Adler Hotel

We really enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Adler. Matthew at reception was phenomenal. He gave us suggestions for several great hikes, restaurants and the best train route for our onward journey. Matthew is a true concierge. Appenzell is small and the Adler is convenient to everything including the train station and grocery stores. The building is over 400 years old but the rooms feel very modern. There are historical artifacts and information about the building and Appenzell throughout. I would definitely recommend Hotel Adler to anyone visiting Appenzell. The only negative comment is that the breakfast is a bit underwhelming but there are several good breakfast restaurants in town. Try the cheese tarts. Be sure to ask for the Appenzell welcome card. It’s worth quite a bit when you take advantage of the free transportation and gifts. The Ebenalp cable car is a must! Thanks again Matthew and staff!

We arrived after flying all day and traveling by train to get to Appenzell. The hotel has limited hours but our key was left at the front desk with a welcome note. Very basic room (double room budget) but served its purpose and was clean. Was warm so needed to keep window open and we were awoken with the loud noise outside from we assume garbage truck. We were on the main floor. Would pick a different room location if we came back. We decided to go for breakfast, it was a variety of things served. Had very little contact with staff except at breakfast and at check out, we were only here one night. Very close to the station and easy walk. Very close to walk around the town. Cute old little hotel.

Our room was lovely, as is the hotel generally. It’s an older historic building that is clean and well appointed. Staff were very friendly and accommodating, and it is a short walk to most things in town. There is a good restaurant on the premises, and attention to the guest is first-rate. I would definitely stay here again.

It doesn't go any better. I went for a week to Adlerhotel for hiking the Säntis National Park. 5 minutes away from the station, 5 to 10 minutes away from every major place (square, supermarket, brewery). Very friendly and extremely polite desk staff. Swiss quality was indeed honored when it came to cleanliness. The breakfast was really nice too. When coming back again to Appenzell, I do not need to choose or look for any other place.

Old, extremely well kept small hotel (20 rooms) in small town of Appenzell. About a 10-12 minute walk from rail station. Very close to the old part of town with several restaurants and stores. Across street from a beautiful river. Hotel has a free breakfast with cheeses, bread, juice, coffee, tea, meats and eggs. There is a wonderful looking patio to use outside of the breakfast area,(plus the outdoor seating in front) weather permitting. There is also an Italian restaurant in the hotel that serves lunch and dinner at a reasonable price. Food was good. Hotel owner (Matthew) and staff could not have been nicer. Our room was modern, clean, with a very good mattress and a small balcony. Our room had a frig. Don't remember if there was a microwave. Hotel has lots of maps for wherever you choose to go within the Appenzell Canton (district?). Ask for the Appenzell card if they forget to give it to you. Free transportation within the canton, free ride on at least 2 of the cable cars, free admission to the downstairs part of the town aquatic center (pool and hot tub). We were there for 4 nights. This was a good choice for us.

We had the Broger Suite, first floor above the lobby, a HUGE almost apartment. The sitting room had four big windows and views out two sides (it is a corner room) and some of the original wood walls from the 1600s. Big bathroom, shelf space, good shower, hairdryer and soap provided. It was a nice traditional room in an old building. Easy to get to from the train station (5 minutes walk), excellent location, easy walking distance to everything. Lots of plugs, good WiFi, refrigerator, coffee maker, AC. If you stay three days or more you get the Appenzeller card with great values and free trains to and from Appenzell (this savings alone more than paid for one night's accomodation). Super-Friendly hosts, willing to help. Laundry available for extra charge. Great food in their Italian (!) restaurant. Seriously. Good fondue on Thursday nights (or was it Friday?) This is our second or third time here and We will stay again.
