This was an absolute find. In a beautiful location a short bus or train ride from Gstaad. The dorm was fine - clean but with the most glorious view. Great buffet breakfast included and the 16CHF dinner is a bargain.. and tasty.

Super friendly and helpful reception staff. Room was clean and spacious. Breakfast was great!
Were able to get our laundry done (washed, dried & folded) overnight for a very reasonable fee - an unexpected plus!

Very close to the train station at Saanen but the village is very small. Not a lot of things to do in winter. Gstaad and other nearby areas are not too far though.

It has an excellent staff.
I got confused because I didn´t know the type of hotel that it was. When I did my reservation I didn´t realize the bathroom was shared, however I asked the Lady at front desk a change and kindly she made happen. Its for sport people, not for family.
