Hotel Elite

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

Basic hotel but superb location with 6mins walk from train station.

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.

For a basic hotel, very good. No AC (but they never said there was, so that's OK). What I liked is that it was very quiet outside our room, so having the windows open on a hot night wasn't a problem. And in contrast to many hotels, while they had a duvet on the bed, they also provided a very light blanket, so it wasn't an all or nothing covering situation. And they had extra pillows. Towels were threadbare, and (like many European hotels) very difficult to get our bags to the hotel. It's not right on a street. There's parking in the back if you've prearranged-- see website- but even if you haven't, that's the best way to get your bags out. Far more charming town than we had anticipated.

The hotel has one memorable aspect .. centrally Located to town centre .. a 3 star basic overnighter .. trying to market an impression of a degree of elitism ..!!

Very friendly staff and clean rooms with comfortable beds. Good shower and working desk with excellent WIFI connection. Breakfast buffet is very good and starts already at 6.30Hr. It is a 5 minute walk from the train station and bus station for all regional buses.

It was so noisy during night, the rooms can hear slamming the lift door. Breakfast was not worth for what you pay at all. they did not have dental and shaving kit
