Great location that is a bus ride away from Gion. Loved the access to the underground subway walkway and daily free sake from the sake serving machine downstairs. It is great that there is a coffee machine in the lobby but the coffee is not great. Having access to washer/dryer was a plus. They worked well and you could also monitor on the availability on a webpage to know when a machine is available and when your wash is done. The staff was prompt in their service. We were able to borrow umbrellas when needed and also an iron. Overall we loved our stay in Forza and would recommend it.

Absolutely wonderful position, friendly efficient staff, good beds, daily free sake and coffee. Not so good points; (1) our "superior" double room had the bed jammed up against one wall so that one spouse had to walk on the bed to get in or out - we've stayed here before and don't recall the rooms being this small (2) the TV had no channels as such, just streaming services and YouTube. So no BBC World News or even CNN - lucky we have a Netflix subscription!

Love, love, love this hotel! My favorite so far out of three cities. It’s not only beautiful and clean, but in a wonderful location with so much shopping and places to eat, along with being close to transportation. Things I loved: spacious and clean room, easy check in and out, easy luggage storage, amenities basket, great lobby with free coffee machine, kind staff, and soft pillows! Things to improve: The only thing I’d like is a change machine to do laundry. My clothes were still wet and I ran out of coins. Reception was already closed since it was late. Other than that, so happy with my stay and would stay here in a heart beat again! Thank you!
