호텔 로웬 아펜첼

Hotel Lowen is a cute Swiss hotel in the middle of a wonderful city, Appenzell. The good first: The rooms were typical of European hotels, small but tastefully decorated and very clean. The breakfast buffet is wonderful with a variety of selections such as meats, cheeses, cereals, breads, coffee, juices, etc... The breads were especially delicious and fresh each day. The not so good: Parking is a challenge when staying at Hotel Lowen. You are allowed to park at the front and drop your luggage but then you have to navigate the streets to find a parking lot. On some streets you are not allowed to drive on and not marked well (but evident by the pedestrians walking around). We had to pay $9 per day to park in a lot near Appenzeller Brauerei. We were there in June for two nights and the temperatures at night were in the 50's. So you'd think the room would be nice and cool with the windows open. But there was no air flow, no fan so it was very warm and stuffy. We had a room facing the back of the hotel and the other couple we were staying with had a room facing the street. As other reviewers have mentioned, the noise from the local bar is terrible. We heard it from both our rooms and it went on until well after 2am. So keeping the windows closed made the room unbearable and keeping them open kept us awake with the noise. The hotel has a patio in the back which we used one night. It was a cozy little area to sit and have a glass of wine in the cool evenings. The first night that we went out there the door was locked to get back in. There is a key pad outside that should allow a guest to swipe their key to get back in but it didn't work. There was no other way to get out of the courtyard so we knocked on the door until the front staff let us in. She was not happy at all about having to let us in, she propped the door and told us we needed to close the door when we were done. The next night the door was locked and there was no staff around to let us use the patio. Why would you have that area but not let anyone use it. The bar area with seating out front closes at 7:30pm so there is no where to sit outside to have a drink. These two negatives would unfortunately cause us to choose a different hotel to stay at next time we visit Appenzell.

Stayed at Löwen for one night. Personell is super friendly andvthe room was great. Thanks for the free upgrade! Even though the place is right in the middle of town, I had a very quiet night of sleep. Breakfast: nice buffet with everything you need…

Sehr schönes Hotel mit super Zimmern mit viel Platz. Zimmer sind aus schönem und sorgfältig bearbeitetem Holz. Die Betten gross und mit gute Betten. Das Hotel ist gut im Mittelpunkt von Appenzell gelegen und man kann mit nur Kurzen märschen alles Erreichen.

Extrem einladendes und sauberes Hotel in Appenzell, gleich an der historischen Hauptgasse. Das Hotel ist extrem gut unterhalten und schön hergerichtet. Zimmerpreise sehr fair. Sehr freundliches, kompetentes und mehrsprachiges Personal.
