Einstein St.Gallen

We had an excellent stay at Einstein during our visit to St. Gallen. Having travelled as a family of three from Zurich after an international flight, we found it effortless throughout our entire stay at the Hotel. Upon arrival - checking-in & parking the car in the garage were all very easy. The location of the Hotel is perfect to explore the city of St. Gallen. The breakfast hall adjacent to the main Hotel was huge in size, plentiful & also has a great café / restaurant during the day in the same area. The rooms were decent in size, comfortable, well appointed and very quiet. The service from the staff ( no matter what area they were in ) was also of a high-standard and very accommodating / friendly. Overall, a great stay and a great Hotel.

We had a fantastic weekend in this beautiful city. The hotel is located in the historic part of St.Gallen and close to shopping and attractions. I had reserved for the wrong date but the reception team solved this issue in an instant with a smile. The hotel team is very friendly and always eager to chat and share their favourite restaurants or sights. The breakfast is splendid and so is the Bar. (We didn’t do the restaurant, apparently it has Michelin Stars). The Bar is amazing and always crowded. There is a speakeasy style in the back that offers a wide range of cigars. We tried the gym and it is gigantic. The kids enjoyed the pool in the meantime. To sum up, we will be back in town and it’s definitely going to be the Einstein again.

Great hotel with excellent staff; definitely a solid four-star hotel. I have stayed here twice, each time for more than three nights, and on my first visit I was pleasantly surprised to receive a complimentary upgrade. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable, and you even have the option to order a different pillow if the one provided is not to your liking. The location is perfect, close to the train station and all amenities. The service and staff were excellent, and guests also have access to a pool and sauna located within a private gym.

Our stay at the Hotel Einstein in St. Gallen had many wonderful elements. The location is excellent, offering convenient access to the city's main attractions. Furthermore, the staff were friendly and welcoming which made the overall atmosphere quite pleasant.||||However, a significant issue was encountered regarding the in-room climate control, which directly contradicted the hotel's advertised amenities. The hotel website clearly states that rooms feature individually adjustable air conditioning (AC). Upon finding our room too warm, we were informed by the staff that the central heating had been switched on for the entire building and that the AC function was therefore disabled. We were advised to "open the windows" instead.||||While I appreciate the staff's response to the situation, it is unacceptable for a hotel to advertise a key comfort amenity like air conditioning if its functionality is dependent on the seasonal operation of central heating. This is highly misleading to guests who specifically book based on the promise of individual climate control. Being unable to adjust the temperature in the room when it's too warm, despite advertised AC, significantly detracted from an otherwise excellent stay and impacted the quality of our sleep.||||I highly recommend the hotel review its online description to accurately reflect the true, limited, seasonal operation of its climate control system.

I’m frequently in st Gallen and it was my first time staying at Einstein, now I don’t want to stay anywhere else. Really comfortable sized rooms, great service and in a good location! I was personally very happy with the real size gym and access to the pool + saunas.

Not commenting on prices, it’s four start hotel of course is not the cheapest one The rooms were extremely clean good quality shampoos shower gel etc The breakfast it’s worth the price, you have variety of food options coffee drinks and fruits probably if you go to a coffee shop would spend more for what you get from the hotel. And of course all of the staff are friendly and helpful

Great modern hotel in a nice location. Loved their decor, excellent food options, really good bar (Roman is a fantastic guy) and of course with wine bar / store with an impressive selection of wines.

Comfortable hotel in great location and within easy walking distance of the mainline station, delightful historic Old Town and all the major attractions. Take the funicular up to visit 3 lakes and a wonderful view of St. Gallen and beyond. Cathedral Bistro great place for a refreshment stop. Had delicious local cuisine at Restaurant Barz and Wiryschaft Zurich alten Post (one of the oldest restaurants in town).

I stayed here for a week for work almost 10 years ago. I don't think they had Yelp (or at least it didn't cover Switzerland) back then. This hotel was quite accommodating and the staff was very friendly. The room was a bit on the small side, but then again most European hotel rooms are small in comparison to the US, and it was just me staying by myself. Plus, the point is to get out and see the city, not stay in your room! The breakfast here is GREAT. If this were just a breakfast restaurant it would get 4 stars alone just for that. I hope to come back some day.

I loved this hotel, full stop. The facilities were good, the service was good, and the location was perfect. Stayed here for 5 nights while I was in St. Gallen for a work conference. There are a surprising number of hotels in town, and the Einstein is definitely on the high end of all of them. It's probably the longest walk from the train station, but it's still walkable in ten minutes, fully loaded down with luggage. It's built right behind the old town shopping district, the Klosterviertel, and very close to the funicular. I stayed in a double room on the ladies floor (the only discernible difference was that we received two women's magazines, one in German and one in English). Our room was large and airy, particularly for a European hotel, and there were great amenities: a Nespresso coffeemaker, free bottled water (sparkling and still), an umbrella, and a full pillow menu. The bathroom was lovely- all marble, with a heated floor, high-end bath products, robes, slippers, and a heated towel rack. I called down for an extra pillow and adapter from the front desk and they were prompt and polite in delivering them to our room. The breakfast was an additional charge (25 Francs, not insignificant), but it was impressive! It is held in the lower building, and there are a wide array of options: coffee/espresso drinks, at least 4 types of juices, American style hot items (scrambled eggs, bacon, waffles, etc), and a lovely continental spread. Charcuterie, 4 types of cheese (they're all delicious!), a variety of fresh, homemade breads, croissants and other pastries, individual jars of jams and the Swiss version of Nutella (higher quality chocolate), fresh honeycomb (!), yogurt, muesli, fresh fruit, and more. Breakfast was a highlight every day. If I find myself in St. Gallen in the future (which wouldn't be too surprising, given that I've been there twice in the past two years!), I will certainly stay at this hotel again. I actually preferred it to my hotel in Zurich from last year, and the city is very charming.

Very nice hotel, with excellent staff. The room was small (the bed took up almost the entire room), but nice. The hotel is a short walk from many shops and restaurants, and the desk clerks were very helpful with suggestions nearby.
