helpful, making my stay enjoyable. Yet, the dining options did leave something to be desired. Overall, it's a great value for money, especially with its convenient access to local attractions.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which boasts a stunning view of the main town square and the rising hills in the distance. The rooms were well-appointed with traditional furnishings and a beautifully updated marble bathroom. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Appenzell, but the noise from the square in the morning was a bit too much at times. Overall, it was a great value for money, even though the wired internet access was somewhat inconvenient for my iPad.
