Easy check in, easy check out, friendly, room was ok for my one night stay, air conditioned, good wifi, everything functional
I wish there was an electric kettle in the room, the room was rather small (but very functional for 1 person)

I was planning to leave a good review, because when we first arrived — and we arrived earlier than the official check-in time (around 7 AM) — we found the door locked, even though I specifically chose this place because it offered 24-hour check-in. I was hoping we could at least leave our luggage even if the room wasn’t ready yet. Fortunately, a lovely and very caring woman who works in the breakfast area opened the door for us, let us leave our things, and even allowed us to sit inside while we waited for someone from the front desk. I want to say she truly took care of us, even though we couldn’t communicate properly due to the language barrier. Later, a receptionist arrived, and although there were no available rooms at that moment, she still allowed us to check in earlier than the official time, and our room was cleaned first so we could settle in. The next day, a different staff was on duty, and we asked if we could leave our luggage again, as our train was in the evening. We prepared a small token of appreciation — some gifts for the two lovely women who had taken care of us — and came back to pick up our things. But by then, there was a man with long hair sitting at reception. While waiting for a taxi, I decided to change clothes and went to the restroom(apparently one for staff only, as my situation later made clear), which the female staff had shown me the previous day while we waited for our room (!!!). I assume this is because the hotel is small and doesn't offer a public restroom outside of the rooms — and we no longer had access to our room at that point. Otherwise, I have no idea why I would have been shown that bathroom. Naturally, I went to that same bathroom to quickly change before our train, while my mother waited at the breakfast area table, since there are no waiting sofas or lounge area. While I was inside the restroom, this man suddenly started banging on the door with incredible aggression.
Of course, I didn’t open it to him while I was half-naked. When I finished and came out, I saw a shocking scene: my 60-year-old mother standing on the street with all our luggage, and this man screaming at me — a young girl — in a way that completely shocked and confused me. I couldn’t even understand what he was yelling about. He had literally thrown my mother out with his own hands and then did the same to me, locking the door behind us. He locked himself inside the hotel, so much so that some guests were stuck outside with us and couldn’t get back in

Banged my head on the sloped roof beam :-( We were on the 4th floor and the elevator only went to the 3rd floor. Not a deal breaker though.

Location was exceptional. Also enjoyed having breakfast buffet on site.
Rooms were a bit small to lay out our bags but otherwise fine.

I had booked 2 rooms and my travelling companion could not come. There was no refund despite plenty of notice (bad). However the hotel did book one night for the second room and in a display of honesty and integrity they will refund me that night.

Extreme noise levels all night due to people partying outside. The photos give the illusion of a big room. I felt cheated.

Great location, small, but comfortable, friendly staff and great breakfast. The two free beers at the Sion Brewer were a nice bonus !

Good room which was clean and tidy. Good value for money
Was noisy at night due to bar downstairs. Also I checked my bags in and staff member wouldn’t let me get changed out of travel clothes. Bizarre so spent 6 hours walking around in travel sweats

This is a good, budget hotel for a short stay. The room we stayed in was tiny but given the location, it's definitely value for money!
The room we stayed in was small, which made it a little awkward to move about (for 2 adults). However, given we only stayed the 1 night, it was manageable. Also noting the location and value for money, it's still a great grab for a short stay. This is more as an FYI to help others be prepared. The bistro/restaurant adjoined to the hotel (Brauhaus Sion) really needs to improve its customer service, particularly given its attached to the hotel. The staff could benefit from some training on being a little friendly and welcoming .

Room was mostly clean, just a stain on the sheet in one spot. Bathroom was great. Loved the shower. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Grateful there was an elevator for bags. Attached to one of the Kolsch breweries which is cool.
Didn't quite match the pictures in terms of how nice they look in the pictures. This really comes down to there not being a throw blanket or throw pillows on the bed as there are in the pictures. The sleeping pillows were the worst part of the room, they were completely flat and very uncomfortable.
