Fantastic Stay at Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi – Highly Recommend! We spent five wonderful days in Kyoto in early June and chose Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi for its unbeatable location—and it did not disappoint! Nestled in the heart of a vibrant neighborhood, the hotel is steps away from Nishiki Market and surrounded by endless shopping streets. Yet, despite the lively surroundings, our room was peaceful and quiet, offering the perfect retreat after a day of exploring. The hotel itself has so many thoughtful touches. The lobby, located one level down, provides direct access to the subway, making transportation a breeze. We also loved the full breakfast and relaxing lounge area, but the real standout was the beverage machine with Tsujiri Matcha Latte—so delicious that guests lined up for it (pro tip: grab it early before it runs out!). Our room was spacious by Japanese standards, and the shower was incredibly comfortable, which was a welcome luxury. We also appreciated the two complimentary bottled waters daily (just ask the friendly lobby staff if you need them in advance). Hotel Forza truly elevated our Kyoto experience, blending convenience, comfort, and excellent service. We’d highly recommend staying here—you won’t regret it! ;)

Stayed as a family of 3. Room had 3 single beds, and a couch that you cannot open. There is almost no room left for walking in the room (small size). However it was very very clean hotel. Staff was going above and beyond. They are very helpful. Here are pros and cons; Pros: Location is perfect (great stores, right across 7/11, very close to Nishiki market, walking distance to shops and Gion). Very safe area, close to several public transportation. Bathroom is very clean and functional. Cons: room size is very small, especially if you have hardcover luggages. Even though light is coming from outside, our room has frosty windows, there is no way to see outside.

Great location. Great room. Breakfast was good. Staff friendly and very helpful. No negatives that come to mind. I used luggage forwarding to/ from this hotel - very handy and worth the cost. Laundry washer/dryer machine was very handy. There are two on floor 2, and two on floor 3. Never done laundry myself in hotel before, but instructions were ok, and happy with results. A web page tells you how long left for wash cycle so washing can be left while it is running . No need for washing powder as it has its own.
