Wi-Fi is very poor or not available in the rooms. Location is a bit far from the train station and old town so need to take a tram. A bit of a hill between the train station and the hostel.

Very nice staff. Nice outdoor spaces.

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).

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.

A little bit far from the city centre. Take the tram because it’s up the hill

There’re lamps and sockets near each bed. Bright and spacious common areas, great view, quiet at night

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

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.

The reception is closed between 10-17, which was annoying. The room smelled like a swimming pool. There was only one small fridge for the entire hostel. Access by car is difficult, parking is only possible quite far away.

The staff was nice and helpful. The hostel has a great view of the city and has a nice garden. The facilities were in good condition.

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

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 bath towels are available upon request at the reception desk.

Overall great! The double room was newly renovated the same as the shared bathroom. The JH was not completely booked so it was a quiet and calm place. The breakfast included plenty of cold dishes (including cottage cheese, Philadelphia cheese, hummus, olives, gherkins etc.). The receptionist, Mrs Krško is extremely friendly and helpful and I have felt like her personal guest.

I was slightly confused by the high price (compared to other youth hostels) - It was not a huge price-difference when comparing to hotels with single bed rooms (~+23CHF/50%).

I really enjoyed the stay. The personel is very friendly. Breakfast was very good as well. A view highlights, one of them beeing the extraordinary view over the city.

No towels or hairdryer, below average breakfast (no vegetables, almost no fruit, bad coffee), high fee for a dog

Stayed in July 2022

well, there is not much to say price could be a bit lower, especially if you come from a third world country or just running on a low budget.

Breakfast was ok. location's well managed outdoor free-space is great, superb few included: travel-pass for all public transportation within a great area for two days. amazing!

Poor or no wi-fi singnal in the room.

Very nice and helpful lady who runs this hostel. There was no problem with late check in, all the instructions received. Beautiful hostel location. Car park available, rooms clean and tidy.

However, a little bit uncomfortable to have only 2 showers/toilets per floor. I needed to wait about 40 mins to be able to use a shower. But it was always clean, so, no farm done &)

Everything was nice - location, friendly and helpful stuff, clean, breakfast is ok, bus/tram stop is very close, as well as the parking for guests.

Stayed in June 2022

Location was perfect, so easy to go into town with the tram being one second away from the hostel and next to a great green area to go swimming or hiking or walking. Magnificent view of the surroundings and the city. The staff were the nicest people I have met to date in hostels. So welcoming and helpful.

I would appreciate some fan/ventilator in those warm days and also a warm food option for the breakfast

The staff was really friendly and we were provided the city transportation pass that made reaching the centre really easy.

The staff was very supportive. They actually provided me a good service as well as additional information about the area around.

Although the staff was friendly they messed up my booking. The hostel was busy but not completely full. However someone decided to assign me to a room of a cook who lives and works at the hostel instead of a bed in a regular room (there were many families with kids but it shouldn't matter as everyone is an equal customer). The room I got was on the sub-basement floor and not refurbished so not as nice as in photos: small windows that couldn't be open, squeaky, hard to open WC & shower rooms that are a nightmare to use at night. The cook, a nice guy, was a smoker so the room smelled of cigarettes and it was very stuffy. There was only one plug at one end of the room so the extension lead ran across the room to power his gear. There was another person in the same situation as me and equally disappointed. It was unfair on us and as well as the cook to be in the same room especially as the cook had to wake up at 5:30 am to start work. That caused a bit of conflict when the other guy came back from the town at 2 am. Ridiculous situation that could be avoided as there were empty beds in rooms taken by the families. It was a very uncomfortable stay in a dingy, run down room. I saw the other rooms that are advertised and they look pleasant and fresh. Make sure you get a regular room. The value for money is not that great as the hostel is quite far out from the city centre and there are only 2 trains per hour and none late at night so a long uphill walk awaits you after staying out late.

Access to a microwave and kettle in the canteen.

all excellent

Little far from the center but the tram stop is just 1-2 minutes walk from the hostel.

The staff are welcoming and the front desk was accomodating. The breakfast is typical breakfast buffet in a hostel. The toilet and bath are clean.
