Hôtel du Rhône

Made a reservation for 2 rooms at this hotel at 2:34pm in the afternoon and then learned that a major snow storm would prevent us from continuing to our final destination. So we cancelled the reservation at 3:12pm (38 minutes later) and were charged the full cost of both rooms. I understand a no-cancellation policy. But honestly, did a 38-minute reservation really cost them anything? I would never stay at this hotel or recommend it to anyone.

We stayed at the Hotel du Rhone for several nights, in the triple room which was a very decent sized room and a welcome change from most of our recent hotel rooms. This is a more traditional hotel room with a large attached bathroom, complete with bathtub (+Shower) and a bidet alongside the toilet. We had a room with a good view out to the Rhone valley, and the Chateau de Valere up on the hill - which was lit up at night. There wasn't any air conditioning but for some reason the hotel room remained relatively cool, although we had to open the window to let the cooler air in - at night, this meant that we could hear noise from the street, and in the early morning, the road construction crew sometimes woke us up with their machinery. Obviously this is only a temporary issue but visitors should bear this in mind in the hotter summer months. The beds were comfortable and everything was provided for, there is also a restaurant attached to this hotel although we did not try it. An easy and excellent breakfast can be had only a short stroll away at one of many cafes in Sion's old town. Very well located, right at the edge of the old town, and only about a 15 min walk to the train station. WiFi was decent, and there was also a sizeable safe provided for valuables and laptops. They also provided a kettle and some tea making equipment (as well as a variety of teabags). Definitely ticked most of our boxes!

We reserved a triple room to have some space and weren’t disappointed. A couple of issues were resolved quickly. Importantly the beds were comfortable and breakfast plentiful. Possibly the best cappuccino in Sion!. If you have a big car, we found the entrance to the underground car park daunting. However there is a much bigger car park literally the either side of the road. Really well placed for visiting Sion, and has one of the few restaurants open on a Sunday evening. We’ll stay again when we return

A first rate place. Friendly staff on reception who obligingly jumped to perfect English. Fresh and spotless rooms with a mountains view. The breakfast is outstanding with breads and pastries, sliced meats and cheeses, boiled eggs, fruits, great coffee. It's about 10 mins walk from the station. There is a nearby cafe on the corner that I thought looked a bit fast foody at first, but we ate a delicious omelette and salad there.

Hotel at the edge of the city centre close to the Sion castle. Friendly staff and very good breakfast. Rooms are well equipped and have perfect and fast WIFI. City centre is in walking distance and bus stops are nearby.
