Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Nice hotel in a great location, right in the city centre with easy walk to the train station. My room was very cozy with a nice view and comfortable bed and bathroom with spacious shower. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I really enjoyed coffee for breakfast - great quality!

    There was a complete kitchen with every appliance, tool, pot, pan, utensil and dish. Would highly recommend to anyone! This was our first place we stayed while in Switzerland which "set the bar high" for other hostels.

    This was the best hostel ever!! The amenities and beds were so comfortable and the rooms were very private. It looked exactly like the pictures. The host even let us store our bags overnight because we were going on an overnight hike the day after.

    Extremely friendly and welcoming. It is a great location in the peaceful countryside but with easy access to Appenzell and all of the nearby lifts. Breakfast is included, and a lovely restaurant offers delicious meals. Corinne was a fantastic host.

    Only three guest rooms in the hostel. The rooms are cleaned everyday. The smells of shampoo and body gel are really fresh. I love the warm kitchen and dinner room. Staffs are really friendly and helpful.
