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. ##### Gregory Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 14 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/085CEA45736ECF3F8CDB0BE0EA5C7123C961897F1728921431595.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B2318A00C040C2F5D0B181091F2B84FE6D700A241728921431596.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1B63BB67B6B33F39C960F6076542274B3A8EDA3E1728921431359.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/F538ADDDE14F4DC10EF679B4D07EFCE292216F531728921431413.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deirdre 18 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Amazing boutique hotel!! ##### Deirdre Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robin 24 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities We loved this place.
