Really nice hotel to stay at. Location was great and central to many things around the city. Subway can be accessed right from the hotel itself (and right next to the Mario wall in the subway). Staff was amazing and very friendly. Room fit our needs perfectly. Great job and thanks for an amazing stay

Very nice hotel, conveniently located - walk to the train station and along the shopping district. Within steps of Nishiki market. They provide complimentary sake and coffee. Negative is that the rooms are a bit small, tho typical of Japanese hotel room. Also the windows in the room are frosted, so you can’t look out at anything. No seating in the lobby area in the morning to drink coffee, if you don’t purchase breakfast. Seating after breakfast is very nice.

We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Forza. The staff was very courteous and helpful. The location is a big plus as it is in the middle of everything. I appreciate the staff going out of it's way to be helpful.

In Kyoto for 5 days. Hotel was in a good location - a very short walk to Nishiki Market and walkable to Gion. Breakfast was very good-both east and west foods. Very modern decor although we felt that the hallways and rooms were to dark - our room could have used an extra lamp or two. Room also was a tad on the small side for 2 adults.

Lovely hotel in a fantastic location - moments to Nishiki Markets, Gion, shops and transport. Room was nice and quite big by Japan standards. Very easy check in and out.

We had 4 rooms total and all were a different layout. Mine was the only one with a view (nice view of the main street) but the other 3 rooms had windows that were frosted because they were facing other buildings. My layout was perfect, very wide open, others were a little less open though all were the same size with the same amenities. I loved the shower room--the entire room was basically a shower with a chair to sit on under the showerhead and it also had a tub if you wanted to soak. This made it very ADA friendly for my parents who have mobility issues. Bed was easily the most comfortable of all the hotels I stayed at in Japan. The hallways are very dark and so it's an interesting atmosphere that I liked but some might not like. Location was great, right on the main road in central Kyoto with tons of places to go. Nishiki Market is only a 2 minute walk away. I only interacted with the staff for check-in/out but they were very polite and hospitable. I think I did have a check in with the automated check in system--if I remember right it couldn't find my reservation by last name but found it by first, which was odd but ended up not being a big deal. Would definitely stay here again.

One of the best hotels you can stay while in Kyoto. You simply cannot go wrong booking this hotel. It’s in the heart of everything, so many stores, restaurants, shopping and train stations near by. We stayed on the 6th floor and it was very quiet. Rooms are big, clean and very comfortable with a very nice shower room. The free coffee in the lobby was a very nice touch. All staff we interacted with spoke English and were so helpful. Staff assisted with luggage transfer as well as luggage storage, both very easy and simple. Thank you for having us!

Good location, friendly staff, 1 glass of free sake per guest per night and unlimited free coffee. Wish there would be more washing machines though

Wonderful stay

This was our favourite hotel on our Japan trip! It was in a great area with plenty to walk to, minutes from Nishiki market and about 20-30 to get to the river and Gion area. Lots of buses right outside and restaurants/shopping nearby. The hotel and a lovely, cool lobby with free coffee/matcha machine and one free Sake a day. The room was the biggest we stayed in while in Japan. The staff were lovely and very helpful. They stored our luggage on the last day so we could explore still. Highly recommend staying here.

very good hotel

Not enough laundry facilities for 8 floors of guests, only 4 washer/driers they were always in use when we attempted to use them. Staff were also a little too forceful at pushing english language despite best intentions of using japanese language

Very convenient location. Buffer breakfast is ok not recommend for those who have high expectation though since there are so many restaurant nearby.

Very comfortable stay. Amazing breakfast! Located on Main Street, easy access to train station. Would definitely use Forza hotels again.

I choose this hotel for the location. It is very close to the subway, restaurants, and shopping areas. The hotel staff was very friendly and answered all my questions. The room accommodations were great and I was surprised to see that there are laundry rooms available in case you need to wash clothes. This came in handy during my trip. You cannot go wrong choosing this hotel, great staff, great location, quiet, and close to major attractions.

good
