Staffs there are pleasant and good in English. The hotel gave us a local feeling with the use of tatamis design. Great choice to be away from the hustling and bustling city center and walkable distance to Kyoto or Gojo subway stations.

Spotless and almost ryokan-like experience.
Staff is 5/5, wooden bathrooms 5/5, our room was spacious and the small local brewery next door is the icing on the cake. Typical japanese hospitality, highly recommended!

Had a really amazing stay at Genji - everything was perfect! Here's what I loved about Genji:
Conveniently located - 5 to 7 minutes walk from Shichijo metro station, at a very peaceful and quiet neighborhood; yet also not far (by foot) from the very bustling Pontocho Allery and Kawaramachi area.
Design/ rooms - very thoughtful and stylish designs, with such beautiful integration of nature in the hotel architecture. I stayed in a room with a view of the...

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, the lobby itself, the light installation, even at the stairs was so pretty the staff were all very friendly and polite and very helpful as well. Property is gorgeous the room is clean and well maintained. The location is amazing just at the train station. Only downside I would say about this is I wish this hotel had a pool. Very grateful for the staff that they helped to prepare baby ingredients to prepare his food.

Right beside a train station and extremely convenient to head to areas while avoiding the everyday crowd. We had to remove our shoes as the whole hotel is paved with tatami mats which was really comfortable to walk in. Room is clean with basic amenities available such as toiletries, water etc. the private onsen saved my lower limbs from the walks and tours. Depending on the timing you can get drinks or late night ramen after the onsen experience.

A newly renovated hotel. A bargain given its location near the trainstation and its on site onsen. Highly recommend and would stay here when I visit Kyoto in the future.

Quiet location that is walkable to Kyoto station. Very accessible yet away from the city noises. Room is much larger than anywhere we've stayed in Japan (we booked the superior King).
Walking distance to lots of eating places and recommend trying the local restaurants around the block if you're overwhelmed by theboptions at the train station.

Love it! Love it! Love it! Staff spoke fluent English, it was easy to ask for help. They have a chill rooftop on top. Walking distance to Shichijo station and supermarket and McDonalds is about 2 streets away.
The room was clean, neat and spacious. It has everything I need for a washer/ dryer to stove and iron and even an air purifier.
FYI, the actual hotel is wayyyy better than the photos.
