We booked this hotel after reading the reviews on this website - it truly deserves to be a "Number 2" in the list of best Geneva hotels. Hotel's staff was VERY friendly and helpful, they gave loads of nice tips on how to spend a great weekend in the city. Location of the hotel is excellent, so close to the... more

We stayed at the Kipling Hotel in Geneva on the 13th September and were very impressed from the outset, Reception staff were not only thoroughly professional, but very friendly and couldn't do enough for us. English spoken was a big plus as our French is limited and when we were given free travel tickets for all public transport within the... more

I stayed with my wife in the Hotel Kipling during the last week of August. What we wanted is a comfortable and clean Hotel. We were certainly not disappointed. The room was maintained at the highest degree of cleanliness throughout our stay, the furniture were new and the bed exceedingly comfortable. All the staff were multilingual and very helpful.

This was a nice hotel, well maintained and presented. A central location and easy base to walk down to the lake. The staff were very helpful. more

The hotel is classified as 3 star but it is definitely of 4 star quality: Its furnishing, fittings, facilities etc are really excellent. It... more

What I liked: The hotel is within walking distance from the train station, which makes it a convenient, yet seedy, location, as others have mentioned. The interior decor is nice. The bathroom has a lovely deep, clean bathtub. Upon check-in you are given a mobility ticket....as in other Swiss hotels...which allows you to use public transport including a 2nd class... more

I chose the Kipling after looking for tripadvisor's members reviews. It was my 5th stay in Geneva within 2 years, and all previous ones were in much more expensive hotels. Kipling is not 5 starred, but it means value, indeed. From the friendly front desk attendants to details like free wireless internet, free lengh-of-stay city transportation tickets, you will find... more

This hotel is a five minute walk to the lake, making it very convenient. It is tastefully decorated in British colonial style. The room was clean and cosy, and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast buffet was surprisingly very good, for such a small hotel. We booked this hotel based purely on the trip advisor reviews, and we weren't... more
