Opt for a Room with a View

Several guests mentioned the panoramic views of the city and the beautiful setting with easy access to street cars to downtown and scenic views of Sankt Gallen and the Bodensee.

Consider the Location

The hostel is a bit far from the train station and old town, so taking a tram is necessary. It's also located on a hill, so be prepared for a bit of an uphill walk from the train station to the hostel.

Check for School Groups

If you prefer a quieter stay, it's advisable to call ahead and check if there are any school groups staying at the hostel to avoid potential disturbances.

Be Mindful of Room Selection

Some guests experienced issues with room allocation, such as being assigned to a room of a cook who lives and works at the hostel, which led to discomfort due to the smell of cigarettes and limited facilities. Ensure you get a regular room to avoid such inconveniences.

Take Advantage of Free Transportation Pass

The hostel provides a city transportation pass, making it easy to reach the city center.

Plan for Limited Bathroom Facilities

There are only two showers/toilets per floor, so be prepared for potential waiting times during peak hours.

Consider the Check-in Time

Note that the check-in time is after 5 pm, so plan your arrival accordingly.

Be Aware of Wi-Fi Limitations

Wi-Fi signal may be poor or not available in the rooms, so consider this if reliable internet access is important to you.

Enjoy the Outdoor Spaces

The hostel offers nice outdoor spaces, including a terrace/patio and a garden, providing pleasant areas to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

Take Note of Breakfast Quality

While the breakfast is generally praised, some guests found it to be below average, with limited options and high fees for certain items.
