I stay at this hotel whenever I am in the region for business. It is a great location with the train from Zurich and motorway, and also great for those wishing to explore Appenzell district and Lake Konstance. The hotel is located just in the edge of the old town in the centre of St Gallen, so there are shops and restaurants within a couple of minutes walk. Be warned, On Sunday’s there are very few places open to eat in winter so plan your meals wisely.
The rooms are simple, but always clean and comfortable. Some have been upgraded and are very comfortable and more modern. All the rooms I have stayed in are quiet and stocked with the necessary amenities.
The hotel has onsite parking and a valet service. There is also a fitness centre, bar, bistro & gourmet restaurants as well as a large conference centre.
The main reason I keep returning to this hotel, though, is the staff. They are are both professional and friendly and go out of their way to make your stay special. From receptionists, to night porters, housekeeping to bellman, they all go that extra mile that makes the biggest difference.
I highly recommend this hotel for both business and leisure travellers.
