This hotel offers a new generation of Holiday Inn. Everything is sophisticated. To be honest, much better than Crowne Plaza in Japan.

Due to Kyoto City Government law, the bottom category room called Cozy Room (14 sqm, 59 rooms) can only accept single stay. Therefore, this category room cannot have high prices. If you are visiting Kyoto alone, this hotel will be a good deal for you.
