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.

Excellent boutique hôtel. Très confortable avec un air de ryokan par les petits jardins visibles de la chambre et le décor général. Très bien situé et un personnel aux petits soins pour les clients. Remarquable expérience.
Christian, 1-night trip

A boutique hotel located in a tranquil neighborhood beside the beautiful Kamo-gawa River and definitely a highlight of our trip in Kyoto.

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.

접근성이 다소 떨어지지만 직원분들의 서비스는 나무랄 데 없이 흘륭했으며 시설 역시 청결하게 잘 관리되고 있어서 만족스러웠습니다. 교토를 다시 방쿤할 기회가 있다면 다시 찾고 싶습니다.
Kyunghoon, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

만족합니다. 작고 귀여운 호텔이에요. 앞 길은 차가 들어가기 좀 좁아서 불편한 점은 있습니다만 호텔의 인테리어와 청결 상태, 강 뷰를 생각하면 감수할만 하다고 생각했습니다. 기회가 된다면 또 묵고 싶은 곳이에요.
JOOHYUN, 4-night trip

Très bel hôtel, au calme, mais proche du quartier touristique de Gion. L'aspect général de l'hôtel et la décoration de style japonaise sont vraiment magnifiques. Le service est également parfait. Magnifique expérience, nous reviendrons.

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.

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.
