Einzigartig

Dieses typische Appenzeller Hotel mit schönem Garten/Restaurant und atemberaubender Aussicht, strahlt insgesamt viel Gemütlichkeit aus. Die Nähe zu den umliegenden Wandergebieten macht alles noch attraktiver. Wir kommen wieder zurück!

Overall very nice place to stay

It was a very nice stay. There was a little mold in the shower. Beware when it snows - I could not get up the hill after it snowed so I had to park at the bottom and walk up. They offered a very nice, light breakfast with a beautiful view of skiers while I ate. The hotel staff was extremely friendly and pleasant.

It is literally at the end of the road. The views are stunning. I expected to see Julie Andrews come singing of the green hillside. The breakfast was good and included in the rate. The restaurant has a limited menu but was good. You are a fair distance from other dining options. If you want a beautiful base to explore the area this is a great choice.

Amazing location. Beautiful surroundings. Family owned property. Great breakfast. Self check-in is very simple, just make sure your entry code email doesn't get lost in your spam folder.

Fantastisks sted, i et stille område hvor du kan nyde naturen. Skøn udsigt og service niveauet på både hotel og restaurant var helt i top. Sans for de små detaljer som gør en forskel. Stor anbefaling

Sylvie et Arno sont très sympathiques et accueillants. La chambre no. 3 est fantastique. Nous avons dormi dans 3 chambres différentes. 2 étaient très bien, l'autre un peu petit et vétuste. Extrêmement bien situé avec des balades grandioses directement depuis l'hôtel. Si vous restez + que 3 jours, demandez l'accès libre aux 3 téléphériques aux alentours. Excellent restaurant et très bon petit déjeuner. On peut que recommander cet endroit.
