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.

This is a fabulous hotel from all points of view: convenient location, gorgeous design, excellent amenities, but most importantly staff who go out of their way to accommodate the guests. Everyone was excellent. Many thanks to multilingual Sergei who takes special care of his guests. I highly recommend this hotel and will certainly return if I have another opportunity to be in Kyoto.

Genji met expectations
Overall great stay at Genji that met expectations. I'd recommend it, though think there are likely equal or better alternatives in Kyoto. We stayed here for 1 night as part of a 2 week honeymoon trip. Room: overall very good. Great shower and bath. Spacious. Nice mix of modern and traditional design. We had a garden room and I wish we had gotten a river view room as the garden view felt a bit meh/dark. Service: helpful and friendly staff. We had one misstep toward the end of our stay re: laundry services that impacted our experience a bit but not a dealbreaker. Area: nice area of Kyoto. Walkable and near the trains. They had just replaced the flooring in our room so there was a strong straw smell. Worth knowing if that kinda thing will bother you.

Just...wow! Out of more than a dozen places our group stayed, Genji is our favorite place to stay. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, the property is recently opened and in immaculate condition, the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The location is nicely situated in a quiet nook along the river with many popular sites within walking distance. Higashiyama Ward, for example, is a short walk across the river, and Kiyomizudera Nioman Gate is visible from the rooftop garden – definitely check it out at night when it's lit up. We'd stay here forever if it was an option.

Genji is a gem
Well located, beautifully conceived, designed and constructed. All staff were eager, friendly, thoughtful and competent. Loved the properly constructed timber furniture and the modern traditional design was inspiring.

Staying there was a dream!
Length of stay: one night (March 2023) Had a really amazing stay at Genji - everything was perfect! Here's what I loved about Genji: Conveniently located - 5 to 7 minutes walk from Shichijo metro station, at a very peaceful and quiet neighborhood; yet also not far (by foot) from the very bustling Pontocho Allery and Kawaramachi area. Design/ rooms - very thoughtful and stylish designs, with such beautiful integration of nature in the hotel architecture. I stayed in a room with a view of the Kamo River, which was spectacular and such a joy to wake up to. Service - absolutely stellar. The hotel staff were very proficient in English, warm and helpful all the way. I could not recommend this fantastic hotel more!
