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!

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.

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.

Nice Spot!
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.

Very low quality - ok for young backpakers
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.
