We stayed in the Edelweiss room, and had an amazing view of the surrounding area. The hostess is very friendly and helps you with what you need. Although it is a bit outside of the centre, it is made up for by the great view from the garden :-)

This was a well maintained guesthouse on the outskirts of Appenzell. There was parking available in front of their home. We had a car which was very convienant for this area.The rooms were large and clean and the beds were great. There was no air conditioning. The family/help was available to answer questions, get directions etc. The home is situated... More

We were hot and tired when we got to Lydia's, and found she had no fan. This is the only place we found in Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, and Switzerland that did not have... More
