    “We'd stay there again and recommend to friends”

    Geneva is a weird place to try and get a room. Either you're on the left bank close to train station or you're across the bay on the right bank with all the tourists. We didn't have a car and trained in from airport. The Kipling was a good location for us as we just walked 3 blocks towing our light suitcases. It's on a relatively quiet street although Fri/Sat nights were a bit noisey with bars and clubs, but they seem to be everywhere. The hotel was clean, easy to get to the lake front and travel for free on quaint ferry boats to the town center. Many restaurants in the area, most over priced and lacking in quality but Geneva is expensive compared to say Paris or London. Geneva is perfect for two nights max then get outta there!

    Area recommendations
    We were in a reasonably safe quiet neighborhood. Didn't stay in center as usual but transit by public ferry or bus was simple and free. Most restaurants in area were over priced with ethnic food . We found an actual Swiss bar/cafe with good quality food for reasonable price (for Geneva) Cafe Voudois near the Kipling. Locals ate there with no finery but fun to watch them in action.

    “Nice hotel for the price, second time there, close to train station, neighborhood a little scary.”

    Title says it all. Free Wifi worked well. Walking from the train station, I caught some punk attemting to lift my knapsack from my pull-luggage....be carefull around the trainstation....watch your back.

    Geneva is a boring city...one day is enough.

    “Excellent hotel at an excellent location”

    Enough said. Good value too, considering Ibis costs the same, is tragically located and, well, it's an Ibis.

    “Great hotel, but it is in the red light district”

    For the price, this hotel is wonderful. The staff is great, and the rooms are a bit small, but clean and comfortable. I like the proximity to the train station and all public transportation, too. The only downside is that the hotel is near the red light district. It's Geneva, so that doesn't mean much, but there can be some shady characters on the street at night. I still think the hotel is worth it, but some people may choose to avoid the hotel for this reason. The red light district is really more like the part of town with a few sex shops and lots of cheaper ethnic eateries. A local described it more as the "ethnic" district. It's not very large, and within a few blocks you are in the more respectable part of town.

    Area recommendations
    Stay near the train station, that way you have all the public transport at your door, which you will need since taxis are so expensive.

    “Excellent value hotel in a very handy location”

    I was very happy with my stay here. The room was clean and well furnished, with a decent LCD TV. It looked to me the hotel had been modernised fairly recently. This hotel is is a very handy location, a short walk away from the train station and in the Paquis area, jam packed with relatively (for Geneva) reasonably priced eateries. Having read of doubts regarding this area from other reviews, I found the area safe, though I didn't venture out particularly late, and I didn't see much of a red light district in evidence. I would say the usual big city rules apply, i.e. be watchful and don't do silly things like leave valuable lying around. Free WiFi in the hotel is provided, which was very reliable, and thus extremely useful. The desk service was very friendly & helpful. You are given a Geneva card upon arrival, which is useful for discounts. I used it to discount a boat trip around the lake, so make sure you get the card. All in all I would highly recommend staying at the hotel, the good reviews here are well deserved from my experience. I would definately stay here again upon visiting Geneva.

    Area recommendations
    The hotel is in a superb area to dine out, and also well located to get to the Botanical Gardens, which are well worth a visit. The Old Town, on the other side of the bridge, is about a 15 minute walk away and is a nice place to stroll around.
    Dining
    The Paquis area that the hotel is located in has an unbelievable choice of restaurants, anything from Ethiopian to Italian through to Iranian is on offer! This is a very ethnically diverse area which is ideal for budget dining out (in the case of Geneva, anything below £25 per head for a 1 course meal plus drinks is doing well and you can manage this in Paquis). Take a stroll around the streets close to the hotel and you will be amazed by number & variety of restaurants on offer. Also, on the main road towards the train station (Rue de Lausanne) is a huge Migros supermarket located underground in a shopping mall which is easily missed, so be sure to stock up with essentials & picnic items from there for an affordable price.

    “Geneve Kipling Hotel”

    Easy walking to and from the train station and lake. Desk staff were friendly and helpful. Nice hotel but a lot of street noise at night. We use moldable ear plugs (highly recommended) so it was not a problem for us.

    Area recommendations
    Very nice lake waterfront and downtown.
    Must see
    Take the train to Montreux, Brig, and the Golden Pass train (Montreux to Interlaken and back) to see the Switerzerland of travel books.

    “Goodl Location, great hotel”

    I bit expensive, but the hotel has great customer service and very good location....close to downtown and train station. Free WIFI, complimentary passes for tram and buses during stay. Very nice decore. Parking was around 40 CHF, which isn't bad considering location, compared to other hotels in area. I did not havethe paid breakfast. This was my second time staying in this hotel.

    “great lil boutique hotel convenient to the airport”

    I was really pleased with this hotel. Internet was free, the room was decent. They even loaned me a universal adapter for free. It's a 3 min walk to the train station which is a 8 min ride to the airport, so great location if you're just passing thru. That being said, all the shopping, restaurants and life of Geneva is on the other side of the lake. So you have to walk. It's not far, but your not in the center of it. We were just staying one night as a layover between our travels, so the convenience of the train/airport was wonderful.
