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.

Unacceptable Cleaning and Hygiene Standards

"Disappointing Stay at Hotel Forza Kyoto I recently booked two rooms for a two-night stay at Hotel Forza Kyoto through (link unavailable) Unfortunately, my experience was marred by a sanitation issue that left a poor impression. Upon checking into one of the rooms, I was dismayed to find hair on the bed sheets of both beds. I immediately contacted the front desk, and they promptly offered to change our room. However, this process wasted valuable time - approximately an hour - which was frustrating given our limited stay in Kyoto. I was expecting a higher standard of cleanliness, especially from a hotel partnered with (link unavailable), which I have always trusted to provide excellent customer service. I hope that Hotel Forza Kyoto will take steps to improve their housekeeping standards to prevent similar experiences in the future. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely,

Great stay just like the 1st time

This is our 2nd time staying here after a fantastic experience last time. Location and condition of the hotel are superb. Additional perks such as one free sake tasting per night and 24 hours coffee machine (their mocha latte is the best) are available. Only downside is the bed is slightly towards the harder side and pillows are either too hard or too low but some may just love it as is.
