Beautiful little hotel, near trains stn
Just two easy-rolling blocks from the train station, on a quiet pedestrian street. Short walk to the lakefront, cafes etc. Hotel is stylish, well-appointed with modern conveniences like an elevator, A/C, kettle, HD TV and free wireless. Good full breakfast and a pot of coffee. Good value for Geneva.

Short Stay in Geneva
Two nights in Geneva, Kipling Manotel. -Before leaving the airport baggage claim area, get a *free* train ticket at a dispenser against the wall. Use the free ticket to take the train from the airport to the Geneva City Center train station. Otherwise I think it's a 5 CHF charge outside at the train station. -The hotel is an easy 3 block walk from the train station. -Check in with the tourist information desk at the airport. The person at the desk was very helpful in providing maps, directions to the train station and info about which train to catch. -At hotel check-in we were provided with a "free" transportation card for any public transport within Geneva. There is a required hotel per person fee which covers this "free" transport card so you get charged this fee whether or not you use the transport card.

Night in Geneva before flight
Wife and I stayed one night after a business trip in Chamonix. Very nice room and great bathroom with big tub. Had early morning flight, so great that it was close to train station (10 minute ride to airport).

Perfect for us
We were there for one night. We arrived early in the morning from an overnight flight and the front desk was able to give us a room in a short period of time. The front desk was very helpful. It was a very good location for picking up a rental car.

Just perfect. Including free internet, but no breakfast included (at least in our package). Many hotels have their restaurants as separate entities. They offer breakfast as any restaurant would and charge well for that. The hotel itself, of course, is not that cheap.

Great 4 start hotel at a great price
You will not find a better hotel unless you spend at least twice the price. The rooms were great. The front desk staff were all very friendly and helpful. We met with a family member who works at the Four Seasons in Geneva. She's also worked at another 4 star hotel in the city and said the rooms at the Kipling Manotel were nicer. She was VERY surprised at how good the rooms were. Her own mother recently visited and paid more for a hotel not nearly as nice. You really won't find a better place to stay unless you spend considerably more.

This is an excellent little hotel
This is an excellent little hotel located in the middle of Geneva walking distance from the train station. The room was lovely and clean with its own little balcony. The staff were superb and the receptionist went out of her way to be helpful to me when I checked in. This hotel comes highly recommended if staying in Geneva for a long weekend.

Friendly staff - great location
Friendly staff - great location near the station yet quiet. Good range of TV channels and room facilities. Shame that the breakfast was not included in the price and was quite expensive.
