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.

The hotel is tucked away on a Main Street but once inside it is a restful sanctuary. Its lobby is spacious and has an electronic checkout system. The staff helpful and kind. The furniture in my room was smartly organized and I even had a lovely couch to watch the TV! The bathroom had French shampoo, conditioner and body wash. This hotel was a highlight of my trip.

The hotel is modern, and definitely has good things, but our room had a bed you could barely call a "twin" bed, the smalles in all our Japan trip with similar rooms in price and location, it was a struggle with two large bags and two of us in the room. The area is fantastic, and the hotel lobby and staff are great. So as long as you don't plan on staing inside the room too long this is great. Location is right next to the market and easy to catch buses to move around.
