The hotel is in a good location, very close to the train station, not far from he main shops, the old town and all the key sites. Fairly small hotel with 10-13 rooms on 5 floors. Room was a reasonable size, had everything you could need and were very warm. Breakfast room is small so can get congested at popular times. Breakfast itself was okay.

Excellent value and comfort

The Kipling staff scored top marks from the off by asking us which language we would like to speak to them in (the first time I recall this happening to me at a hotel check-in). They were uniformly helpful throughout the stay. The rooms are well-appointed and feel luxurious, while the breakfast buffet is generous and has some nice touches such as the mango lassi (in keeping with the colonial theme). Overall, this hotel represents excellent value for money and we would not hesitate to stay there again.

Hotellin yleiset tilat siistit ja viihtyisät. Standard huone tavanomaisen kokoinen ja tyylinen. Mukava iso sänky, hyvät liinavaatteet ja pyyhkeet. Hygieniatuotteita vain suihkugeeli, palasaippua ja shampoo. Kokolattiamaton ja verhojen kunto ei vastannut huoneen korkeaa hintaa. Hyvä maukas riittävän monipuolinen aamiainen. Sijainti vain muutaman korttelin päässä asemalta, josta hyvät yhteydet eri kulkuvälineillä, tosin jokasortin viheltäjää ympäristössä. Hyvä sijainti parin korttelin päässä asemalta

Bel accueil. Personnel très agreable et serviable. Très bien placé; à 10 min.à pieds de la gare et du bord du lac. Petit déjeûner complet. Hôtel et chambre propre. Je recommande. Petit point à réparer : la barre de douche descendait et ne tenait pas en place.

Die Bahnhofsnähe ist sehr pisitiv an zusehen. Nur gegenüber sieht es nicht zu schön aus. Es ensteht einen unsicheren Eindruck der Lage.

Sehr geehrter Kunde, vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung bei Ebookers. Ich bin froh, dass Sie einen guten Aufenthalt hatten und unsere Vermietung in der Nähe des Bahnhofs genossen haben. Leider gibt es einige "alte" Gebäude in unserem Viertel Pâquis, aber sie fangen an zu arbeiten, vielleicht sogar eines Tages vor unserem Hotel. Wir freuen uns, Sie bald wieder in Kipling begrüßen zu dürfen.

Hübsches Hotel in Stadtnähe

Pros: Es ist dezent, schön, ein tolles Frühstücksbuffet und sehr nettes Personal.
Location: Das Hotel befindet sich in der Nähe des Bahnhofes sowie der Promenade am See. Viele nette Bars und Restaurants hat es zur Promenadenseite.
Bei unserer Ankunft wurden wir wie Gäste behandelt. Es gibt viele Hotels da ist man/frau nur Mr. and Mrs. Passport and Credit Card. Wir würden sehr freundlich und freundschaftlich behandelt. Für den öffentlichen Transport bekamen wir für die beiden Tage ein Ticket, so dass wir gratis OeV fahren konnten.
