I did not find anything negative

My trip was split between two countries, and I had 2 separate reservations with Kipling. The first reservation was in a room on the 4th floor with 2 beds in front of the elevator for 4 nights, and it was minimal noise. The second reservation was on the 3rd floor in a superior room at the end of the hall with a kitchenette and king sized bed. Both rooms were clean and as depicted in their stock photos. I would reserve a room with a kitchenette again as it was convenient. It is furnished with a hybrid microwave with a grill setting, toaster, coffee maker, and refrigerator. I was worried about the negative reviews found on multiple sites, but personally, I had a great time at this hotel and their staff were friendly to me during both stays. Hotel is conveniently located with Cornavin station just 10 minutes walking distance, and 15-20 minutes walking distance to Lake Geneva. Plenty of decently priced restaurants near by.

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!

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.

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.

The hotel was great... Comfortable beds, nice decorations, quiet room, great breakfast, friendly staff and close to old town and transportation... The only thing was that the shower did not have a big enough curtain or door so it was difficult to take a shower without splashing water everywhere, but besides that I loved the hotel and highly recommended!!!
