We stayed 2 nights in the first week of April 2012. The room/bed are comfortable and also very silent.The hotel offers shuttle bus from the Kyoto train station. You take the bus in the called Hachijo-guchi. You need to cross the street and the bus stop is in the opposite site of train station. The fare takes around 25 minutes.... More

Although the hotel is in a quiet area, it is well compensated by the good service and the facilities available in and around the hotel. The staffs were friendly and one of the speaks perfect english who helps me to translate to Japanese language on the place of interest and things I need to buy which facilitates my travelling. In...

Despite being a little far from Kyoto station, I'm actually glad I chose to stay at this hotel. It gave me an incentive to wake up early and jump on the first shuttle bus to see the city. Service was great and the rooms were nice and clean and well maintained. The best part about is was being able to... More

Nice property, comfortable room. The hotel is mingled with a shopping mall, which provides several options for shopping including a fairly big supermarket in the basement. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful, even if their English was a little patchy. Location could be good or an issue, depending on the guest needs. It is a significant trip to... More

The hotel is a bit outdated and needs to be refreshed, but being in a building complex adjacent to a shopping malls with a food court and not too far from local bus lines we managed to enjoy our stay and visit to Kyoto. Good points: - Friendly staff really explaining well how to get around ad to please you... More

In this respect the hotel is convenient, five minutes walk away from the nearest bus stop and several bus stops away from Ryoanji and other famous shrines of northern Kyoto. We also liked the punctual connection by... More

We spent 8 nights at the Holiday Inn in Kyoto. We had a room with three beds. Beds were very comfortable, all in all 2 beds would have been fine (for 2 adults + 1 9yo girl). The bathroom was the standard we found in every hotel during our Japan trip. We had a room on the 9nth floor with... More

This hotel is defined by its location, which is in a shopping center in a residential area. As a result, it has low prices and is one of the last Kyoto hotels to fill up in the high season. This location's advantage is that every need can be filled at the shopping center, at normal prices; as any Japanese shopping... More

This hotel was clean and tidy, but just too far away from the action for my liking. I booked the hotel via Australian website wotif.com and had no problems. The staff were courteous and made me feel welcome. They provided maps of the local area which was very helpful. The room I stayed in had an average view (no balcony)... More
