"This was our favorite accommodation in Japan. The staff were all very accommodating, kind and polite. So many thoughtful amenities such as combs, hair ties, popsicles coffee and matcha throughout different times of the day. The female onsen has about 6 different pools with different temperatures. You do have to be naked for the onsen but since it’s separated by gender the shyness goes away quickly. Definitely opt in for the breakfast, it has an extensive spread of options for food and drinks! It remains relatively the same each day (we stayed for 4 days) but varies slightly. I’m sure you will find something you like! Our whole group said this hotel was their favorite because of how fun and different it is but the late night soba and popsicles were such a delight. My niece lost her Invisalign scrunched up in tissue at breakfast, the staff went above and beyond and went through the garbage to find it for her. Talk about service!!! Definitely stay here and enjoy an onsen hotel. It’s centrally located about 6 mins walk to the Kyoto train station and short walk to restaurants and underground shopping/restaurants. "

"Lovely location with very good on site restaurant. The breakfast is a little on the higher price side but very convenient and the staff are extremely attentive. "

"Amazing stay, beautiful hotel and great location."

"We had a great stay. It was near the shopping areas as well as the traditional district Gion. The rooms were comfortable and modern with a bakery and restaurant on the premises. We would definitely stay here again when in Kyoto."

"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."

"Great location. Walkable to so many restaurants, shops and sights. Beautiful property and room. Would recommend highly. "

"The room was equipped with all little necessities the traveller might need- hairbrush, toothbrush toothpaste slippers and more. The hotel is centrally located in the mid of the liveliest Kyoto area on top of Takase canal lined with beautiful Sakura trees. The Blue bottle cafe downstairs has the best coffee and the Master’s Dream house restaurant has the best beer. Walking distance to Maruyama park and Kyoto Takashimaya shopping mall. Amazing stay!"

"Hotel is in a great central location! Close by to Pontocho, Gion and train station. The canal next to the hotel was so beautiful with cherry blossoms and willow trees. Comfy beds and cozy rooms. The breakfast buffet was good also. Note that the hotel's restaurant closes by 3 pm. Would definitely recommend this hotel!"

"Everything was great. I have not had croissants in the morning. They didn’t have."
