    Great location to explore Appenzell

    Liked : Located in the heart of the Appenzell. You can easily walk to all the main tourist attractions in town, such as the walking street, the beer factory, shops, and all the restaurants. The room is at a good size, very clean, and convenient. The staff are helpful.

    Disliked : The road in front of the hotel is tiny and is actually not for driving. So if you drive the car there, please study the road carefully.

    Not about Hecht Hotel

    Liked : We had the reservation for Hecht hotel, but we got lucky, and they moved us to their 4 star partner hotel ,Romantik hotel santis. The hotel was beautiful, cozy, clean and comfortable. A small corner was dedicated to toys for kids to play. My 5 y/o daughter enjoyed it very much. Breakfast had a lot of options and served in an impressive salon. Feel really good about it. Definitely recommend it.
