Unless you Kyoto hotel is next to Kyoto station, you might want to use a different train, actually don’t use a limited express, there is other train that are as fast but will be cheaper. If you stay around Gion/Kawaramachi, that I think is more interesting, use Keihan or Hankyu train direct to this area.
