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The hotel is a bit outdated and needs to be refreshed, but being in a building complex adjacent to a shopping malls with a food court and not too far from local bus lines we managed to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

We went for the Holiday Inn in Kyoto because on a personal trip, proximity to public transport lines and the sights was essential. 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 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

The Holiday Inn is nice enough, and there are a couple of decent restaurants in the same building, including a quick sushi place. The drawback is the distance from Kyoto city centre. There is a free hotel minibus to the central station, which is a real bonus, but this does not run particularly late if you're returning from a day... More

Not particularity close to anything (restaurants, other hotels and tour stops) - very long cab ride from the rail station. Resturants were nothing much - there was a McDonalds next door in the basement of a small department store. Had to cab to other hotels and back to connect with tours. Room was somewhat cramped but about par for a... More
