Kipling Manotel

The price was great, along with the location and the Junior Suite exceeded my expectations. The hotel is located two blocks away from Lake Geneva and just one block away from a major street with a lot of food and shopping. I was able to walk everywhere during my stay and the staff were always friendly and helpful. The room was very nice,clean large and all around well done. My room also came with a wrap around walk out terrace. While there are no views here the beautiful room and location along with the cleaniness made up for that.

The front desk staff could not have been more friendly! They gave me good tips for the area. When I read reviews I was a little worried about the area the hotel was in as some described it as sketchy and I am a women and was traveling with my teenaged daughter. I really liked the neighborhood though and felt perfectly safe! The neighborhood actually turned out to be one of the best parts of the stay. I liked that it felt more local and was very diverse - it was like staying in Park Slope vs Manhattan but on a smaller scale as everything was easier to get to. There was a cute tea house close by (La Vouivre) with nice outdoor seating. We had a great Indian lunch at the nearby Curry Club by Chef Urvi. Right next door to the hotel was a cute organic market. We were also close to the water taxi which was a fun way to go downtown for the Choco Pass stops, and buses to the UN, and the train to the airport was very convenient too! It was only a 15 min ride to the airport a nd free with the hotel transit pass. Geneva was in a heat wave, so the air conditioning of the hotel was welcome. We also loved the Kipling decor of the hotel which made it unique and cozy. The room also had a deep bath tub which was nice for soaking in after a day of sightseeing! I also liked the flavored water in the lobby and comfy couches. We would definitely stay there next time we're in Geneva!

- Nice room, and somehow I lucked out and got one with a balcony. - Location is convenient to the train station and regional buses - Location is also convenient to the waterfront. - Staff were friendly and helpful. - I ate dinner at a great Mexican place near the hotel.

We enjoyed our 2 night stay very much. The location was very good for us. It's a short, easy walk from the train station. It's not in the historic centre of Geneva, but it's not far to walk and there are plenty of good restaurants within a few blocks of the hotel. Our room was clean, comfortable and quiet. We really liked the decor and layout of the room. Breakfast was excellent and all the people working at the hotel were friendly and helpful. It rained while we were there and the hotel even supplied loaner umbrellas. We would have been happy to stay longer than 2 nights and would definitely stay here again if we return to Geneva.

My parents loved their stay at Kipling. Location is excellent (near the train station and easy access to the airport - the hotel provides a free transit pass !) Hotel was clean and room had everything needed. They were able to check in right away which was very appreciated. The young lady who welcomed them/checked them was very nice but the other female staff who worked later that evening was so cold!! Didn't even bother greeting them!
