affordable great hotel with great location

Was a great stay, was actually the cheapest hotel room from our stay in Europe that week, but was still very comfortable, amazing location, and free parking garage. breakfast was very basic, though, no hot foods. Also with parking they only allow exit once, so if you plan to come in and out you will have to pay extra. Check in very easy using mailbox outside with code that was sent to us.

While our arrival was a bit rocky (arrived on a Sunday when there was no staff available) and the parking situation was scary (very narrow entryway), the rest of our stay was fine. The room was clean and comfortable (albeit a bit cramped), the location was handy to the center of town and to the meetings I had the next morning, the wifi worked, the breakfast was good.

Room was spotless, breakfast awesome, staff friendly and helpful, and it was excellent for its hotel category. Location perfect, lovely patio area, rooms are quiet, with washcloths and Kleenex! ( first European hotel I have ever visited that had washcloths! The breakfast had marvelous croissants, breads, cereals, juices, yogurts, meats, cheese, and fresh fruit. After that, we were gone most of the day, and came back to a quiet place to sleep. The church nearby does play the bells about 6 am, but you can shut your windows or enjoy as we did, and fall back asleep.Would love to stay there again!

Good hotel; odd environment

Spent one night at this odd hotel which is an adjunct of a rehab/old age facility in central St. Gallen. Location is excellent -- close to cathedral and famous library. Parking garage is a real benefit. Room small but typically Swiss -- immaculately clean and efficient. WiFi a little weak in the room. Good breakfast. Would stay here again.

Gerne wieder

Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstücksangebot war etwas ungewöhnlich. Käse, auch richtig Guten, gab es reichlich, aber Obst und Gemüse nur sehr wenig. Ein gemeinsamer Frühstücksraum mit den Bewohnern der Seniorenresidenz war ungewohnt aber auf keinen Fall negativ. Großes und unerwartetes Plus: Freifahrten mit dem ÖPNV. Die Freifahrten gelten nicht nur in St.Gallen sondern bis zum Bodensee, z.B. Rohrschach.
