浪子ppb:“It only takes three hours to drive from the northernmost tip of Switzerland to the southeastern corner, along the southern shore of Lake Constance, then turn south, passing through St. Gallen, Liechtenstein, Chur, and St. Moritz. The St. Gallen Cathedral, a world cultural heritage site, is the most elegant church I have ever visited in Europe.”

M32***23:“The St. Gallen Abbey Library is a super exquisite and grand library! It is really shocking, exquisite and magnificent ~ It is worth a visit, the momentum is great! The transportation is also very convenient, and it is a popular spot to check in ~”
Georgezou:“The Abbey of St. Gall is a monastery with a long history. Its architecture also plays an important role in Europe. It is a perfect reproduction of the architectural style of the Carolingian period. The interior decoration is very exquisite, especially the many wooden buildings such as the oak staircases. The entire monastery, including the church and the library, are world-famous historical relics.”
Guest User:“In St. Gallen, the hotel is very well located, just a few minutes away from the main station.
From my perspective, the service was good. The hotel incorporates some modern technology, including a service bot that delivers drinks directly to your room upon request.
There is a Japanese restaurant within the hotel. While I find it slightly overpriced, this is, of course, a matter of perspective.
For example, if you buy a drink and do not finish it, there is no way to keep it cool, which leads to unnecessary waste. Having a fridge would also allow guests to grab a cold drink whenever they need one.
I also noticed that the room was somewhat noisy due to the construction work around the hotel.
Overall, I would still recommend this hotel for a short business trip to St. Gallen.”
mingtak:“Overall facilities very good. Staff also polite. But experience with catering is below expectation.
I had dinner in the hotel on the first night, and choices were limited and expensive. I had a fish but found out half cooked during serving. They just took the remaining portion into the kitchen and re-cook it instead of replacing a new one.
Breakfast on last day was also annoying. Our orders of egg was delayed/forgotten ! After chasing, my wife's hard boil egg order became soft egg. And my fried egg order never came and I just gave up.
I guess visitors of the property typically has a car and I strongly recommend people to have meals outside.”
Use168:“Overall is Great with these notes :
1. Guest must be ready to climb because the location is quite hilly
2. It is good to have a Microwave in the unit”
