Hotel-Restaurant Krone : Appenzellerstrasse 2, 9107 Urnäsch

This hotel is conveniently located just a 1-2 minute walk from the Urnäsch train station, making it easily accessible. The exterior is visually appealing, especially with the crown hanging from the main entrance side and the large sign displaying the hotel’s name makes it easy to spot. In addition to their hotel services, the hotel also offers a restaurant attached to it. While anyone, including hotel guests, can dine there, it’s recommended to make a reservation in advance, which can be done at the hotel reception. We booked a twin bed room, ours was on the third floor, which had an elevator for easy access. Although the room wasn’t particularly spacious, it was clean and comfortable for our stay. They provided complimentary amenities and mini snacks , which was a delightful touch. Thank you! If you wish, you could ask for daily room cleaning and towel changes, they would always leave behind mini snacks each time, was very happy for this! The room was relatively quiet at night, and the noise from other rooms was manageable. The highlight of our stay was the opportunity to witness the Alpfahrt from our room window. It felt like we had VIP seats, which was a significant plus for our stay. However, it’s important to note that this experience is only available during the Alpfahrt and Alpabfahrt, which typically occur in May or September. We booked the room with breakfast included, and it was an absolute delight. The breakfast selection was impressive, with a visually appealing array of dishes. The food was delicious, and the best part was that they offered warm breakfast items like scrambled eggs, sausages, or bacon . I would happily return to this hotel just for the breakfast, hahaha. The only downside of our entire stay was the ventilation in our bathroom. It wasn’t functioning properly, even when we closed the door during showers and opened the windows in the other room. The room would still fill up with steam and become humid, which took a while to dissipate. It would be fantastic if they could rectify this issue. Despite this minor issue, I would highly recommend this hotel. The staff was friendly, especially the breakfast lady, who was always happy to chat with guests.

Very bad experience. They forgot about my food to start. Then served someone else with wrong food too. After that person returned the plate. They served me with fries with partially sauce form the other person plate. That during Corona time. Unacceptable. After asking for the reason. The waiter answer treat I may ask but will not get the answer. How rude!

Reviews of the restaurant are hilariously accurate. While we were there for dinner, they brought wrong orders to our table and three other tables around us. Everyone’s food took at least an hour or up to two hours to arrive. The server was very upbeat about the whole thing, and told one table that they should be happy with the food they got because it’s better than nothing and it would take too long to correct the order. The food itself was OK. On the day we visited, it was the only restaurant open in town. So I guess they don’t have a lot of pressure to improve.
