Hotels Near Old Penitentiary Museum in Sion

Great little hotel. Not far off the highway so good for travellers. Rooms are quite small but the meal I had there was fantastic. There were two staff members having some sort of argument in the restaurant but the guy behind the bar moved them out after a bit. Great sized meals. Car park right outsider the door is also a bonus. Overall a great little place to stay.

This is a solid 4 star hotel that is perfect for a few days skiing in the 4-vallées region: Pros: • comfortable and spacious rooms with very nice bathrooms • close to main ski lift so that can be on gondola within 5 mins of leaving hotel • Close to all restaurants etc that Nendaz has to offer • Nice breakfast included • Nice spa (free for hotel guests) Cons: • Swiss prices !!!! • not ski-in/out • hotel doesn’t have much of an atmosphere • boot and ski room accessed via car parking area which is not very pleasant • Spa can get full of non-hotel guests(paying guests) All-in-all this is a great location if you want to ski the 4-vallees area (but don’t fancy Verbier). The hotel is fine although it wouldn’t warrant a premium price over other local options.

The hotel had a very good location and the public bus-stop was just in front of it. The staff were friendly and they helped me a lot by answering my questions about the area and how to go to certain places. The room was as expected and the pictures on *********** are just a perfect example of what you are getting. The prices of this hotel were one of the best prices in Crans-Montana area. The breakfast was included so in general I liked my stay at Alaïa Lodge and I recommend staying there.

We stayed at the W in Verbier for one week. The hotel met all of my expectations. The location is perfect, you are a 2 minute walk to the gondola. Shout out to Nikko in the ski storage area, he was super nice and informative and he saved the day when the main gondola shut down for half a day. Got us a shuttle to different area of mountain to find a lift! I was worried about the room being large enough for 2 people for a week with all of our luggage, but that was not an issue whatsoever... and we were in a basic fabulous room. Plenty of room, fireplace, stand alone tub, balcony... The bar was spacious and Nikki was the most fun and outgoing bartender!! He had great stories and great cocktails! The concierge were amazing, made us reservations for every night we were there and they were right on! The shuttle is also convenient if you don't want to walk, but we still walked most nights. I highly recommend booking a ski guide for at least half a day if you have not skied the mountain. It was very informative and helped tremendously for the remaining few days. You can charge it to your room and they meet you in the ski locker. My only complaint was the house cleaning service, they came later and later as the week went on and one day they were still in our room at 5:30pm... we finally had to ask her to leave so we could get ready for dinner. Overall it was a fantastic trip, highly recommend.

An old fashioned, not specially nice grand hotel from outside but very nicely refurbished and maintained inside. Service is as expected at this level: courteous and efficient. Our room was not extremely large but very comfortable with excellent bedding and a pleasant balcony. The hall and the bar are somewhat impersonal and uninviting and the few flashing lights behind the pianist were certainly unable to help for this. The spa (I'm talking about the sauna area not the swimming pool with kids that we didn't use) looks pretty new and is very well made. However it is quite small and the - very pleasant - relaxation area, takes a good part of it. This leaves not much surface for the rest and on top of that the hotel unfortunately chose to split it in two zones (thus removing precious square meters for a very small and unnecessary textile area). The result is that saunas are mostly extremely small. A real pity given the potential of the place. The spa is conveniently accessible the day of departure which is very good. But why opening half of it 3 hours after the other?? This is disappointing and incomprehensible! Excellent breakfast, free outside parking. Wifi a bit weak in some areas but otherwise ok. And a of course, as we are in Switzerland, a few pettiness that are always surprising when you spend several hundreds franc a night in a 5* resort... like the inside parking more expensive in winter (!) or the second egg in the eggs Benedict for 4.50 extra (!!)... come on...

My husband and I recently spent 2 nights at Hotel Waldhaus during a two week hiking trip around Switzerland and we loved our experience! First, the property is lovely, well-styled, and well maintained. We were in a balcony room with an amazing view of the mountains. Our room was ready early (which was great after our hike from Grindelwald), it was nicely appointed, and very clean. We were on the 2nd floor which had a huge shared balcony with absolutely stunning views. Second, every single staff member we encountered was incredibly nice, kind, welcoming, and genuinely interested in making our stay special. I wish I had written down all their names so I could mention them individually (for some reason I thought I’d remember even though we stayed at 8 different places on this trip). You can tell this is a good work environment because of the staff’s outstandingly pleasant attitude. One person we interacted regularly with was Lorenzo, who took extraordinarily good care of us. Third, the FOOD! Both nights we took the fixed dinner menu and both nights were fantastic. I would consider the meals “special occasion” meals, that’s how good it the food was. The service was attentive and knowledgeable, great wine selection. During the meal Lorenzo and Joshua (a member of the family that owns/runs the restaurant) stopped by to chat with us about our day, our stay, answer any questions, and make sure everything was as expected with our experience. And it wasn’t “forced” attention - - it was comfortable and natural, and they both were genuinely interested in talking with us and ensuring that our entire experience was outstanding! I’m smiling just writing this review because it’s bringing back good memories! Thank you Waldhaus team for a wonderful stay!

We (a couple in our mid 70s) stayed at Patrice's wonderful studio apartment for three nights. Excellent location, and the studio was well-equipped with everything we needed, plus a little balcony. Patrice was very warm and welcoming and so helpful. Thank you !

Amazing newly renovated and in best location in Gstaad! Great room and views! Staff were super friendly - Ivan and all in reception. Very helpful and made us and everything feel good.
