Hotel Allalin Saas-Fee

Sometimes you can't put your finger on what you're really looking for from your hotel. However, Hotel Allalin has set a standard that will be difficult for others to match. We stayed for 14 days (booked through Inghams) so have a good experience on which to base this review. Everything from arrival to departure was absolutely perfect. As a car free resort, we were met at the bus station by a member of the team in one of the small electric vehicles which hum around the streets of the town. A couple of minutes later we were checking in. (Walking distance is 5-10mins, slightly uphill.) Whilst not smack bang in the middle of the town, Saas-Fee is small so we found the location to be absolutely fine with a short 5ish min walk to the main area of the shops and attractions. The hotel has a boutique feel and a good size for us... I'd say 50 rooms or so. You rarely bumped into anyone outside of the dining room, never had to wait for the lift or to talk to the team at reception. A very quiet and calming environment. The decor beautifully combines modern and traditional, with original artwork from the hotel family and traditional work carving. Room and public spaces were always spotless. We were incredibly fortunate to have our room upgraded on arrival which was gratefully appreciated. Up on the 4th floor, there was a large living area with bathroom, double bed, chairs, TV and access to the balcony with stunning views of the mountains. Stairs led up to a mezzanine where there was a wardrobe (with safe) and bath with 2x large Velux windows. A door led to a separate bedroom with a double bed, wardrobe and sink. The small details were all ticked off... from the excellent towels to top quality hairdryer! There was no kettle in the room but this was provided on request from reception. Equally there was no mini-bar/fridge - this would have been nice as I'm a sucker for a cold drink (particularly as we benefited from 2 weeks of solid sunshine) but not an issue I was overly bothered about. The room did get warm and as is normal in the Alps, there was no AC... evenings/nights were cool so leaving the windows/balcony open helped - Saas-Fee doesn't seem to have an insect problem so again no worries with this. The food was delicious. Breakfast was plentiful with a typical selection of cereals, fruits and pastries. A selection of fresh loaves were available, so fresh they were still warm. Hot selection was limited to scrambled eggs and bacon. Evening meals were probably the best we've experienced in the Alps... with a starter, choice of 2 soups (typically cream and a broth), salad bar, choice or 2 mains (meat and vegetarian) and a desert. Portion sizes were judged perfectly. On one evening each week we even got to experience a genuine Swiss fondue... a broth fondue in the hotel and a cheese fondue in a neighbouring restaurant. All the team at the hotel were exceptional; those on reception, in the restaurant and housekeeping. You got a re

Is a 4 star hotel but service is good and all the staff are very helpful. Requested for an electric kettle and 2 cups and spoons in the room and they were promptly bought up. Room is spacious and have a working table. Shower is easy to operate but is bathtub which is very slippery. Rooms provide bathrobe and slippers. The sauna is on demand, call when you're ready to head down. Sauna area was surprisingly new, very clean and looks great! We especially love their breakfast as the pastries were hot, crispy and so yummy! Dinner starts at 6:30pm - thank you! Finally after being in Italy for a while, everyone starts so late is making things not easy for hiking.

We have stayed at Hotel Allalin twice and are about to go back for a third time! We can't wait! Hotel Allalin is a very welcoming hotel with caring, attentive staff. The rooms are very comfortable and have amazing views. The restaurant is beautiful and the homemade meals are healthy and delicious. I really can't fault this hotel, it is simply wonderful!

Visited 22 to 29 March 2025. A truly fantastic family run hotel in an amazing resort. Room was spotless and all staff brilliant. We were half board breakfast was superb and the five course evening meal was exceptional. Would not hesitate to return!

This is a fantastic hotel. The room was super comfortable, very quiet at night, everyone in the hotel is super friendly, the restaurant is spectacular, and the location is great. Highly recommended. We defenitely plan on returning in the near future.

Good position. Very comfortable room. It is the third time we book a room in this hotel (2025, 2022, 2018) and all the "plus" are confirmed. This time we had selected a room+breakfast service. In case we will return to Saas Fee, very likely we will choose this hotel again. Thanks.
