Great price, location a bit seedy.

Very well priced stay for Geneva. Lots of extras from Expedia thrown in: Free parking, travel pass etc, so made it a bargain. Lovely staff very helpful with reservations and advice. Underground parking available. The area the hotel is situated however, is a somewhat seedy. We felt perfectly safe, even coming back after midnight on a Saturday, however we did have to walk through the red light district, with multiple girls on the street and and very "ethnic" community. If ever visiting Geneva again, i would probably still stay here, just as its price is good and its all you need.

Everything was great! The young woman at the desk in the late afternoon early evening was so helpful and nice. Sorry forgot her name. My only slight gripe would be the rooms where very hot and the A/C didnt seem to do the trick in mine or my family's rooms. Made it hard to sleep. So if you like it cool when youre sleeping something to consider.

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.
