Pros:

This place was 11/10 incredible! The hotel is beautifully designed and intimate, and the rooftop is a great place to enjoy morning coffee or a cocktail. The staff were so kind and helpful, truly some of the best service we had in Japan. This is a must-book if you're staying in Kyoto!

Pros:

Probably the best hotel experience I've had in Japan so far! The hotel is beautifully designed and the staff delivered kind and warm hospitality throughout our stay. When we came back from a run along the Kamo river, they would even offer us cold bottles of water or cold towels. The room is stylish and we truly had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We especially enjoyed the river view from our hotel room, such a beautiful way to experience Kyoto.

Fabulous boutique hotel in excellent location
Pros:

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.

Unique boutique hotel in quiet, charming location
Pros:

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.

Cons:

nothing
