“Comfortable and friendly hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 October 2009

We stayed for 3 nights at this hotel. I was a little concerned that the quality would not be great as it was quite a bit cheaper than others in the are, but it is right next door to the Olma Messen exhibition halls which was where we needed to be. It is a 5 minute taxi ride from the main station (CHF13.50) but within 10 minutes easy walk of the town centre.
The hotel is arranged over 4 floors and even the single rooms are quite spacious. The rooms overlooking the road did have some traffic noise but this was not noticable once the windows were closed.
The beds and pillows are very comfortable. The rooms are a little dated in style, but very clean and nice to be in. TV worked well with a good choice of channels.
The bathroom was immaculate and the shower pretty good. Plenty of hot water and loads of towels provided.
Breakfast is a cold buffet but a decent selection of things - cereals, yoghurt, fruit, cheese, eggs, bread, croissant, toast, jams & preserves, teas and cofffees and available from 7 until 10.
Staff were really helpful - we arrived at 12 and there was no problem with the rooms being available at that time, and they were well serviced during our stay. Hotel recommmendations and reservations were not a problem.
I would definately recommend this hotel to anyone in the area.

“Excellent hotel for the value in Switzerland”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 September 2009

We stayed in St. Gallen for 2 nights as a point to visit northeast Switzerland. The Hotel Gallo was an excellent value - particularly compared to others in the city. Included in the rate was breakfast and internet - there is a small parking lot next to the hotel at an additional charge. The walk into the city was about 10 minutes. We had a very spacious room and bathroom that had been upgraded and the hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay at this hotel again.

“Pleasant, comfortable and friendly”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 April 2009

A 24 room hotel. Conveniently located for the old town. The bedroom was of reasonable size with good bathroom. WiFi everywhere in the hotel. Breakfast was OK, but not fantastic. All the staff, however, were very friendly and helpful.

people found this review helpful

we had a very pleasant 1 night stay at the gallo hotel. the room was beautiful and very spaciaus, the bathroom was marveleuos, the staff was very attentive and helpfull. breakfast is a reach tasty continental breakfast served in a lovely cosy dinning room. the location is very convinient, close to restaurants and a 10 minutes walk to the main attractions.
we had a room facing the road. Inspite the fact that the hotel is on a buisy road. when the windows were closed, it was quite quiet. when some ventilation needed, it was somewhat noisy.
the botom line is that we enjoyed our stay.
