Genji Kyoto, a Member of Design Hotels

I 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.

We 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.

We were very happy with our stay at the Genji.

Genji 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.

Gorgeous property! Every turn brings peace and serenity! Amazing staff with superb service. Front desk lady was so kind!

Nothing

L’emplacement hors des circuits touristiques, l’attention du personnel, le petit déjeuner japonais, la chambre et son confort, en bref tout.

Franchement rien à dire. s’il faut vraiment trouver quelque chose, la carte pour dîner est limitée, mais les restaurants à côté ne manquent pas.

Great location, quiet. Beautiful Japanese decor with modern comforts.

Possibly the loveliest, most relaxing hotel l have ever stayed in. This is a 19 room hotel on the riverside in a quiet part of central Kyoto. Without doubt the stars are 1: the staff - They were wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble, everything done with a smile and courtesy, 2: the roof garden terrace, which overlooks eastern Kyoto enabling you to enjoy half of the city whilst you have breakfast, dinner or just drinks. All beautifully served and presented by the staff at, wait for it, not outrageous prices. We were on the 3rd floor and had a really great room, with lots of luxury and space. The location is excellent - there are bars, beer places, restaurants galore within a short walk and it's about a 15-20 minute walk to the JR station.
