Very good location. The rooms were not the cleanest as the headboard area was a bit dusty and there were stains on the couch. Bathroom, blankets, towels, etc were clean. Staff were great. Wifi is really poor at night. Overall, it was a good stay.

Book your trip!

Forza experience was incredible! My husband and I only stayed for 2 nights but would have loved to stay longer. The hotel is beautiful, staff very friendly, & INCREDIBLE breakfast!! We would stay here again solely for the breakfast accommodation. However, the hotel room was spacious as well as the bed & pillows were comfortable. It was walking distance to everything including the bus station (10 min). We highly recommend!

March 2025 trip

Had an amazing time in Kyoto all thanks to Hotel Forza + staff. Hotel Forza was recommended by a family member and they did not disappoint. I arrived later then planned and had communicated that to the hotel in advanced. They were very accommodating and even wished me safe travels. The Takkyubin service made traveling to the next area easier especially since we stopped along the way for another attraction and was worried about availability of coin lockers at the station. There was a free Sake tasting event too! The location of the hotel is very convenient especially when I have to travel very early the next day. There are many stations and bus stops nearby. The humidifier in the room was a great addition. When I come back to Kyoto, I definitely want to stay at Hotel Forza again.

Large property with decently sized rooms. They have a really big onsen that has a nice steam room inside. It’s nice that the kids get their own amenity baggie. It’s in walking distance to the train station. There are also some restaurants near by. Make sure you check to see if they’re open before going. I recommend staying here. The staff are really pleasant and helpful.

The hotel has enough space to open up for our luggage in the room, bath room has much more space, deep tub and new that was plus. Very clean and quiet. They have free coffee and matcha latte machine around the front desk. Very convenient location to walk around the city. We’ll definitely coming back next time.
