Le forza est un super hôtel et est très bien situé. Le seul bémol est la description et photos des chambres. Nous avons pris une chambre qui disait être pour 4 et lorsque nous sommes arrivés ( 2 adultes et 2 enfants de 8-10 ans), il n’y avait que 2 petits lits simples. Nous étions là pour 5 nuits et malheureusement aucune solution ne nous a été donnée. Nous avons due faire dormir un enfant dans le divan et coller les 2 lits pour y dormir à 3. La photo des chambres montraient aussi 2 grands lits.

Great service and prime location. The location is unbeatable and very accessible. The staff were highly attentive, and our room was kept spotlessly clean. Like most hotels in Japan, the room was on the smaller side for two adults and two kids, but it worked for us. They offer luggage service if you are traveling so you don’t have to haul your luggage to the next hotel. That service was very helpful and it made things easier since we were traveling with kids. We really enjoyed our stay. The great service and convenience made it a wonderful experience.

Forza is located in the heart of shopping with quick access to the river, mountains, and temples. Take the downstairs exit, and you are connected underground to enormous food courts and multiple transportation options. Be aware that no accommodations were provided for food allergies, and the breakfast buffet items did not list ingredients. There was a good variety of options, but especially since the offerings never changed, ingredient lists would have been helpful. Also, the room was very small. The size was not an issue for us, since we were out all day and could use the breakfast seating area during non-breakfast hours, but it’s not a relaxing space if that is important to you. I would definitely stay at Forza again. The location really cannot be beat.

I loved my stay at Hotel Forza Kyoto. The hotel has a modern and stylish design that gives it a truly upscale feel. From the buffet area and self-check-in machines to the staff uniforms and complimentary coffee and hot chocolate machines, every detail added to the atmosphere of a premium travel experience.

The location is outstanding, with easy access to Nishiki Market, countless restaurants, and luxury stores such as Rolex, Oakley, and Louis Vuitton. There is also a Don Quijote nearby, making it convenient to shop for souvenirs and gifts to bring home.

The only downside was the laundry room. The machines were quite small and there were not enough of them for the number of guests. Other than that, everything was excellent. Overall, my experience was wonderful, and I would gladly stay here again.

This hotel was spot on. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Our luggage was transferred from previous hotel to this one and was ready when we arrived. Elevators worked perfectly. Clean hotel. Spotless. Safe. Great amenities. No washer/dryer in room nor microwave but had a fridge. In a busy area where everything was within walking distance. Best spot in Kyoto where the street the hotel is on is a busy street where everything you need is accessible. Hotel rooms has all the basic necessities with a good bidet, decent size bathroom, tub/shower, fridge, and the best cafe mocha/hot chocolate/coffee machine ever. Hotel also offered a good breakfast with many wonderful options. First time in Japan and Kyoto was my favorite city to go to as had so much to do and the hotel stay helped make our visit to the beautiful city even more memorable.

The location of this hotel was great. We were closed to many things. The hallways were a bit dark for me. I wish they had more washers and dryers. They were only a few on 2 floors. But we made it work.

This hotel has an excellent location, loved it. Near high end stores, restaurants, market, and train station. The room was clean and spacious. The restroom was just beautiful. Best hotel in my stay in Japan. Best part, it was not even expensive.

Stayed at the Forza for 5 nights. It was a good standard tourist class hotel, in the middle of all the Kyoto Action comparable to a Holiday Inn. I picked based on ratings and location. You could walk to restaurants, shops, the river and even Gion - but the main Kyoto train Station was a 40 min walk and with luggage not really doable, so we took a cab both ways. The room was a good size for Japan standards and I liked that they provided 2 free water bottles daily (as long as you had them clean your room). The lobby also offered a 24 hour coffee machine with very small cups - but it was included. You were also given a token daily for a 2 ounce pour of Sake. The lobby when available was great - however it’s the same space they use for breakfast so it isn’t available between 6:30 -10:30 am. The breakfast was reasonably priced for $2200 yen - probably best if you include with your room rate - which we did not. I didn’t care for the self-check in - but 2 of the 4 hotels I stayed at in Japan used this method and it was easy enough. You also self-checked out. They did not offer a laundry service like dry cleaning, but did have self use laundry machines. If you are seeking a mid-range accommodation - this hotel could be a good choice.

Love the location of this hotel! Tons of shopping nearby as well as Taxi stand a couple of minutes away, the train subway is a about an 8 minute walk away as well. There was a slight problem with our room as the filter was really dusty and every time we closed the door dust would fall out but the staff took care of it right away and profusely apologized. They have a coffee machine which can make cappuccino as well as hot chocolate. I wouldn't recommend the breakfast buffet as we felt it wasn't worth the price as there are tons of places to eat around the hotel. Love the rain shower, no bath but we didn't need it. Would definitely stay again

By far the best hotel we have stayed at. Forgot anything, Hotel Forza has you covered. Lots of amenities like coffee, bath salts, toothbrush, you name it they probably will have it ready for you free of charge. English friendly and will hold your bags on the day of checkout if your transportation isn’t until the evening. Would recommend again to anyone staying in the Kyoto area!

I stayed six nights solo at Hotel Forza Kyoto in a twin room, and overall it was one of my favorite hotel stays in Japan. The biggest highlight for me was the bathroom setup. The deep soaking tub and separate shower room were absolutely wonderful after walking 20,000+ steps a day exploring Kyoto. The shower had water jets and spray options everywhere you could want them, which felt amazing on tired muscles and feet after long sightseeing days.

Another thing I really appreciated was the 24-hour coffee availability and the daily complimentary sake service, which became a relaxing little treat each evening before heading out or winding down for the night.

The location was excellent — directly across from Nishiki Market and within walking distance or easy public transportation access to almost everywhere I wanted to visit in Kyoto. It was also very convenient for shopping, restaurants, subway access, and exploring the city both day and night.

The room amenities were plentiful, and I especially appreciated having a makeup mirror, something several other hotels during my trip did not provide. Small detail, but very helpful.

I also used the hotel’s self-service laundry facilities. They have four washer/dryer combo machines, and as long as guests are considerate about removing their laundry promptly, the wait was very manageable.

The only thing missing for me was an in-room safe, which would have been nice for passports and valuables. But aside from that, Hotel Forza was comfort

Very nice hotel, excellent central location (easy to walk around Kyoto), great breakfast.
Only negative would be room details on Expedia-advertised as 3 twin beds, shows picture of small couch and some floor space. Also says “sleeps 6”. I was trying to book a room for 4 people (2adults/2older kids)-entered 3 adults in Expedia and 1 (11yr) old child-figuring there must be option for futon on the floor or fold out couch for 4th person, and that Expedia would not let me book if the bed arrangement would not work for 4 people. The hotel did email after I had booked to let me know 2 people would be sharing a twin bed, and said that occupancy of 6 in the room was based on 2 people sharing each of the 3 twin beds (no futon/tiny couch-no pullout)—which is not reasonable for many people booking for 4 people. So just be careful about reading the listing info at top (and ignoring the sleeps 6 part).

The location of this hotel is great. It has access to the underground walkway from the metro to make it very easy to access. It is located right on the busy street with access to many resturants and the market. The lobby is small with only 1 restroom. They do offer a buffet breakfast but we did not try it. They have a free coffee machine and you get a free glass of Sake each night as well. The room was tiny and felt like cruise ship with a tiny window. Walls were thin; could hear the next door neighbors alarm go off and each time they hit snooze on it as well. Staff was nice. It's an adequate choice.

The availability of a shower/bath, where the shower WAS the floor of the room, gave us a sense of enormous freedom and sensibility. We are building this concept into our new home construction

The separate water closet meant more of us were served at one time - fantastic

Hotel Forza is highly regarded by the neighbors in this upstanding and 100% walkable area of Kyoto


A mighty hotel, excellent staff, terrific breakfasts, amid all kinds of wonderful coffee shops, restaurants, temples right down the street, the most interesting small side streets 50 feet from Hotel Forza, what is not to like

And safe, like I remember Japan from my last visit in 1985.

My son is going to University here in two years, for a year abroad. What a fantastic introduction

We forgot my phone at the auto ticketing area at the Kyoto train station, went back 20 minutes later, asked, and were directed to an area that had it.
