Hotel Hecht is a lovely hotel in the idyllic Swiss village of Appenzell. The rooms are contemporary with quaint Swiss furnishings and special touches (our room had a large basket for carrying hay in the corner). The entire hotel is exceptionally clean and the staff are outstanding - very friendly and helpful. All seem to speak English and if they... More

Centrally located in the main pedestrian street of the old town. Newly renovated rooms, very nice and clean. Wonderful new and spacious showers, The front is really noisy with the church next to and the bells do not allow you a sound sleep.

Our room was fantastic, and the staff was very very nice to us. Breakfast was very good too. We had a family of four, and the room was sufficiently large to provide space for all of us. The room was very updated and accomodating. We loved it. I do have to say that Appenzel is overrated by Rick Steeves. There... More

It was recently refurbished, and had a beautiful large bathroom. The only negative points though were the curtains which did not make the room dark enough and... More

We tried to get in the Santis, but full, so they booked us into this hotel they own. Hecht is not as nice, but adequate. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful. Access seems difficult since this is just inside the pedestrian area, but they said we could load/unload and this made it ok. Parking is in the public (free)... More

My wife and I stayed here for one night in Jul. We wanted to visit Appenzell and this unfortunately was the only available hotel. The major downfall is that it sits across the street from a large church. The bells toll every 20 min and at random times throughout the night. We had to keep the windows open because there... More

The Hotel Hecht is located directly across the road from a Beer Garden and Church. The beer garden was open until 2am with loud patrons wandering the streets until 3am. The church bells toll every 30 minutes. Since the rooms are not air conditioned, you are forced to sleep with the windows open and endure the constant noise. The rooms... More
