Our stay was wonderful. The room was clean and spacious. The sister hotel, Hotel Romantik Santis, was also excellent. The sauna is located offsite (not at Hecht) but was easy to reserve. Also, I highly recommend the restaurant at Santis. The food, wine menu, and service were outstanding.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Excellent, very helpful staff. A super room (we were upgraded) with sinks in the large bedroom and the WC. Up-to-date, but with beautiful wood joinery. Fine breakfast, with a gluten-free option. Elevator and library and a good location a few hundred yards from the main square. No restaurant, but there are many others nearby, including at their partner Hotel Romantic Santis on the main square. Has a same-day laundry service. Only drawback is lack of parking, but you can stop in front to load and unload, then park in the public parking.

Charming and spacious accommodations in beautiful Appenzell. The deluxe triple room provided ample space for our family of three and allowed great views of the town. The staff were very helpful, offering us tips about local restaurants and attractions.

Had a very nice stay at Hecht. Very helpful staff. Only downside is that the hotel is in front of a church that rings bells every 15 min even at night. Breakfasts are really good! Location is amazing!! 4 mins away from train station.

Wonderful. Wonderful location to the train, town squares, restaurants and shopping. The staff were very kind and intuitive. They met all our needs. The breakfast was perfect for us and great coffee. We reserved a triple and the hotel upgraded us to a spacious triple with a view of the mountains. I highly recommend.

Very good location, only about 4 mins walk from the bahnhof. There is no hot water for tea or coffee after 8pm. It will help very much if pots are provided.

Great hotel!

This was a really nice hotel. It was very clean and comfortable. Excellent location. Breakfast buffet was also very good. Our room was beautiful. It was directly across from the church. Be forewarned that the bells of the church chime throughout the day/night. One bell for 15 min after the hour, 2 bells on the 1/2 hour, three bells 45 minutes after the hour then on the hour. Ask for a room in the back. There was an issue with parking. One lot close to the hotel is one hour. The other lot closed after the weekend to set up for a celebration. Our car was towed. We paid $318 for the fine. The staff was polite, friendly and very helpful.
