Great Views and great local food
Pros:

Amazing views and exceptional food at restaurant. The staff and owners are very friendly and the location was great and quiet with a short walk to train and bus station. Within a short train ride you can be up in the mountains or the town of Appenzell and enjoy the peace and quiet in the evening.

Soweit gut, jedoch nicht ganz die Erwartungen erfüllt.
Pros:

Das Frühstück war etwas einfach. Die Bedienung beim Frühstück aber sehr freundlich. Die Aussicht war top. Die Begegnung am Morgen mit dem restlichen Personal war ok.

Pros:

Het hotel ligt dicht bij de trein en is uitstekend bereikbaar. Het ontbijt is prima. Bij het ontbijt was de bediening zeer vriendelijk.

Cons:

Ontbijt is pas vanaf 8 uur, wat erg laat is voor het maken van bergwandelingen. De sleutel van de kamer moest steeds bij het weggaan in een kluisje gelegd worden en het bedienen ervan ging nogal moeizaam. Onder het bed vond ik zakdoeken en zonnebrandcrème van een vorige gast. Het was erg warm en benauwd op de kamer. De matrassen waren nogal zacht en niet goed van kwaliteit. De badkamer was erg eenvoudig. Erg hoge kamerprijs voor het aanbod.
