While I was staying here, I unfortunately became I’ll and had to go to hospital, leaving the rest of my group to go on without me. I felt very frightened and alone, however when I arrived back from the hospital, the staff put me to bed and then crept in every few hours to check on me. As soon as they saw I was awake, they brought me hearty soup to feed me. Honestly, they couldn’t have been kinder, they looked after me for a full week, till I was able to go on with my trip! It is weird when you’re sick overseas, not hearing your own language, not feeling able to explain just what is wrong. But with the staff at this hotel, there was no need to worry, they just looked after me as though I was a relative. I can’t recommend them more highly!

A comfortable, well located hotel in the heart of Appenzell. This is not a fancy hotel. Our room was a large 2 room suite that was clean and quiet. Breakfast was on the sparse side. You could soft boil your own egg but other than that there were no hot entrees. It was mostly cold cuts, cheeses and breads. There is no air conditioning so, as it was slightly warm when we visited. We opened the windows. There was paid parking only in public parking lots if you are driving as we were. The building has an unusual layout.

This is a lovely little Rick Steves recommendation. Super clean rooms with modern amenities, yet still retains it’s classic charm. We had our car and found parking about 150m away, across from the brewery. Breakfast is the standard cold buffet with boiled eggs, but it’s ample. Appenzell is the perfect base for exploring the region by car. Just be warned if you stay at Hotel Hecht: there’s no air conditioning so, if you need to sleep with the windows open, the church bells ring hourly—all night—and then really get going around 0630.

Appenzell is a small town probably better known for winter than summer visitors. As I am here on a group tour, the hotel was chosen for me. I believe there are 38 rooms (?) On 4 floors. It's quaint and the room and bathroom are good sizes. The hotel is not air conditioned and there is no cross ventilation or fan to cool the room... leaving the window open for some kind of air movement subjects you to the hourly church bell and the hotel is across the street so it's quite loud. The site says it's equipped with toiletries... liquid soap period. The bed has one of those horrible all in one comforter/sheets which is far too hot for any sleep..the sheets might be 200thread count, so scratchy and uncomfortable with a single flat pillow to sleep on. Breakfast buffet is decent. Would have never chosen this hotel myself and would not come back.

This hotel was booked by our tour (Rick Steve's). I can't figure out how it gets 4.5 stars. It doesn't have air conditioning, which is really bad in August, but pretty typical for much of Europe, especially in the old town. But not having a fan is just ridiculous. I mean, I know the Swiss are known to be cheep, but a fan casts maybe $50 max? The church bell just rang for the first time since we got here, and it is very loud, but with or without the church bell, I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight on the 4th floor (5th floor by American standards) 85 degrees, no breeze. I'm sitting here sweating doing nothing. I even took a cold shower, and that helped for about 30 min. I hope the owner reads these reviews and breaks down and buys some fans! I'd probably give it four stars if I had a fan. This is the morning after. Although I was still sweating at midnight, I did fall asleep and didn't awaken until 6am when the church bells woke me up. So I got a better night sleep than I expected. I still think it's extremely cheap of them to not buy fans, but we were told they are always full, so no reason to make their customers more comfortable.

The Hotel was beautiful, with a very central location in the Village of Appenzell. The room was very spacious and the service was great. The breakfast had a big selection of local breads, charcuterie, as well as fruits, Juices and coffee. I can recommend this hotel wholeheartedly

Staff could communicate in English, even tho I think I was the only non German speaker . Room , toilet and bathroom room : spotlessly clean. Asked for a foam pillow. Not a problem.
A note ( not criticizing) , was unseasonably warm . No AC . Was a challenge.
Nice breakfast buffet . All in all very pleasant.

We stayed one night at Hotel Hecht and it was good. The room was modern and well cleaned. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was good but the breakfast room lacked atmosphere. The prices were a bit too high for the quality and overall experience.

Lovely quiet hotel in great location. Service was wonderful and friendly. Loved walking around the hotel and looking at all the pictures and unique knick knacks. Great breakfast. The noon check out was welcomed. We were able to get a lovely breakfast then take our time packing and readying to leave. Quiet room. Opened the window for a light breeze and beautiful church bells!
