Great stay with good service
A great experience, restaurant staff is amazing, and breakfast delicious. Everyone always friendly, and its a well-maintained comfortable hotel!
Only side comment: Cleaning service came a bit too early on one day and the cleaning man waited inside my room which was odd. I’d rather have cleaning service come in later and not wait around until you leave.

Great short stay!
Chose a hotel close to the train station as we had a very early train to catch and it was just a short walk away and was pleasantly surprised by the Hotel Kipling. The staff were very friendly and helpful making the check in and out process easy. The room and bathroom was quite large making it perfect for two international travellers to open their suitcases and not have to climb over the top of things/each other. The room and bathroom were also exceptionally clean. We enjoyed the decorations and art work that depicted lots of history.

The hotel was great... Comfortable beds, nice decorations, quiet room, great breakfast, friendly staff and close to old town and transportation... The only thing was that the shower did not have a big enough curtain or door so it was difficult to take a shower without splashing water everywhere, but besides that I loved the hotel and highly recommended!!!
