LikedThis place was 11/10 incredible! The hotel is beautifully designed and intimate, and the rooftop is a great place to enjoy morning coffee or a cocktail. The staff were so kind and helpful, truly some of the best service we had in Japan. This is a must-book if you're staying in Kyoto!

“Fabulous boutique hotel in excellent location”
LikedI adored this hotel and experience. The rooms were delightful, the beds very comfortable, the service impeccable. The roof top for drinks and snacks was a huge bonus. I loved how quiet and serene the neighborhood was yet so close to walk to many things. The staff here, especially Shin and Eri were over the top accommodating.
LikedWe had a wonderful stay, staff was excellent, breakfast was a good start to the day, rooftop was a lovely space to hang out and dine in, room was very comfortable for a family of four. Location was walkable and convenient for us.
DislikedWe were very happy with our stay at the Genji.
“Amazing”
LikedGorgeous property! Every turn brings peace and serenity! Amazing staff with superb service. Front desk lady was so kind!
“Unique boutique hotel in quiet, charming location”
LikedGenji Kyoto is wonderful! Our river view room with a private deck was gorgeous, the included breakfast was delicious, the staff were all so helpful and the location worked for us. We really loved that it was away from the hectic craziness and it was easy to still get around by walking, biking (bikes for use at the hotel) and via taxi for far away spots. I am so glad we stayed here instead of at the larger more "central" michelin property I had considered. This unique boutique hotel offered incredible beauty and lovely touches throughout. If you stay, consider taking the bikes along the river path. We rode to the Kyoto National Garden and it was a nice changeup from the typical tourist spots.
LikedGreat location, quiet. Beautiful Japanese decor with modern comforts.
“Our best stay of our 3 week trip!”
LikedBreakfast was excellent and beautifully presented. Location was perfect.
