Amber Ski-in/Out Hotel & Spa

Unfortunatelly my experience with Amber hotel was not a good one. I ve made my reservation same day as my arrival and i must say i congratulated myself that i ve booked only one night,instead of two. Pick up from parking lot was easy(in Saas Fee cars are not allowed, so you have to leave your car in their Parking place:costs, about 14-19swiss francs for one night, if you stay one week, do the math ), and then you are picked up with an electric car. Arrival at the Hotel:Reception was polite,the check-in was fast, and I was given the key to the room 301.Till then, all ok. I enter my room:defenately not the room in The Photos.Dated furniture, strange bathroom inside a wood house,an oldish couch, red(!!!), plastic window sheets,and a table with two chairs... All in photos. I Take out my laptop and i look again at the Photos advertised in internet Maybe i ve booked another hotel by mistake.Internet Photos and reality:not the same story. I let the Photos of the room 301 here,and I end my comment here with the message:First step in any problem is recognizing there is one. Ps:Coffee în The breakfast room was horrible, i ve ended up în making a ness Coffee.Breakfast poor, but service was very kind. They must be very exigent with their personal. Pps:the bathroom was very clean, but you couldn find any product like shower gel or shampoo, not a complementary still water în The room:nothing. Ppps:at check out i was asked by Receptionist if i ve took anything from the minibar. Which minibar. Aaaa.... you mean the fridge in The bar close to Breakfast room, with the web camera pointed at it. No, i didn t. Smile smile smile

Amazing stay in SaaS-Fee Amazing hottub, sauna, common kitchenette, breakfast bar, and patio looking into the river, and the space w/ a bunk bed for kids, and a great sized master for adults.

Due to avalanche risk, the streets up to Saas-Fee closed on Sathurday 12:00. We were supposed to arrive on Monday and our flight was leaving at 6:30 in the morning to Switzerland. The hotel told us, that if we cannot reach Saas-Fee until 19:00 on Monday evening, we could cancel free of charge. On Monday morning, local authorities informed, that there would be another update at 12:00 the same day. Which of course would be to late to travel to Switzerland. Not knowing in the morning if the streets would reopen, it was in fact impossible for us to fly to Switzerland and not have any accomodation or place to go if the streets stay closed. Plus all the costs of flight and rental car for nothing. So we had to cancel our trip and got a refund on the flight and rental car. Shortly after 12:00, the authorities informed that the street would reopen at 20:00, which would actually still be too late to reach Saas-Fee for the agreed 19:00 oclock. Of course the hotel informed us in the late afternoon that the reception would stay opened longer and shortly after 18:00 they informed us that the streets are already open (even tough there was no infos from the authorities about that). But we just couldn't risk to fly to Switzerland when the streets were still closed and no infos yet that they would reopen. No understanding what so ever from the hotel. Even the question for a voucher instead of a reimboursement was denied by the hotel. Absolutely to avoid!

Good ski in ski out option in saas fee Great location with views to the ski area (in panoramic rooms). Tough to tell online, but rooms are different, so be sure you know which one you are booking. Recently partially renovated. Spa is nice. Breakfast was good and breakfast and cleaning staff are excellent. Shared kitchenette space with mini fridge, microwave, and drinks and snacks for purchase. Concierge fell flat with poor guidance and misinformation. (Closest bus stop, ski area opening times, etc). Provided ride to and from parking.

The Amber Hotel is one one of the best hotels we have stayed in. It was my wife's birthday and the staff went out of their way to making it as special as possible for us. The facilities (which are countless) were very relaxing, we enjoyed the jacuzzi, steam and sauna rooms very much. The room was cosy and so very relaxing, not to mention extremely clean. Our toddler enjoyed the breakfast spread, the baked goods were fresh and excellent! Once we parked the car, we rang up the hotel and an electric vehicle came to pick us up post haste, hassle free. We most definitely plan to return again in the near future. Thank you very much, Amber Hotel team!

Amber hotel provided a very satisfying Easter holiday, family room stay in Saas Fee with terrific proximity to the village and main slope. Modern and comfortable the facilities are well described on their website. Thank you to both Claudio and James at Amber who quickly dealt with my questions when booking via *******. Morning in the downstairs mountain-facing breakfast room was a pleasure (hot and cold buffet) and never felt rushed. I found it exceptionally tidy and frequently replenished. Evenings are enhanced by a comfortable lounge area, one in reception and downstairs, again accurately shown on the website. Both very well looked after. The hotel is a 5 min walk (door to door) to one of the the three cable cars (Speilboden) which lifts you up to the main Saas fee ski area. I liked that the warm boot room is separate from the ski hanging area. A very practical choice. The hotel backs onto the main beginner slope reducing the distance to walk if you want. It is accessable from the snow in full season and was still very close to the receding snow in mid April. Only two other hotels can boast this. If you look on the map you'll see a small sports centre building is directly behind the hotel but it does not impede access. The hotel sauna, steam room and spacious hot tub area were a welcome addition, even where a little bit of patience was required if it was being used. The open view towards the mountain does lend towards relaxing.
