The staff were great: friendly, welcoming, accommodating. Many thanks! The location is a bit uphill, a half-hourish (a tad less) walk from the city centre. Wifi was not that great on the second floor where my room was located, on the first and ground floor it was great. The room was clean and the bed was comfy. I even got the free public transport ticket from the hostel for time I was there.

As I said, the wifi was pretty poor on the second floor. The lockers were usable only by inserting a 2 frank coin - which I didn't expect, and didn't bring any cash with me. The location is not ideal - it is a pretty steep uphill walk when coming from certain directions. Otherwise, there is a tram station nearby, which was really helpful.

The variety of brenkfast is limited but enough! Hopefully there will be warm food available in the future. Room and bathrooms are all very clean and well-maintained. The staff are so warm. You can enjoy the view of St. Gallen when having breakfast. Kitchen also looks very clean. It only takes about 15 minutes to walk to Drei Weihern, a relaxing place in the town where you can enjoy the view and see the 3 lakes. Although I booked a bed in 6-person room, in the first night I was the only customer and in the second night I shared room with 1 girl. So it was an extremely fantastic experience.

The location of hostel is not very convenient but still okay because public transportation in Switzerland is always reliable.

Everything is good and clean. This place met my expectations. For muslims, I would recommend having lunch or dinner at Sahara Restaurant, just 10 min walk from this place. It's a really great experience at St Gallen

Only the location. I needed to walk around 15 min from the train station and the journey was quite tiring with all my travel stuff. There is an uphill road going to this place and it's quite a great workout. I didn't say I disliked it. But it's recommended to go by taxi or any other option if you carry lots of things

Absolutely warmest welcome I've ever received in a hostel. Receptionists/ managers really went out of their way to take care of their guests. Breakfast was delicious. Tea is available all day. The place is spotless and so clean. I stayed for a week and it felt like home.

It's an older building so not a lot of plugs. But they are aware and offer assistance to their guests.

Very friendly staff, structure is well connected to the centre; clean. Beautiful scenery and peaceful.

If you're unlucky, there could be other noisy guests (sometimes schools stay here).

Spacious and quiet surroundings very close to the train station and very helpful and welcoming host. Generous breakfast in the morning is included. beds are very comfortable and clean and new bedding. shower area kept very clean.

Nothing to dislike only a niggle if wish to sit outside the lights are in a timer so a little frustration. i also notice the check in is after 5pm (that didn’t affect me).

Nice breakfast (included) and dinner (extra pay) Good location directly at a train stop, but city center is also walkable very friendly staff

It's a Youth hostel, so don't expect a fancy hotel. Toilet and shower are shared.

Great staff. Breakfast was more than adequate. Beautiful setting with easy access to street cars to downtown snd beautiful scenic views of Sankt Gallen and the Bodensee. The playroom for children was a bonus too

The bed was not the most comfortable and my roommates snored most of the night. Those are common drawbacks of hostels generally.

People at the reception were very friendly and helpful, the place was clean and the breakfast was very good. From the city center it's a 10-15 min walk uphill, so it offers a great view on Sankt Gallen. Highly recommended.

I had some trouble connecting to the WiFi, but it was not a big deal for me.

I really liked the mrs who owns the place. She is actually at the front desk. Very helpful with whatever I asked! Great breakfast included and overall a good and clean facility!
