    Very beautiful ”

    Our family of four stayed from 4/9-4/12 out of our one week’s Japan vacation. It is a pricey hotel but worth it in my opinion if the following requirements are your itinerary: cleanliness, attention to detail, personalized service and beautiful architecture. I have always fancied staying in a traditional Kyoto machiya but felt that it may be too traditional for me so staying at Genji hotel was a good introduction. The kids (teens) loved sleeping in the tatami floor and futons. The space is large enough to accommodate them while we stayed in the bedroom. We got the river view room so it was very relaxing to just look out the huge windows. It is not very far from the train station though we mostly walked around the nearby sights like Kiyomizudera and Gion. The staff are very friendly and they really go out of their way to help out, answer questions, make reservations and even look for items for you that you may be interested in like the wooden clogs my husband wanted. Our daughter’s favorite activity though is being able to walk to the nearby sento (umeyu) even late at night to use it to relax after a whole day of walking. Overall, it was a very nice treat while staying in Kyoto.

    Amazing Stay in Kyoto”

    My wife and I were blown away by the staff and facilities at Genji Kyoto. Genji is a short 10-15 minute walk from Kyoto station, located along the Kamogawa River. We arrived at Genji, along with a friend who was staying elsewhere in Kyoto, after a train in from Tokyo. The front desk staff created us immediately upon entry and offered us a drink, including our friend who had come along to Genji with us because of an early dinner reservation that evening. The staff offered her a drink as well and didn’t mind our friend arriving with us (something I’ve experienced at other hotels). The checkin process was easy and we were then given a quick tour of the premises and our room. The room itself was immaculate and beyond comfortable. From the heated floors in the bathroom, to the queen size bed, to the tatami area, the room served as a perfect base camp for exploring Kyoto and recharging after a long day exploring. There is also a roof top garden area that overlooks the river, a great place to relax before heading to dinner or drink coffee in the morning. In addition to the facilities, the staff was outstanding - everyone spoke amazing English so there was no language barrier whatsoever. They were always eager to help whether it was showing us to the in-house laundry facility, setting us up with the included bicycle rentals, or suggesting the best route to any given destination. We will definitely be visiting Japan again and when we do, we will stay at Genji in Kyoto. Thank you so much to everyone at Genji!

    Genji was an absolute marvel and a treat to stay at. While the staff team was the kindest and most attentive hosts, the design of the spaces makes staying at Genji one of the most unique experiences I've had. From the stone garden to the terrarium lamps, the lobby is instantly stunning. Yet the sheet metal engawa and the kind, gentle breeze that sweeps through the space are extra details that one discovers that add layers to enrich the experience of just the lobby. The rooms are intricately detailed, and every surface, fixture, and object feels comfortable to the touch by hand and feet. I also must recommend eating breakfast on the roof. We are very lucky to have a family of turtles nesting right below the balcony, a treat to observe while starting the day with a beautifully crafted set of breakfast items. Genji Kyoto is instantly beautiful, but the intricacies in its designs, settings, and stories make the hotel itself a place worthy of exploration on a trip to Kyoto.

    Best Boutique Hotel ”

    The reasons that I have chosen this uniquely designed Hotel among the rest of hotels in Kyoto is the extraordinary architectural exterior and the interior design that was exquisitely constructed.Everything in it was styled with contemporary style mixed with Japanese elements.From the furniture to the interior finishings even the bathroom itself is amazing. My family indeed have spent their wonderful vacation in Kyoto, not only due the comfort and convenience of the location of this hotel but most importantly the hospitality and wonderful staff who also make the difference.They have gone an extra mile to offer you an amazing experience and excellent services that no other hotel had ever provided!Thank you for the amazing time in Kyoto.Highly recommended for families with children or couples.
