Hotel Bristol

Short walk from nearest (beginner) slope and 5-10 mins from main lift. Simple clean hotel. Fixed menu meals in the evening for moderate price and quality. Very nice and friendly staff. Opposite a outdoor bar that plays really loud music until approx 10pm. Use of the electric car is fairly tight, but it is very close to slopes in any event. WiFi worked but was on open system for first few days. Skiroom easy to use and allows dry warmed boots in the morning (easier to get on). Lots of rental shops and ski-shops in vicinity. I really mean *lots*. Saas Fee is a very small very friendly resort but which attracts beginners and also seriously good skiers at this time of year. 2016, Pre-Christmas, as I left there were several centimetres of new snow on an firm-to-icy base; and blue skies. Perfect conditions. The local shops range from Migros and Coop to high-level boutiques and tourist shops of all sorts. In general, inexpensive by standards of Alps let alone Swiss Alps. Saas Fee is car-free, and uses electric milk-float-based vehicles internally. I would have classed it as family-friendly.

Very friendly, family-run hotel in the heart of Saas Fee. Room nice and comfortable, good breakfast included. Location is good for the drag lift to the Felskinn cable car. Right across the road from the Black Bull apres ski bar, which is ideal if you like gluhwein and music after a day on the slopes, but might be a bit loud in the early evening if you don't, and have a room in the front of the hotel.
