The hotel has cozy rooms decorated in white and purple, giving a comfortable feel, although they may appear larger in pictures. The service is friendly, helpful, and attentive, making the stay enjoyable. Located in the heart of Old Town, it offers a simple but nice breakfast and beautiful deluxe rooms. However, the price level in St Gallen is a bit higher compared to other Swiss towns.
