JR Limited Express Haruka trains
arrive at Track 30 and Track 0 near the Central Gate of Kyoto Station,
around the station's Karasuma end [north end].
http://www.westjr.co.jp/global/en/timetable/pdf/station_kyoto.pdfThe Haruka trains departing at 19:16 and at 20:16 from Kansai-airport Station

[Courtesy bus]
As frog1954 explains,
flying into KIX around 7 pm,
you cannot catch the last 19:45 [7:45 pm] courtesy bus leaving Kyoto Station.
(The courtesy buses depart
from the Hachijo end [south end] of the station,
which means you have to walk long with your luggage between the two ends.)
[Kyoto City Bus]
It may take about 10 minutes
for you to get from the platform via the Central Gate
to Bus Stand B1 in the bus terminal.
There buses depart for Nijo(-jo) Castle until around 22:50,
at longer intervals after 21:00 of about 15 to 20 minutes.
When you quickly find the bus stand and soon catch a bus,
you can get to the hotel earlier compared to when you take two subway trains.

you or maybe another passenger pushes a button to notify the bus driver.
