WellnessHostel4000

かつてホステラーとして国内のユースホステルに400泊以上しましたが、今回宿泊したホテルはスイスのユースホステル協会員の宿泊施設でした。 原則的にセルフサービスですが、特に不満は感ぜず、上記の評価のようにこれまで宿泊した施設の中でも素晴らしいと評価できるものでした。 今回は都合により、スイミングプール、ウェルネス、サウナなどは使用しませんでしたが、楽しい2日間を過ごすことが出来ました。

Super auberge avec spa incroyable

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?

Wollte meine Buchung mit 10 Tagen Vorlauf stornieren. Leider gab es kein Entgegenkommen, trotz allem Bitten. Dass das Hostel in der Hochsaison am Wochenende das Zimmer nicht weitervermieten kann, kann ich allerdings nicht glauben. Schade, aber keine Empfehlung.

Superbe auberge moderne avec piscine et très grand Wellness à côté du Busterminal. Chambres à 2,4 et 6 lits avec douche.

Preis-/Leistung stimmen nicht überein. Wir buchten ein Familienzimmer, war mit drei Kindern im Alter von 9-13 Jahren viel zu eng, da einfach ein Bett zusätzlich in ein Viererzimmer gestellt wurde. Das Essen war der Preis überhaupt nicht wert.
