“About as Picturesque as Swizerland can offer!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2011

I chose this property as it was a Radisson Blu, a brand I had used before and therefore trusted in a new place to be consistent. I was not disappointed.

The property is about 60 kilometers outside Zurich, and accessible by a train direct from the Zurich Flughaven. The train ride was about an hour and 10 minutes, and deposited me at a station maybe 10 minutes ride from the hotel. A taxi was available, and in no time I was at the front desk of the hotel.

The property shares it's first floor with a casino. The check in was efficient and I was shortly in my room.

The Business Room was nicely spaced, and had clean lines in it's organization and placement. Window sizes were large, and an automated levellor system was used with in-window blinds. The floor was part carpet, part wood, which I found comfortable.

Lighting was very good for the room. The bed was low, but very comfortable.

The bathroom was European small sized, but the stand up shower was surprisingly large for the room. All fixtures were clean, new and functioned well.

The first floor restaurant had a nice Breakfast Buffet, which was crowded at times, but service was overall excellent for coffee refills.

The town of St Gallen was within easy walking distance from the Hotel, and many restaurants and shoppes were nearby. The hotel itself is next to a brewery called Shutzengarten, which offered many fine beers in it's retail store.

The hotel features a spa and workout area, but as the workout area was very small, I chose instead to jog up the mountain in back of the hotel. In the cool morning air and steep elevations at times, it offered the optimal workout to start the day.

I experienced no problems during my stay, and my check out was as simple as my check in.

I would highly recommend the hotel as THE place to stay in St Gallen, and would easily return there in the future without hesitation

“Very friendly staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 March 2011

We booked the Radisson Blu since we had to be in Sankt Gallen for a look at the University. Turned out to be located on the bottom of the hill, only a 10 minute walk from there. The rooms are very comfortable, the staff is extremely helpful and the location great. Only a short walk to the picturesque city.

Will be returning in July!!

“modern appealing hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 December 2010

I liked most about the hotel the business class room (Nr. 718). Not very big, but with an nice, modern interior and a good sized bathroom/shower. Business class rooms are more spacious and on a higher floor with nice city view.
The hotel is very close to the olma location but not in the centre of the city. To the old town, it takes about 15 minutes walking. To the University of St. Gallen, it takes about 20 minutes walking.
For breakfast, there is a good selection with muesli, bread, cheese and hot dishes, you can order eggs (no extra charge). The restaurant again is modern and nice to look at. For dinner, I ordered room service. The food from the restaurant is excellent. Service in general is good and the staff friendly and helpful. The only big disappointment was the gym/spa. The gym has about 3 machines in a corner and the steam room was very small and not in use (you have to ask at the reception to heat it about an hour before use). Don't trust the pictures on the website for the spa/gym. I would stay again in this hotel. If spa facilities are important to you, you better stay at hotel Einstein and use the facilities from the nearby fitness center.

“The Radisson of St Gallen is a wonderful place to stay.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2010

The staff is courteous and helpful. The rooms are comfortable and spacious. The furnishings modern, but cozy. There is high-speed internet in the rooms (via ethernet cable) or in the lobby (wifi). There are vegetarian options on the menu, such as delicous risotto, and ravioli with truffles, along with fresh fish from the lake. The wine is delicious and the service is wonderful. There is also a small gym downstairs with a dry sauna so you can stay in shape during your stay. It is centrally located in St Gallen, a 10 minute walk to the Marktplaz and the Bahnoff.
