Clean, simple and pretty good all around.
The staff were great: friendly, welcoming, accommodating. Many thanks! The location is a bit uphill, a half-hourish (a tad less) walk from the city centre. Wifi was not that great on the second floor where my room was located, on the first and ground floor it was great. The room was clean and the bed was comfy. I even got the free public transport ticket from the hostel for time I was there.
As I said, the wifi was pretty poor on the second floor. The lockers were usable only by inserting a 2 frank coin - which I didn't expect, and didn't bring any cash with me. The location is not ideal - it is a pretty steep uphill walk when coming from certain directions. Otherwise, there is a tram station nearby, which was really helpful.

Pretty normal besides the lack of lock
Clean.
Hostel door wouldn’t lock. Had to prop bag against door. Would have been nice to have curtains on bed for privacy and chargers (as opposed to just on the floor)

Good place for solo travelling
Very friendly staff, structure is well connected to the centre; clean.
Beautiful scenery and peaceful.
If you're unlucky, there could be other noisy guests (sometimes schools stay here).

It was okay
The staff was nice and helpful. The hostel has a great view of the city and has a nice garden. The facilities were in good condition.
The reception is closed between 10-17, which was annoying. The room smelled like a swimming pool. There was only one small fridge for the entire hostel. Access by car is difficult, parking is only possible quite far away.

Excellent, for anybody
People at the reception were very friendly and helpful, the place was clean and the breakfast was very good. From the city center it's a 10-15 min walk uphill, so it offers a great view on Sankt Gallen. Highly recommended.
I had some trouble connecting to the WiFi, but it was not a big deal for me.

Disastrous experience
Access to a microwave and kettle in the canteen.
Although the staff was friendly they messed up my booking. The hostel was busy but not completely full. However someone decided to assign me to a room of a cook who lives and works at the hostel instead of a bed in a regular room (there were many families with kids but it shouldn't matter as everyone is an equal customer). The room I got was on the sub-basement floor and not refurbished so not as nice as in photos: small windows that couldn't be open, squeaky, hard to open WC & shower rooms that are a nightmare to use at night. The cook, a nice guy, was a smoker so the room smelled of cigarettes and it was very stuffy. There was only one plug at one end of the room so the extension lead ran across the room to power his gear. There was another person in the same situation as me and equally disappointed. It was unfair on us and as well as the cook to be in the same room especially as the cook had to wake up at 5:30 am to start work. That caused a bit of conflict when the other guy came back from the town at 2 am. Ridiculous situation that could be avoided as there were empty beds in rooms taken by the families. It was a very uncomfortable stay in a dingy, run down room. I saw the other rooms that are advertised and they look pleasant and fresh. Make sure you get a regular room. The value for money is not that great as the hostel is quite far out from the city centre and there are only 2 trains per hour and none late at night so a long uphill walk awaits you after staying out late.

Good Hostel
The staff are welcoming and the front desk was accomodating. The breakfast is typical breakfast buffet in a hostel. The toilet and bath are clean.
Little far from the center but the tram stop is just 1-2 minutes walk from the hostel.

The stay was great. Nothing unexpected - but lots of good stuff.
I really enjoyed the stay. The personel is very friendly. Breakfast was very good as well. A view highlights, one of them beeing the extraordinary view over the city.
I was slightly confused by the high price (compared to other youth hostels) - It was not a huge price-difference when comparing to hotels with single bed rooms (~+23CHF/50%).

For one night stay - very convenient.
Everything was nice - location, friendly and helpful stuff, clean, breakfast is ok, bus/tram stop is very close, as well as the parking for guests.
However, a little bit uncomfortable to have only 2 showers/toilets per floor. I needed to wait about 40 mins to be able to use a shower. But it was always clean, so, no farm done &)

Amazing
Location was perfect, so easy to go into town with the tram being one second away from the hostel and next to a great green area to go swimming or hiking or walking. Magnificent view of the surroundings and the city. The staff were the nicest people I have met to date in hostels. So welcoming and helpful.

An okay hostel, horrible timing
It was very spacious and had a nice green area with views of the city.
There was a school class there at the same time and they Made my stay a living nightmare. They Were always screaming and banging on floor and doors, and the shower room looked Absolutely awful (see photo). It didnt seem as if the teachers or the personel did anything to make them act respektfully. They acted like they owned the place.
So my tip is to call ahead to see if There is a school staying There, if There is , do NOT go!

Für einen Kurzüberlaub völlig in Ordnung - guter Jugendherbergsstandard!
Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Frühstück war für eine Jugendherberge in Ordnung. Für Wanderausflüge top Lage. Das Haus machte insgesamt einen guten Eindruck. Die Gemeinschaftsdusche/ das Gemeinschafts-WC war relativ sauber. Die Karte für den ÖPNV.
Eine zusätzliche Ablage im Zimmer wäre toll gewesen. Gäste, die sich nicht an das Rauchverbot in den Zimmern gehalten haben. Dass die eigenen Handtücher mitgebracht werden mussten.

Extras y sin ducha
Las camas fueron cómodas y buen desayuno, el lugar estaba limpio.
Nos dieron una habitación en el primer piso, y cuando entramos ya estaba ocupada. Cuando nos cambiaron al piso de abajo no nos aclararon q en ese piso no cuentan con duchas por lo q no pudimos bañarnos.
Además al llegar nos cobraron 54CFH. Siendo que ya habíamos pagado la totalidad de la reserva y solo faltaba pagar 10FCH del parking y 4FCH del puesto turístico. En total nos salio bastante caro por no tener duchas, por la misma plata podíamos pagar otro lugar más completo.
