We only stayed at the Holiday Inn in Kyoto for 2 nts because we couldn’t get in to other accommodation we wanted on the days we’d chosen to be there, but it worked out well for us. This was the lowest star rating of any hotel we stayed in during our trip to Japan and so we didn’t have high... more

Great stay. The food was good at the restaurant, much nicer than any Holiday Inn in the U.s. The business center is free and the rooms are really big. The rooms are nice, adequate and comfortable. The hotel is not the fanciest but it is still a nice hotel and I would stay there again. The staff is nice, and... more

The breakfast buffet, for a few dollars more, was excellent! The rooms were perfect and everything was extremely clean. The attention in the front desk was impecable and overall I felt they really cared for the guests. The location was also quite good because it was next to a shopping center and you could have lunch there or buy some... more

Directions on their website is lacking quite a bit. After getting off the long bus ride, there are no signs that you can understand or see any indication of a Holiday Inn nearby. Luckily a traffic guard around the corner new to ask us if we were looking for the Holiday Inn! You have to go through retail store doors,... more

Our family of three stayed three days at this hotel for a leisure tourist trip to Kyoto. The hotel runs a rather infrequent shuttle service to and from Kyoto station. The pick-up location is outside across the street from the station. We got very clear direction from the hotel for the pick-up location. You will waste a lot of time... more

I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights in June 2008. The hotel is a bit out of the way. It's four stops from the Shijo/river station, so it doesnt take long to get to the main part of town. You just have to be willing to navigate the train system (it really isn't that bad, and I don't speak... more

I would echo the positive comments made by others. I stayed here recently for four nights. Although a bit out of the way, the Mall next door is very convenient (and has a Starbucks!) and it's easy to get buses which take you to the main tourist areas of Kyoto. The rooms are very comfortable, very good value, there is... more

This hotel is a fair distance from Kyoto main station and the journey is not walkable. To compensate this the hotel provides a shuttle bus that runs from the back of the station to the doorstep. On the way back the bus makes two scheduled stops at two very popular areas of Kyoto. The rooms are very clean and tidy.... more

Overall, the hotel was pretty good. The room was clean, and the price was quite reasonable. The AC in the room didn't work, and even though we had a non-smoking room, it smelled smoky. Other than those minor complaints, we were happy with the hotel. more
