This was such a lovely hostel, particularly if you are travelling with children. We found Switzerland amazingly baby-friendly, and this hostel was no exception. There were loads of families with young children when we stayed, having masses of fun in the playroom. If you don't have children, it's still a great spot. Friendly, comfortable living area with an honesty bar; great spread at breakfast. Saanen is a beautiful town and the rail/bus connections are very convenient.
Cot was broken and uncomfortable- but we didn't complain so it's possible there might have been a replacement

Relaxed feel, super clean, high quality minimalist accommodation. Perfect for travelling with my children (ages 8 and 13) who loved the freedom to play - especially table tennis and pétanque.
I do not have a “didn’t like” just an observation and it was not a problem but the rolling guest demographic during our stay seemed to be predominantly older generation (retired age) and the children had hoped for other children to play and interact with.

The room is clean and comfortable. Window view is so nice and the temperature is all right. Breakfast is good. There's a beautiful church and it holds Gstaad Menuhin Festival there. No cars here and good for walking. The staff try their best to help me when I arrive lately.
Someone plays table tennis and close to my room. A little noisy but fine. There are some mosquitoes. It's a small town and a little inconvenient, however, it's really a charming town and I want to visit again.

Well designed modern building that kept cool even in a heatwave. Plenty of floor and storage space in our twin room with private bathroom. Spacious reception and dining areas. Coffee machine and cold drinks. Excellent as a Youth Hostel, but not up to a hotel standard as regards bedding/bathroom. I liked the evening meal - provided at a very inexpensive price (though my husband wasnt so impressed). Breakfast buffet was plentiful but not luxurious. Bike storage was a lower level, where skis were stored in winter. Staff were wonderful, and spoke excellent English. We left a garment behind and they posted it on to us.
Our room was totally overlooked by the next house and was without net curtains for modesty!

Everything was just very clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and offered to get up early to make sure I had something to eat in the morning before I left (I left earlier than when breakfast was supposed to start). Very satisfied with my short visit and the location.
Don't have any complaints

The hostel was just what we needed. It was friendly, the staff were very helpful. The dinner and breakfast were very good and we were able to get breakfast at 7 am to allow us the early start we needed on a long walking day. The room was clean, comfortable and with an en-suite.
Nothing of any matter.
