Pros:

The hotel is historic and previously was military officers housing. It sits near a beautiful park and with an easy walkable incline. Highly recommend this hotel when staying in St. Gallen, Switzerland.

Hotel with character
Pros:

This hotel as character , it as an old feel to it , rooms are big with wooden floors , good shower , and it might not appeal to everyone but I like it and I loved how breakfast was served and it had a nice European cafe style feel . It’s a good 10 minute walk from station easy to find and would recommend this hotel.

Simplicity, authenticity and hospitality
Pros:

The beautiful historical hotel is a ten minutes walk from the station. The big green park outside is a sportsground but also has many benches. The hotel/restaurant terrace is lined with magnificent old chestnut trees. Friendly welcome, fast check-in and check-out.
Our room on 3rd floor was big and spacious with few selected furniture and a water caraffe with glasses which can be filled with drinkable tap water. The only digital device in the room is an ipad. Pure sustainable.
Taking the staircase down to the restaurant instead of the lift, we were surprised by an intriguing art exhibition.
If you‘re into culture, sustainability and social responsibility, you will feel at home at this place.

Pros:

Fantastisk og ekstraordinært sted! Gode parkeringsforhold og tæt på offentlig trafik. Æstetiske og smukke værelser. Dejlig restaurant! Fantastisk venlig og kompetent betjening - de skaffede os f.eks. busbilletter til et særevent.

Pros:

Sehr gutes Frühstück.
Freundliche, zuvorkommende Mitarbeiter und Gastgeber.
Auch der Hund wurde wie ein Gast behandelt mit Wasser, Leckerchen und Decke.
Die Einrichtung ist suber, und spartan.
Wenn es im Zimmer für 3 Personen auch 3 Sitzgelegenheiten hätte, wäre das super. Ebenso ist das Licht für düstere Tage im Zimmer zu schlummrig gewählt.
Das Preis Leistungsverhältnis ist jedoch sehr gut.

Pros:

Minimalistisch, puristisch, alles was hier gemacht wird ist top - sonst wird es weggelassen. Kleine Karte, grosses Essen. Spartanische Zimmer, himmlische Betten. Geiles Parkett - klar, dass es quiets hen muss! TOP!

Très bon séjour!
Pros:

Très bon séjour, chambres propres, très spacieuses.
Petit déjeuner complet, restaurant vraiment agréable, service sympa.
Nous aurions apprécié avoir 1-2 options de repas moins "élaborés" pour les petits enfants, qui sont sortis de table en ayant faim car n'ayant pas vraiment mangé. Mais pour les autres la cuisine était délicieuse!
Merci

Excellent family stay in St Gallen
Pros:

We stayed in a family room for 5 nights and really enjoyed our stay. The rooms are uncluttered and pristine, the beds comfy. There is no tv, no tea/coffee and no desk, which some people may miss, but the room and bathroom are perfect and rates very reasonable for Switzerland.

Breakfast was good - the staff were very friendly and catered well for one of our kids who is dairy intolerant. We had afternoon tea and dinner during our stay and both also very good.

The hotel is in a really nice park which has a playground for the kids, and the hotel itself has table tennis and other outside games for the family to enjoy.

Location is great - just a 10 min easy walk from the main train station and city centre.

We will definitely stay again.

Ohne Sommerhitze wäre alles bestens
Pros:

Das Hotel hat eine sehr gute Lage und wir waren insgesamt sehr zufrieden. Insbesondere das sehr reichhaltige Frühstück wusste zu überzeugen. Das Zimmer war auch schön. Einziges Manko war, dass wir die Fenster in unserem Zimmer nicht komplett verdunkeln und das Zimmer bei der grossen Aussenhitze auch nicht richtig herunterkühlen konnten.

Peculiar , not a business hotel
Pros:

A parking area is available for guests. The small and atypical hotel is very close to a green park good for a walk /run. There is an area to stay outside for a drink in the good season; restaurant , bar and this exterior are shared with people not guest if the hotel. Room are simple and neat, quite basic and old in their forniture. I had no desk , chair and tv in my room, but they offer I pad at the reception and there is a Bose sound system in the room. I took a salad for dinner, maybe too dressed but good; with two glasses of wine about 42chf. The reception is a desk within the restaurant/bar

Retro mit toller Ambiente
Pros:

Sehr schönes Haus, sorgfältig und nachhaltig renoviert. Die Zimmer für meinen Geschmack etwas kühl eingerichtet (dafür 70iger Jahre Stil). Bettdecken zu kurz.
