Everything was amazing! First of all the design of every detail from the entrance, to the lobby, the rooms and the roof garden was beautiful. The staff was so helpful and endearing, as well as very adept with English. The location was ideal. The complementary laundry facility was a real bonus. The chef was also great! This was truly our home in Kyoto, and always a pleasure to return to after a busy day in town!
We stayed here for 3 nights and absolutely loved it. A great location, easy to get just about anywhere from the hotel. The service and staff we're some of the best we've ever had the pleasure to stay with. We highly recommend this location and would stay here again for sure! Thanks Genji Kyoto for taking care of us!
Amazing stay at this hotel. Great service, they are all super helpful and friendly. We had our Japanese breakfast at the terrace. Food was delicious and amazing view!
Highly recommend this hotel.
Staff were exceptional, room had great views of the river. Conveniently located within walking distance to attractions, or close to public transport for areas further away.
One of my favorite hotel stays ever, anywhere. The staff are incredible, the service is second to none, and the rooms are lovely - modern, with a Japanese minimalist sensibility.
This is an amazing hotel. The room was great and spacious. The service at the hotel is outstanding. The staff is extremely helpful and courteous. Will definitely stay here again.
Genji is a beautiful gem of a small boutique hotel. Everything was in perfect harmony from the architecture to the furnishings to the classy Kyoto style. The staff were superb, helpful and presented us with wonderful meals and inventive cocktails
We loved this hotel so much that we stayed an extra 3 nights! The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, and the rooms were beautiful. We will be back!
A boutique hotel located in a tranquil neighborhood beside the beautiful Kamo-gawa River and definitely a highlight of our trip in Kyoto. Very convenient guest rooms with modern-style design combining traditional Japanese elements. Superb and helpful staffs. All of these made a lasting impression on me and gave me wonderful memories.
Simply one of the best hotel stays we've ever had. Service level is extremely high, even by Japanese standards. Hotel design is beautiful and modern while staying true to the Kyoto aesthetic. Location is perfect.
With the experience provided, this was the best value of our trip.
