Ideal accommodation in Sion
I cannot recommend Patricia's guesthouse highly enough! Newly refurbished rooms, clean and comfortable with fabulous en-suite shower. Many extras that I didn't expect; fridge, kettle, bottled water, toiletries and good WiFi.
In a quiet location, with good security, there is free parking and a pretty garden with table and chairs. Ten minutes walk to the beautiful old town with two castles and a really good friendly atmosphere, it's very much a locals place.
Patricia was charming and helpful, giving us advice on the best way to reach Zermatt by car to take the Matterhorn - Gornergrat mountain railway. Excellent value, especially for Switzerland.

Disappointed
Were disappointed with this B&B. Located in a not very welcoming industrial area, but luckily we spent the night there from Saturday to Sunday so it was quiet. The room has a small window and there was an unpleasant smell coming from the bathroom. It must be admitted that the mattresses were good and the bedding was clean. Too bad breakfast is not offered; however we appreciated the one from the neighborhood tea room.

Number One In My Book
This is a great place in a charming city with lots of activities. You must come visit Sion, and you should stay here.
I had trouble finding information and photos, so I am going to set the record straight and provide photos that hopefully will help.
Here is how to arrive via train. Walk out of the train station, look left. There is a parking lot, and if you go to the street in front of it there is bus stop #4 going towards Uvrier. Get off at Carrefour de Platta. You will be standing in front of the fire station. Look at it, go around the right side of it. At the T you will see a sign pointing to the left, to the guest house. Walk left, keeping on the road, and look for a two story yellow house side-by-side with a three story white house. That’s it. See the photos.
Le Merle Châtelain is in a great location. About 5-10 minutes out of the “old town” by walking, in a quiet area tucked up under the castle. The start of the famous Bisse de Clavau is about 300 meters, just straight up the road past the fire station, past the grocery store. We bought sandwiches and drinks at the grocery for hiking. There is a good Italian restaurant right there as well.
Patricia is a very helpful host, very happy and willing to help.
The room is the Beitschorn, named after the mountain. It faces out towards the winery (buildings, not fields) and past that the vineyards and mountains. She has three rooms, all on the bottom. Two face out, one is in back. I did not see the other two rooms, but they were full every night.
The room was immaculate, clean and well set up. We had a big bed, desk with chair, closet, small dressers on each side of the bed, plenty of lighting. There are two plugs by each bedside table and four in the bathroom for charging. The WiFi is strong and fast, the best we have had in six weeks now. Very greta WiFi. God bless her. Good amenities in the bathroom, good towels, great modern shower with multiple shower heads and a no-leak door. Hair dryer. Refrigerator and coffee/tea maker with cream and real china cups. Wine glasses and maybe bowls/plates upon request. Great patio area out back to take breakfast or lunch. TV in the room with lots of channels.
Some reviews say you can get breakfast, others say no. Here is the story as of July 2016: Due to a law change she cannot provide breakfast. For €10 you can go get a breakfast up at the store/cafe I mentioned above. Or, you can buy food and use the refrigerator and make coffee… you know? Eat out back at the patio… Just saying. The grocery is maybe 200m up the road.
If you drive she has good parking. There is a winery literally next door, and you can go taste and buy. The wine was not so much to our liking, but you know how different people like different things. A WINERY NEXT DOOR!
Very quiet, we slept with the windows open every night and it was silent, and we felt totally secure.
This is a great place. I hope this review and photos help.
She has a simple web site, but it links to a FaceBook page that has some info but is not totally up to date.

Huge working area in front of the hotel
The place is quite good and the price reasonable for what you get. Nevertheless we stayed there one night and it was super noisy in the morning at 7 am because worker where doing a big job just in front our window. I do not think it is honest to rent a room when such activity is performed just in front of the bed and breakfast.

Nice, friendly place to stay outside city centre
This place is located on quite a strange spot. It is right underneath one of the hilltop castles of Sion, on 10 mins walk of the city centre, on a street behind the fire brigade and a small wine bottlery factory. The rooms are comfortable and modern, with a good bed. And very clean. The host is very welcoming and helpful and lives upstairs, but is often away. But you can always phone, app or e-mail her. The place has private parking. Getting there by public transport probably is a bit more difficult.
Le Merle Chatelain does not offer breakfast, but it is possible to have breakfast in a bar 5 mins walk away. Breakfast there is good but basic (more French than opulent like in many other parts of Switzerland).
