Excellent location near the train station. Less than one block from a bus stop. Free Geneva transport card was included and made it easy to use the public transportation system. Grab and go breakfast was six euros which included a croissant and a coffee.

Great service!

We loved staying at Hotel Kipling. What a great place with great service. Our flight had arrived early in the morning and we were tired and arrived at Hotel Kipling without our luggage. They let us in the room early and when luggage finally arrived, even brought it up to the room! Enjoyed a fabulous and delicious breakfast the next morning before our next part of our trip!

Great stay with good service

A great experience, restaurant staff is amazing, and breakfast delicious. Everyone always friendly, and its a well-maintained comfortable hotel! Only side comment: Cleaning service came a bit too early on one day and the cleaning man waited inside my room which was odd. I’d rather have cleaning service come in later and not wait around until you leave.

Didn’t love the area this hotel was in. The breakfast is not worth the money compared to other places. The staff was helpful, but ultimately it seems more of a business hotel than a vacation spot.

Everything was great! The young woman at the desk in the late afternoon early evening was so helpful and nice. Sorry forgot her name. My only slight gripe would be the rooms where very hot and the A/C didnt seem to do the trick in mine or my family's rooms. Made it hard to sleep. So if you like it cool when youre sleeping something to consider.

Great short stay!

Chose a hotel close to the train station as we had a very early train to catch and it was just a short walk away and was pleasantly surprised by the Hotel Kipling. The staff were very friendly and helpful making the check in and out process easy. The room and bathroom was quite large making it perfect for two international travellers to open their suitcases and not have to climb over the top of things/each other. The room and bathroom were also exceptionally clean. We enjoyed the decorations and art work that depicted lots of history.

A very pleasant stay at Kipling hotel in Geneva. An excellent breakfast, a quiet room even though on the 1st floor and a very friendly staff. Could come again I probably will....
