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!
