The 3-star superior property features rooms decorated in saffron and spice colors, ranging from 49.2 ft^2 Classic rooms to 114.8 ft^2 Deluxe studios. All accommodations include flat-screen TVs, air conditioning, and fully-equipped bathrooms, while select units offer kitchenettes and balconies with city views. Though the Manotel doesn't have an on-site restaurant, guests can dine at the Royal Hotel's Bistro and Michelin-starred L'Aparté, both 164.0 ft away. The business center provides two internet terminals with printers, and a meeting room accommodates up to 8 people. A buffet breakfast is served from 6:30 AM on weekdays in an attractively decorated room. The Geneva hotel's central position places guests within 0.5 miles of Lake Geneva, the Jet d'Eau, and the Basilica Notre-Dame.

“Kipling Manotel's colonial theme creates a distinctive atmosphere in downtown Geneva. Its location, near the train station and lake, provides a practical base despite the surrounding neighborhood's character. I think its charm and family-friendly policies make it a worthwhile option.”
