Cold war hospital room?

Hotel room looks like a hospital room 50 years ago. Terrible hotel, overpriced, and far from the centre.

Not a hotel, it's a B&B

Firstly, this is not a hotel, but a B&B. It DOES NOT have a lift. So if you are visiting with people with the mobility problems or have lot of luggage, PLEASE think 10 times as it's a 4 story building. And there was no one to help!! The rooms were a bit okay, but the beds were just to small even for the kids - all of us got the same sized beds anyway, so you can imagine how uncomfortable they were. There aren't many restaurants nearby, so your choices for dinner are very limited. And this is not cheap. So I do not think I got value for money.

Decent option with a few notes

The hotel is situated not far from the centre but vehicle is advised. Property has several rooms. No check-in desk per se and there may be nobody on-site. There is a lock box next to the entrance door. You enter a code provided to you via e-mail and a set of keys are released. After that, you open entrance door and your room. The room is on the smaller side (it is a budget hotel) with the sink and shower in the room. Expect no privacy while taking a shower. The toilet is separated but, again, it is not sound proof by any means. I suppose it is OK if you travel solo...other rooms may have different set up. Wi-Fi is free but you need to register / receive SMS code first. Breakfast was very good: fresh coffee / assortment of yogurts / cold cuts / eggs / etc. NOTE: The ownership of the hotel changes on 1 April 2016. The current proprietor sold the property to an investor from China.

Nice hotel, as with all things in Switzerland a bit pricey, but not by comparison with other hotels in St Gallen. The Breakfast is very good but the price is added on top of the room price, so if you are going to pay for it make sure you have time to sit and enjoy it. I have stayed at this hotel before, and will stay again in the future. The staff is very friendly and the hotel is well maintained.

Äußerst zuvorkommender und freundlicher Wirt mit enem hervorragenden nicht zu übertreffenden Frühstück mit frisch zubereiteten Müsli und Früchten, Marmelade. Auch der Empfang und Betreuung mit Parkplatzbereitstellung war aussergewöhnlich.

自動車での旅行向き

ホテルは良い印象。 ただ立地は不便である。 駐車場は無料であり自動車での旅行にはよいが歩きには不向き。 長期滞在向きに作られているのではないだろうか。 それを除けば、景色もよく静かであり、ホテルのレストランも美味しいかった。 駅まで20～25分程度の距離を歩いてみたが（急な坂道あり）景色（山と牧草地）は抜群である。

review of Sporting Hotel

I do like to have someone at a hotel to welcome me, someone at reception. This hotel was a real "on line" thing and there was no one on arrival. However, the next morning made up for it with exceptionally good breakfast and friendly service. Hotel was immaculately clean. Parking also available.

Perfekt!

Die Zimmer Einrichtung ist in einem perfekten Zustand, gemütlich und 1A sauber! Habe selten so saubere Zimmer gesehen wie hier... Das Frühstückbuffet ist mit viel Liebe gemacht (frisches, aufgeschnittenes Obst) und bietet alles was man braucht (...und mehr)! Werde wieder kommen.

Huge suites, delicious breakfast!

Best hotel breakfast ever! Our host was so friendly and accommodating! There isn't a better value for a family, or group of 4 to 7 people. it's a bit too far to walk to the old city, abbey etc. But about 200 meters to a bus that takes you straight there or to the train station. I definitely recommend if you are not looking for spa type luxury. Just comfort and a homey feel!
