The staff was very friendly and helpful. Laundry was very easy to do. Really liked the afternoon complimentary Sake cups. It is very central and accessible to a lot of Kyoto. The primary downside I felt was that the bidet was not working properly (low pressure & the seat warmer was broken) and the room took a while to get cool.
More washers are needed for the hotel. Vending machine for water/soda would be nice to have. This is our 2nd time staying at Hotel Forza. I would highly recommend this location
This was a great hotel for the price that we paid. The room was a decent size. Amenities were great. We were able to borrow umbrellas for the day as it was crazy hot. The hotel had a sake hour and every night we were able to get a token each and have a cup of sake. Didn’t use those most nights though. Super central to the nishiki markets and other food places. Very safe both morning and night. The main station that we had to use for activities was about a 10min walk
Laundry: will be good to add one or two machines as we had to wait several hours to get an empty machine and use it. Two stairs had busy machines until 11pm
Hotel was excellent, area was magnificent, room was very confortable.
It is very central with many shops around including the Nintendo one right next door. The rooms are small for two people but it is expected when located in the city center. Overall, it was a good location.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
While in a good location, photos are misleading as rooms are not nice and much smaller than described
Bed was a little uncomfortable , particularly the pillows.
First room had frosted windows and felt claustrophobic, asked to move and the next room was much better with a view of the street .
Great hotel, quite in the center - bus stop is closeby and train station is below. Staff are very super helpful. Breakfast is good as well with local dishes like eel also served.
Hotel offers free sake drinks for two everyday and also arranges for luggage transport with Yamato- super convenient!
Love everything about this hotel, friendly staff, great location, next to the castle, safe, and the highlight of this hotel is the breakfast buffet. The least favorite is shower area not that clean.
you can pick up the bus out of the hoten and easy access to metro
Great services, you get free shot of sake daily and unlimited matcha and coffee,loved the size of the room, was good according Japan Standards.
Our family of 4 stayed here for 2 nights. The room was spacious and clean, we enjoyed the free coffee and tea downstairs and the hotel is in a great location. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in Kyoto.
