Hôtel Elite

It was all great and much convenient-great location and great room with great service!

A night in the oven Room was so hot that it was difficult to sleep. Room has no aircondition, but two fans. Though the room was hard to vent, and it was imposssible to lower the temperature..

We stayed her for a total of 4 nights during a trekking holiday and thought it was very good for the following readons: - Friendly helpful staff - Great central location a short walk from the station and bus station - Great breakfast - Comfortable rooms - A good bar with draught beer - Ability to leave luggage

We stayed here only one night as the main hotel we wanted to stay at was fully booked on the first day we arrived in Sion. It was conveniently close to the train station (about a 10 min walk) and well located for cafes and restaurants in the old town, which were only a short walk away. The reception is really only a tiny desk in a corner of a restaurant - not very impressive! And there is a very small and old fashioned lift that takes you up to the rooms, just enough to squeeze in 2 people with luggage. Our room was very small and compact, which we didn't mind for a single night's stay. However there was no air conditioning, and in 30+ C heat, the room felt like an oven. They provided a cooler/humidifier in the room which we were compelled to use, but the noise from the machine kept us awake at night. Opening the windows was a no-no because of the noise from the street which went on until quite late (there is a bar/restaurant right below). The bathroom is also only just a glass cubicle in a corner of the room - very cramped, although the shower was decent. The beds were also soft, and generally the room felt stuffy and cramped. OK for a single night, but definitely not for much longer. We did not have breakfast at the hotel as there were cheaper and good options just a few minutes away. When we checked out, they gave us a small bottle of wine, which was a nice touch. It could be OK for a night or two, but definitely NOT in the summer when it's too hot in the room to sleep. They also insisted on us giving our phone number to have the WiFi password texted to us - not a good idea to give out phone numbers like this for obvious reasons, so we did not use the WiFi here at all. On the overall, not a wonderful experience, sad to say.
