Top Appenzell Hotel Reviews
JUFA Hotel Malbun
"The room was very nice and bigger than I imagined. The staff were friendly. The sauna/wellness area was a very nice bonus"
B&B Hotel Liechtenstein-Eschen
"Hotel is not yet a year old. Staff were helpful but still a bit slow in service. Having food available at the hotel, given its location, was very nice for travelers like us without our own transportation."
Premier Inn Lindau
"Excellent room and bathroom. Comfortable public areas. Superb breakfast. No restaurant but snacks available. Parking good but expensive at 15 euros per day. Helpful and pleasant staff."
Oberwaid Hotel
"Very relaxing. Staff was very accommodating"
Four Points By Sheraton Panoramahaus Dornbirn
"Fantastic hotel - spacious, modern and well maintained."
Revier Hotel Säntispark
"Great hotel excellent breakfast, family friendly."
Gasthaus Hof
"This historic hotel is located in the heart of Appenzell and has a lovely restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. It is a short walk from the train station, is clean and charming and rooms have comfortable beds and bedding. The included breakfast is plentiful and delicious with good coffee :) The staff were incredibly kind and accommodating - when we had to check out very early at the end of our stay, they packed us a delicious lunch to take with us on the train the night before we left since we would miss the morning breakfast. Travellers should note that there is no AC due to preservation rules for all hotels/historic buildings in Appenzell - when we came there was a heat wave so it was unusually hot, but we opened our windows at night and it cooled our room off enough so we could sleep. We highly recommend Gasthaus Hof!"
Hotel Neu-Schönstatt
"Great hotel, wonderful location - felt a bit hollow with no staffed reception or restaurant open (I beleive closed weekdays) Great breakfast"
Bodenseezeit Apartmenthotel garni
"What a fantastic apartment. It was clean with great amenities. Convenient parking and the breakfast was great. I would love to return. The staff were great, very welcoming and a very smooth automated check in. Thoroughly recommended"
