14 hotel reviews for Hotel Kipling
The hotel itself is in colonial style equipped, lots of dark wood and bright MTI, warm fabrics. Very attractive. The room room was very small, but that was okay, it was just a little too warm. The location was for me as a single people on business trip not recommended, as it is located in the red light district which is. A brothel and Gogobar after the other. Read more

This is no obstacle, however, to book this hotel-it is really nice. Read more

The hotel is located in the centre approximately five-ten minute walk from the train station in a small quiet side street. The tram stops on the main road nearby. This small hotel is very tastefully equipped and in very good condition. There is free Internet access in the rooms.

The hotel is very beautifully decorated in a colonial style. The hotel is not very large, which makes the atmosphere more intimate and friendly.
The rooms are very comfortable and nicely decorated.
The staff at the hotel is very friendly.
The hotel doesn't have a restaurant, but we had dinner in one of the other restaurants of the same hotel chain nearby.
Very conveniently located, close to the station and the lake
It is nice to have free wifi for your mobile phone and a free public transport card. Read more

The competence of the receptionist was very accommodating and pleasant excellent flexibility. Therefor, the friendliness of the service staff (breakfast) to be desired. Due to its central location and all public transport is very easy to reach and the free day ticket for the guests for almost all a good and useful Suplement public transport.
The price/performance ratio, so high price and Swiss performance ratio I didn't think was appropriate. Read more
