Help with finding a hotel
When my wife and I started planning our trip to Switzerland, we came across a website for a hotel that was in the side of a mountain. I cannot remember the name which means I cannot find any info on it. All I know is that it is literally in a mountain and the back wall is the mountain itself. Thanks, J

Might this be it?

This is what Rick Steves says about it:
"Berggasthaus Aescher promises a memorable experience. The 170-year-old house has only rainwater and no shower. Friday and Saturday nights sometimes have great live music, but are often crowded and noisy, with up to 40 people, and parties going into the wee hours. Monday through Thursday, you'll normally get a small, woody dorm to yourself. The hut is actually built into the cliff; its back wall is the rock itself."

Swandav2000, thank you very much, that is it. we have and extra night that is currently not planned for. Would that be a good spot? Or is it better for a day trip. the first few nights are in Murren so it would probably be a day trip from there if that is a realistic option.

Hi again,
I've never been there; I just found it with a google search, lol!
I just went to the website that I posted, got the address, and input it at google maps. Apparently, it is south of Appenzell (which is south of St. Gallen). That would be too far for a day-trip.
You may want to play with train schedules to see how easy/difficult it is to get to, and where nearby you may want to stay.
Have fun!
