This hotel was in an amazing location! It is super clean and the staff is very friendly. However, the beds are extremely hard and uncomfortable. That’s why I gave comfort a 4 star.

We had a great stay at Hotel Forza. The rooms were clean and the bathroom was spacious. I loved the shower and bathtub combo. We enjoyed the drink machine with coffee and matcha options. I appreciated the evening free sake was a nice touch. You just asked the front desk for a coin. The front desk was very helpful. They helped with getting a taxi, making dinner reservations and much more. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would come back.

This hotel is amazing! Not only clean and quiet and very modern but perfectly positioned close to all of the metro / train stations and hundreds of dinings options. The main road is great and bustling but also take the time to drop back one or two streets and explore the more traditional stores and eateries, it’s like a different city!
I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kyoto!
