We loved this property. It was so serene. The wellness center was perfect for the end of our European holiday. Would highly recommend. The only recommendation (albeit very minor) I would have for the hotel is to offer some meal options that are a little more healthy/simple. But other than that, we absolutely loved our stay.

Sonntag Morgenessen vom Hotel auf dem SĂ€ntis Gipfe

Alles war wirklich top! ausser ich wĂŒrde niemals mehr an einem Sonntag Morgen zum Morgenessen auf den SĂ€ntis fahren, viel zu viele Leute und die Organisation lĂ€sst zu wĂŒnschen ĂŒbrig. Beim Ankommen mit der 1. Bahn, hat es keine Verantwortlichkeit die einem entgegennimmt und platziert. Also sitzt man irgendwo hin und muss dann den ganzen Platz nochmals wechseln, mit bereits vollem Teller. Das kann man besser organisieren, eine Person bzw. 2 an jedem Eingang zum Empfang der GĂ€ste.

A Great Stay with an Amazing view

The view from the room was breathtaking and the complimentary treat was a welcomes surprise. Additionally, the town of Appenzell nearby is beautiful and welcoming. The only minor issue with our stay was that the coffee machine near the reception area was out service. Wish there was at least a hot kettle to make tea as the room does not include one. Lastly, use of wellness area was an additional fee, and based on the description alone, we did not think the cost was worth it. Maybe on a future trip we would revisit this. Overall, the Hotel is a wonderful option for those wishing to view the top of SĂ€ntis or explore the Appenzell area.

Hotel.com fails rate protection; ruins family trip

Booked hotel in June 2021 only for hotel to not honor their published rate. I thought i was protected by Hotel.com guaranteed pricing policy but Agent Ben only gave non-viable options for other properties. Not even in close proximity to original destination. Also lied about guaranteed rate policy/protection. And saying the company is no longer a partnered hotel because they ended their contract. Hotel is very much still available. In the end, definitely ruined a great family experience and no remedy or consideration for their failures.

Schönes Hotel, kleine aber schöne Zimmer. Die Herren an der Reception haben einen super Job gemacht. Sehr zuvorkommend, freundlich und speditiv ;). Das Service Personal am Abend (unser Kellner) war ebenfalls sehr freundlich und effizient unterwegs. Was die Effizienz angeht, dann kann man das vom Service Personal tagsĂŒber im Restaurant, leider nicht behaupten. Sie laufen eher unkoordiniert und deshalb wartet man lange, bis man bedient wird, bis man die Karte bekommt (das geht nĂ€mlich nicht in einmal) und bis dann das GetrĂ€nk kommt. Schade, da gibt es wirklich Verbesserungspotenzial. Ansonsten ein interessantes Hotel an einem wunderschönen Ort vor „dem“ spektakulĂ€ren Berg und einer atemberaubenden Kulisse.

Absolut enttÀuschend

Das SĂ€ntis Hotel wurde uns an einem Startfeld Event vorgezeigt und angepriesen, weshalb wir uns zur Buchung entschieden hatten. Der Service liess bezgl. Freundlichkeit und ProfessionalitĂ€t von Beginn an zu wĂŒnschen ĂŒbrig. Wir wurden rauh begrĂŒsst, beim Checkin unterbrochen (ja, das erzĂ€hle ich ihnen noch und warten sie, das kommt gleich!). Der Start verlief schonmal holprig. Als uns dann bekannt gegeben wurde, dass fĂŒr unseren Tag keine Spaslots mehr ĂŒbrig waren (wir haben mehr GĂ€ste als VerfĂŒgbarkeit!) war die EnttĂ€uschung gross. Weshalb lĂ€sst man mehr GĂ€ste ins Hotel als SpaplĂ€tze verfĂŒgbar sind oder erweitert die SpaverfĂŒgbarkeit nicht bis 10:00 abends? Wir haben schliesslich einen slot am nĂ€chsten Tag erhalten um 12:00. Die Zimmer sind gross, ruhig und die Betten weich. Es ist fraglich, weshalb aber eine grosse Glasscheibe bei der Dusche/Schlafzimmer als Trennung benutzt wurde (immerhin gibts einen Vorhang!). Auch der Wasserkocher hat uns gefehlt. Immerhin hat die Rezeptionistin mit rauhem Ton gesagt, dass die ja kein Room Service anbieten und wir das im Restaurant holen können. Abendessen war schliesslich erst um 19:30 möglich (vorher ist alles fĂŒr nicht-hotel-gĂ€ste reserviert!), obwohl wir extra mittags angerufen und bezgl. Abendessen um 18:30 gefragt hatten. Am nĂ€chsten Morgen fragten wir freundlich nach, ob ein late check out nach dem spaslot möglich wĂ€re (wir hatten ja erst einen slot nach check out, von 12:00-13:30 erhalten), worauf uns entgegnet wur

Schön, aber Preis-Leistung nicht gerechtfertigt

Das Hotel ist cool - modern, mit faszinierenden Details. Die Zimmer sind gross, allerdings war ich ĂŒberrascht, dass es weder einen Temperaturregler noch Fussbodenheizung gab: die Heizkörper waren ausgeschaltet, es war kalt im Zimmer. Im Badezimmer hab es keine Heizung die Fliessen ware SO kalt! Unser zimmer sollte Bergblick haben, war aber Nordseite mit Waldblich und nicht sehr privat. Warum das FrĂŒhstĂŒck so gut bewertet wurde, kann ich nicht verstehen. Der Kaffee war gut, allerdings gab es an warmer Auswahl RĂŒhrei (nicht fein, sehr trocken), Rösti (gut, und toll, dass es angeboten wurde), hart- und weichgekochte Eier. Ich habe mit dem weichgekochten angefangen - das Eigelb war wachsig, das Eiweiss schlabberig). Was fein war, waren die "Cold-Cuts": kleine Auswahl lokaler Produkte, qualitativ hochwertig. Yoghurt und BirchermĂŒsli, sowie Brot und croissants waren gut. Was mir gefehlt hat, war etwas frisches (Tomaten, Gurken, FrĂŒchte...). Das Personal war freundlich, nur durch Masken und Plexiglas musste man extrem laut reden um verstanden zu werden. Schön fand ich, dass ein Tisch im Restaurant reserviert wurde mit der Hotelzimmerbuchung, 2 Zeiten zur Auswahl. Schade fand ich, dass nicht das selbe mit der Sauna gemacht wurde: wir hĂ€tten gern Freitag nach unserer Wanderung zum Hotel gehen wollen, es hatte aber keinen Platz mehr. Samstag FrĂŒh um 9h konnten wir gehen - und ich muss sagen, der wellness Bereich ist zwar klein, aber sehr schön!

Immer noch schönes Hotel am Berg SĂ€ntis. Betonbau, moderne Zimmer, gutes FrĂŒhstĂŒck. War schon 4 x dort. Man merkt jetzt dass es mit den ersten Problemen losgeht. Japanische Toilette , jedoch Fernbedienung fehlte (kaputt?). Sofa auf dem Zimmer hatte 2 grosse Flecken (Zimmer 320). Sonst sehr sauber, tolle Dusche. BettwĂ€sche nicht sehr angenehm.

Sehr ruhig gelegen - auch fĂŒr lĂ€ngeren Aufenthalt

Super Hotel, sehr professionell gefĂŒhrt mit sehr freundlichem Personal. Grosse Zimmer. Dusche und Lavabo sind in das Zimmer integriert, was dieses sehr grosszĂŒgig erscheinen lĂ€sst. Das WC ist in einem separaten Raum. Die Glasscheiben, welche den Nassbereich abtrennen, sind sehr schön aber nachts auch gewohnheitsbedĂŒrftig, damit man nicht hinein lĂ€uft. GratisparkplĂ€tze: Es können die ParkplĂ€tze der SĂ€ntisbahn gratis benutzt werden, sofern es noch freie PlĂ€tze hat. Die Hoteleinstellhalle kostet aber zusĂ€tzliche 15.--. Die Stockwerksverteilung ist etwas gewohnheitsbedĂŒrftig: Parterre = Eingang zur SĂ€ntisbahn. 1. Stock = Hoteleingang / Restaurant / Morgenessen / Kasse SĂ€ntisbahn. 2. Stock = Reception. Der Lift vom Parterre fĂŒhrt nur in den 1.Stock. Dort muss in den Hotellift gewechselt werden. Im ersten Stock hat es aber einen Eingang von den oberen ParkplĂ€tzen der SĂ€ntisbahn her.

Das Hotel at SĂ€ntis is nothing like a 3* hotel. I would give it 4 1/2* for sure. From check in to check out the staff looks sfter you, is super friendly and help ful. The rooms are comfortable and well equipped. View of the mountain is stunning. The restaurant serves a very good breakfast buffet as well as dinner. Quality of the food is very high using a lot of regionally sourced products, inclusing cheese from the cheese fsctory across the street. We especially liked the short-holiday package that included half-board, a lunch pakket and a cable car ride up the SĂ€ntis mountain and the opportunity to have breakfast at the mountain top without any surcharge. In the dorect vicinity of the hotel there are a number of beautiful hiking tracks for various skill and stamina levels. We are already planning to come back.

New & Nice!

Note: I visited SchwÀgalp a few years ago when the old wooden hotel was still there. It was a very scenic place back then, but the new hotel is quite nice too and architecturally impressive. Time marches on!) We (senior couple, California) had a wonderful 2-nite stay in early Feb19. Unfortunately, the cable car was down due to an avalanche, but we walked snow trails and had a great time. The weather was perfect, sunny and 100% blue skies - lucky. We'll return when cable car (Schwebebahn) is back up and running. May take a while. The staff was excellent. An extraordinary thing happened: we had a young man as our waiter in hotel restaurant the first nite (2/5). We mentioned to him how delicious the "house bread" was. He had the kitchen staff bake us a loaf to take with us! He wrapped it up, the whole 9 yards. This is truly above and beyond. I have never had this happen in 60 years of travel. What a nice gesture. The young man is a huge asset to the hotel. General: I'm a big fan of Switzerland and have travelled through the country often over the decades and since the 1970s I've ridden all the train routes to exhaustion. SchwÀgalp (i.e., SÀntis Hotel) should be on everyone's list for a visit - a delightful place. Foot stomp: they have a nice spa in the hotel. Bring a bathing suit! Robes & slippers are provided. We used public transportation to reach hotel. As usual in CH all connections were right on time. I REALLY like that! We'll be back.
