This youth hostel is just a 15-minute walk from St. Gallen’s Old Town and 100 metres from the Birnbäumen Train Station. It enjoys a green hillside location overlooking the city.

The Youth Hostel St. Gallen features a children’s playroom, a library, and an internet corner. Guests can play table tennis on site and use the free Wi-Fi in public areas.

The staff was very supportive. They actually provided me a good service as well as additional information about the area around.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Even though I arrived very late, the host asked me if I was hungry. The room was very clean, the bed was very comfortable, and compared to the price, And this price includes breakfast, parking is free, I think everything is great. it is a cheap and high-quality place compared to St. Gallen standards. My home address in St. Gallen is now known :))

    The hotel is in a great location, very close to town. The room was very quiet and comfortable. But perhaps the best part of the stay was the owners. Christian was a kind, outstanding host. It really made you feel at home. Thank you!

    Great location for exploring the cuty and for train travel as well as the hotel is next to the central station. Renovated room and clean, nice bed and bathroom. Our room did not overlook the street so it was very quiet. Breakfast had good variety of cold and warm food and a nice homemade "jam" type spread. Good coffee making facility in the room!

    Excellent value for money. No frills, but not with that “budget” feel that so many other hotels in that price range have. Great location, cleanliness was fantastic - everything you need for this type of stay.
