| We had to cut our Swiss holiday short and return home due to mecical reasons, so we didn't stay at St. Gallen. It was a great pity as I was looking forward to going to Santis | ||

| The hostel was far from the station and at 8 in the night it was almost impossible to find. There was a crazy man in my dorm and my girlfriend was very scared to sleep in the night. The only good thing was the staff which was friendly and welcoming. | ||

| This was a very nice hostel, very clean, and the breakfast was awesome (and included!) The staff was friendly, but not around most of the time. It would have been nice to have somebody at reception more than six hours a day. There was nice kitchen, which made not eating out pretty difficult.
The biggest problem I encountered was finding the hostel. The directions say to take a bus to this certain stop, and then walk 10 minutes, however, it doesn't say what direction. I ended up walking uphill for about an hour before we actually saw signs pointing to the hostel. I recommend taking the tram when you first arrive. There is a stop right in front of the hostel. It's really convenient. | ||
