Absolutely wonderful position, friendly efficient staff, good beds, daily free sake and coffee. Not so good points; (1) our "superior" double room had the bed jammed up against one wall so that one spouse had to walk on the bed to get in or out - we've stayed here before and don't recall the rooms being this small (2) the TV had no channels as such, just streaming services and YouTube. So no BBC World News or even CNN - lucky we have a Netflix subscription!
Love, love, love this hotel! My favorite so far out of three cities. It’s not only beautiful and clean, but in a wonderful location with so much shopping and places to eat, along with being close to transportation.
Things I loved: spacious and clean room, easy check in and out, easy luggage storage, amenities basket, great lobby with free coffee machine, kind staff, and soft pillows!
Things to improve: The only thing I’d like is a change machine to do laundry. My clothes were still wet and I ran out of coins. Reception was already closed since it was late.
Other than that, so happy with my stay and would stay here in a heart beat again! Thank you!
Great hotel! Very clean and well maintained, in a great location. Would definitely stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Staff are excellent. My only complaint is every night I got woken up by the sound of next door’s baby multiple times. There are also “machine” like sound going on constantly which I can ignore, but the baby was so loud. Could be better with sound defending..
This was our second time at Hotel Forza Kawaramachi. We are happy we came back! It's well taken care of, luxury-feel, great staff, and a lovely stay.
The room layout (double room) is small but the space is designed to accommodate. Love the hair products and soap offered, its good quality and smells great.
The breakfast buffet has a variety of western and Japanese options. Free sake, coffee machine, and laundry facilities are great additions. The lobby space is a clean, calm space to sit in and relax.
Overall, a great hotel! Would return next time and recommend to everyone coming to Kyoto.
Great location, great amenities, very swanky feel to a hotel. Out of five hotels stayed at for multi country/city, this ranked #2.
Staff were very attentive and great ambience all around.
