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

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Kyoto in January 2007. The location is a bit out of the way, but we had done our homework before and knew it wasn't right in the thick of things. The room was on the small side, but accommodated our family of 4 just fine. The shopping mall in the basement was fabulous as... more

We stayed in the hotel for 3 nights in early October. We booked a non smoking room over the hotels's website for less than $100 per night. The room was clean and quiet. We didn't spend much time in the hotel, a bus stop with several routes which takes you to the highlights in the city is a 5 minute... more

My friends and I decided to take a weekend trip to visit my friend in Kyoto, so we stayed here using my father's points. We just wanted someplace to sleep and were not too worried about the property, as it was free. We did not have any problem finding the taxi shuttle from the Kyoto station, and had a fun... more

Shuttle bus from JR Station was hard to find and it runs every 30 min. Travel time by local bus takes 40min and by taxi 20min. This hotel is clean, safe and average. Reception was polite. Rooms were clean and basic. If you take room with two double beds, you have good wide beds with good bed linens and comfort,... more

Since we were booking during cherry blossom season, it was tough to find vacancies. We stayed the first several nights in Hotel Nishiyama and moved here for the final night. We knew it was out of the way, but it was the only thing we could find in our moderate price range. There are several washers and dryers, but I... more

We booked the Holiday Inn because we didn't understand the Japanese system of shipping bags between hotels .... We had thought that this was something that only happened easily between hotels of the same chain, and since we were tied in to a chain hotel in Yokohama, booked the same in Kyoto a week later, and at Narita two weeks... more
