웰니스호스텔4000

한때 호스텔러로서 국내 유스호스텔에 400박 이상이었지만, 이번 숙박한 호텔은 스위스의 유스호스텔 협회원의 숙박시설이었습니다. 원칙적으로 셀프 서비스입니다만, 특히 불만은 느끼지 않고, 상기의 평가와 같이 지금까지 숙박했던 시설 중에서도 훌륭하다고 평가할 수 있는 것이었습니다. 이번은 사정에 의해, 수영장, 웰니스, 사우나등은 사용하지 않았습니다만, 즐거운 2일간을 보낼 수 있었습니다.

Located right next to the bus station. Offers amazing views of the mountains. Clean, has spa(extra) and swimming pool (included). Good choice for breakfast, dinner is also available for extra 19,5 CHF. Price is OK for what you get.

Saas Fee, along with Zermatt, Gstaad and St Moritz is probably one of the most expensive locations in Europe, so what counts as value needs to be recalibrated for this premium Swiss resort context. So if you are expecting a $50 youth hostel you will be disappointed to pay $120 per night. The WellnessHostel4000 is cheap by Saas Fee and Zermatt standards, not by international hostel standards, and maybe not by normal Swiss village hotel standards. However... in summer all gondolas are free if you stay overnight, so what you pay more on the hostel you save on the Saas Fee gondola fees. Note that the 4 franc coffee and croissant offering in the hostel cafe will not be beat elsewhere, though, as well and the 19 franc dinner buffet is similarly cheaper than any restaurant in town. It is expensive but cheaper than all other alternatives! However, Saas Fee is a stunning setting - a small village nestled under mighty mountains with towering peaks and glaciers around and excellent winter sports and summer hiking. And the hostel has prime real estate - the closest ho(s)tel to the bus station and the car parking house in the car free village. The staff are excellent - really, really friendly, helpful and positive. There are free lockers for luggage storage. We stayed twice and on both occasions the staff were superb. The 4 bed room was fine, very clean. The room for the first stay had two bunk beds, the second one bunk bed and two singles for a slightly higher cost. You are supposed to take the linen off the bed yourself and deposit it in the wooden box, this takes a minute and was not a hassle. The wifi is reliable, the room comfortable, with each bed having a USB charging point. The big benefit is the spa, which is up there with the best five star hotels, featuring two huge saunas with full size glass windows looking out over a forested gorge, a big steam room, chill out room, jacuzzi, which are all textile free, no kids allowed, but you are given a large cotton hammam towel to cover your modesty. There are ice showers, freezing fog sprays and gentle rain shower, and a full indoor swimming pool. All this only costs 13 francs per day to enter if you are staying - superb value and a great facility. The room key works for spa and pool access, locker use and the room. There is also a gym, which we did not use as the outdoor activities were strenuous enough. Breakfast is simple, but included in the price, the buffet dinner more a value experience than a gourmet experience. Not luxury, but if you hike or ski all day, who cares?

Important: Cable Car and buses are for free in summer when you stay in Saas-Fee! Expensive for a hostel but very modern rooms. Nice breakfast buffet! Good dinner options available. Beautiful view from the terrace, room and dining area as well as from the swimming pool. Service at the reception could be a bit faster.

We had an amazing trip in this private hostel room. The moonlight was reflected countless times in the multiple layered window pane. It was a deep, multi-layered experience. Even the sauna was very nice, save and relaxing for tripping. And the people were so tolerant and open. Best recommendation!

the hostel is very clean and next to the parking ( no cars allowed in the village) great indoor pool with whirlpool . breakfast is ok but not so big! the staff were very friendly and helpful! nice view from the room to the mountains !
