Our stay at Montela Apartments was one of the highlights of our trip to Saas Fee. The apartment itself was spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen that made preparing meals quite easy (as eating out in Switzerland is super expensive!). We appreciated the quiet atmosphere and convenient parking, as well as the easy access to the gondolas of Saas Fee (granting free lift access was outstanding). It's a 10 minute drive or bus trip to Saas Fee from Saas Grund where the hotel is located.
While our stay was largely enjoyable, there were a few drawbacks. The 9 a.m. check-out time felt rushed, and the worn-out couch could benefit from replacement. We were also surprised to find that the promised sheets were not included, and the additional charges for daily towel changes or extended check-out seemed unnecessary. The presence of many children could also be overwhelming at times.
However, the staff's expertise on local hiking trails and their warm hospitality more than made up for these issues. The apartment's cleanliness, luxurious linens, and blazing-fast Wi-Fi were notable highlights. The staff's warmth and the apartment's many virtues make Montela a solid choice for those willing to pay a premium price in this charming Swiss village.
