Hôtel des Vignes

I have stayed at the hotel on several occasions. It is conveniently located in the Rhine valley for a number of skiing resorts. The hotel is beautifully appointed inside and out and in my view offers very good value for a high class establishment. It also offers an excellent restaurant for dinner and breakfast. The staff are very pleasant and there are good car parking facilities.

I would not make any major criticisms. Arguably the lack of a formal bar is a drawback but service is very efficient in the spacious and attractive lounge area.

We stayed here the second time, and really like the hotel. Good location, with easy access to hiking trails in the surrounding valleys. Comfortable room with free soft drinks. Most of the staff speaks English. Air conditioner in the room helped us to survive the tropical nights of the heat wave. Restaurant is not exciting, but OK. It stops at 21.00, but there is a possibility to get cold snacks and drinks until 23.00, which helped as a lot.

Air conditioner is kind of too powerful even at the lowest fan speed and too close to bed, which caused us some inconvenience. Breakfast is not good for the level of the hotel. Practically no cold cuts - a disgrace and well below any comparable or lower level hotels in the region. Otherwise breakfast is OK (selection of pastries, etc.)

Room was very comfortable with good quality facilities. Bathroom was clean and had choice between bath and Douche - so we could book one room with douche and one room with bath. Dinner was superb and post dinner Grappa was fabulous. Local wine was delicious at affordable prices. The service at the restaurant for dinner was outstanding. Also all the staff were very kind and overall the service was excellent

Breakfast was not so good and was hurried up - apparently there was a large lunch meeting - we had to finish our coffee outside the breakfast area even though we were well within the stipulated breakfast timing

We felt very welcome from check-in and right through our stay. The room was spacious and well-equipped, although the WC was small. We dined at the hotel's restaurant and were delighted with our choices. I especially liked the grilled fruit with my veal curry dish, and the fromage plate was pleasantly full with local and other selections. I would recommend discovering, as we did, some of the neighbouring wines.

If one thing disappointed, it would have to be the breakfast, which seemed sparse with no 'hot' options. Also, the single slice of ham on each wrapped plate seemed frugal and not in keeping with the generous surroundings of the hotel.

What was to be an overnight "strategic stop" during travels through the Swiss Alps turned into a lovely surprise. One can well understand where wine lovers exploring the local wineries or just the walking tracks could find this hotel a very good choice. Very quiet, well appointed location, still with a 'family run vibe'. The terraced room was impeccable, with gorgeous views to the wine yards, the property garden and the white topped mountains in the distance. Large bathroom, good amenities. Breakfast was quite good, excellently prepared coffee at request . We also had dinner at the property - again a bonus for tired drivers - good quality food (priced accordingly). Services and information provided by excellent staff, throughout. Relatively secured parking was available at the property.

Not of major relevance, the property is unattended overnight - main entrance allowed using room key but support is at a phone call away. Also, more as a reminder, the property is located out of Sion, so no other meal options are available nearby.

The hotel is located between Sierre and Sion, in Uvrier, 10 minutes walk to the railway station. This makes it an excellent place for the abundant hiking possibilities in the area. Our room was spacious, and very quiet; no noise from the street during the night and no noise from the hotel guests. Air conditioning helped a lot during this year's heat wave, but we were also able to sleep with the balcony door open. Bath tube, free refreshments in the minibar were very helpful as well. Excellent Wi-Fi. Convenient parking lot. The restaurant was not particularly exciting, but service and food quality were very good. It works without an afternoon break, usual in the area, and this made our schedule more flexible. Overall, we had a rare feeling that we understand what we paying for, staying in a more expensive hotel. Will not hesitate to come back.

While the staff of the hotel mostly spoke good to perfect English, the young lady at reception was not able to speak German and had only basic English, as well as a limited knowledge about the hotel. Her colleagues were able to resolve some issues caused by this, but the whole situation is quite strange for the level of the hotel. Breakfast is overall OK, with an excellent choice of pastries and fruits. However a cold cuts selection (2 sorts of meat, 1 sort of cheese) is really a disgrace. Even "no-star" village facilities in Switzerland offer better choice. Especially strange to see this in the area, where cold cuts plate is considered a regional dish.

Probably the best Hotel in the region. I have never seen such big rooms in any other hotel in Switzerland. Everything is big, spacious and very well kept: the rooms, the bathrooms, the public areas, the staircases, the corridors, the Garden, the Parking area! At nighttime you can see from the balcony of the room the lights of Nendaz and other villages in the mountains. You can also catch a glimpse of the illuminated castles of Sion, if the trees are not blocking the view. The beds are very good and the bathrooms spacious and excellent. There is good HVAC in the rooms. The public sitting area is very spacious and well furnished. The garden and the terrace are excellent in good weather. The double-glazed windows block the noise from the nearby motorway. The Hotel is just a few minutes from the center of Sion by car or train (the train takes only 4 minutes!). You can be in Crans Montana and other resorts in very little time by car. The Hotel even makes available bicycles at no cost.

Check in was very quick and smooth and we were in our rooms within 5 minutes of arriving. The Food was excellent with a lovely menu. The staff were helpful and attentive throughout. The rooms were excellent and well appointed with amazing views of the valley (although we did have superior rooms).

Its a small thing but there was no bar area only extended lobby seating although it was very comfortable and the hotel staff would serve you from there. The breakfast was lovely but as it is a quality hotel there seemingly no choice of hot food.

The room was amazing. very comfortable, spacious and full of amenities. Also loved the air conditioning!

Nothing! The view of the vineyards was unparalleled. The hotel property is so green and spacious. Loved the garden too!

Beautiful location. Surrounded by vineyards, calm and relaxing. Very warm and friendly staff. Definitely we want to come back again!

None.
