Hotel Vadian

This hotel represents great value for money, and is in a great location. The staff are nice but have limited English. The biggest downside to the hotel is that reception is not always available. If you need your bike from their lockup, you must make sure you do this before reception closes.

Hotel near the very center of the city. Rooms were clean equipped with air conditioning, spacy bathroom. Breakfast was a simple cold buffet with fresh bread directly from bakery Overall very nice stay.

Good value very close to the Abbey Library and only a 8-10 minute walk to the train station. Handy luggage storage for early arrival or people leaving town after check out. Reception was friendly. Room was fine, bathroom was renovated and had a good amount of space, storage, and place to put your things. Hallways were a bit long and odd. No iron or refrigerator which is a bit annoying. I considered deducting a star as the air conditioning was not on before our arrival and the room was at 28.5° C/83° F which was quite uncomfortable, it took hours to get down to even 24° C/75° F and then also shut off in the middle of the night due to a timer we had not set. I get trying to be cost and environmentally friendly but if you have high occupancy I bet keeping the air conditioning on is more efficient than every guest having to turn it on full power and wait hours.

Fantastic location in the old town. Walk everywhere and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of this charming medieval town. Rooms are on the smaller side but clean and well appointed. Staff is friendly and the nearby parking is convenient. Highly recommended.

Delightful/romantic location in the old city section right next to the Abbey church and library. Beautiful, spacious rooms, well equipped and very comfortable. Excellent reception staff. Lockers available for luggage storage, although a few more would be ideal (and you need 2 CHF coins to operate).

We stayed in one of the apartments, not the hotel proper. There was plenty of space for us to stretch out in the evenings, and the kitchen and bath were both enough for us. Nothing fancy, but certainly comfortable. The elevator is delightfully old school (no spoilers). Breakfast was back at the hotel, about a block away. Good coffee and plenty of variety in fruit, cheese, and meats. No complaints really!

This entire hotel was incredibly clean. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast room is lovely and breakfast was filling. The staff were friendly and helpful. Check-in was very quick. Hotel Vadian Garni is very close to the Abbey Library. It is only a few steps away. And the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend this hotel.

We stayed in the dependency around the corner. Super quiet, very large room for the 3 of us. Beautiful views, and loved the church bells! Barbara is a lovely person and an amazing resource for all things St. Gallen! She helped me research my ancestry, and found out where my grandparents were married and lived. She speaks fluent English. Breakfast was fantastic as well - LOVE the Swiss homemade fruit muesli. Excellent location of the hotel - right in the center of the old town across the street from the most beautiful cathedral in the world! Lots of restaurants and shops nearby. I can't recommend this hotel more. Our bathroom was HUGE - with a magnifying makeup mirror!
