Right in the middle of the old town, beautiful rooms in a medieval building. Electonic key on the smartphone.

Rooms are very good with good desk location good ! Reception only opens at 4 pm a problem for early overseas arrival!

The hotel was in a perfect location - right next to the key area attractions. The room was clean and tidy but was a little on the small side. It was a little frustrating that the front desk was not staffed in the afternoon of Sunday for check in.

Tucked into a quiet stone street just around the corner from the Abbey and the old town, we lucked out and ended up here, at the best place to stay when exploring St. Gallen for the first time. We’ll be back!

A nice friendly hotel in central Sf Gallen. Clean and modern with friendly staff.

We had a great experience. We initially visited St Gallen just to go to The Library, and didn’t realize how close this hotel was to the library. If we ever make it back here, I will definitely book this hotel. We loved this area.

We loved our two rooms; spacious, clean, nicely supplied. Registration was straightforward. Handy storage lockers on site (but you will need 2 CHF coins to use them).

A wonderful little place, in the midst of the historic part of town. Charming, extremely helpful staff, very good breakfast. I would re-book here in a second, we had a fantastic stay.

This hotel caters almost exclusively to tour groups. It was very noticeable throughout my stay.

The hotel is centrally located, so you can easily walk everywhere. The reception is only open certain hours which is inconvenient especially when you arrive when it’s closed.

A bit far away from the train station but acceptable. Check in time in the afternoon (after 4pm) is not desirable. The breakfast is simple and basic. The room is neat and clean.

I have taught at the University of St. Gallen twice a year for years, but never stayed at the Vadian. Don't be fooled by the two stars, it's a first-rate hotel, great location (a few blocks from the railway station and steps to the wildly Baroque abbey church). After more than 200 trips to Europe, I known European hotels, and the Vadian is great value.

We spent 4 nights and had a great time, I would very much recommend this hotel and we would definitely stay there again. Joe and Mimi

The hotel is very clean, well kept. The corridors are long and many doors and odd stairs tricky with luggage. Otherwise excellent location. In the old town. Handy little kitchen next to our room. Would definitely go back to this hotel.

The hotel has a great location in the center of the city. The historic area has great shopping options. You can't check in until 4:00pm.

Great location and good value for money.

Difficult to get to this hotel from the train station, the streets are a maize and frequently unmarked. The hotel is not open until 4:00PM, there are a few lockers to store a suitcase. A carryon size suitcase is the largest that fits and you must have a two-franc coin to access the locker or you'll be toting your luggage all day. Their is an elevator but you need to take the bags up one flight of stairs to get to it! The room is very cramped! No furniture, just a table, so you must "live" out of your suitcase. The bathroom is so small the door huts the toilet so you must close the door to use the bathroom. The sink in the room, not in the bathroom. For a similar price we had far superior hotels throughout Switzerland, many even included breakfast. This place is just a little better than a youth hostel bust much more expensive. The staff are friendly but that does not make up for the many inconveniences.
