The hotel location is absolutely amazing, right in the heart of the countryside. The staff are very friendly, and the breakfast is light and delicious, especially the croissants, which have a unique and special taste.

Pros:

スタッフはみんな親切でした。
朝食も毎日違ったチーズが提供されたし、ゆで卵やフルーツ、パンなど3日食べても飽きませんでした。毎日コーヒーを淹れてくれたのも嬉しかった。
部屋からの景色も最高でした！
立地も良いです。田舎ですが、電車の本数は問題ないです。降りる駅の前で黄色いボタンを押さないと止まらないので気をつけてください。

Cons:

到着日のみ無料の炭酸水の提供がありましたが、連泊した次の日からはありませんでした。
部屋にケトルは欲しかったです。
コンセントはベッドの近くになかったので不便でした。

Excellent base from which to explore the best of Appenzell
Pros:

The staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly. The location is very good: steps away from the train station, within walking distance to Seealpsee and to the cable car to Ebenalp. Breakfast was very good.
Checking in when the hotel is on its days off is absolutely no problem: you receive a code per email which you use to open the hotel door and then to open the box containing your key.
Replies to phone calls and email messages was always prompt, hepful and friendly.
