Restaurant/places to eat in Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi

The location is at the center of the city that allows easy access to major attractions and shopping choices. 地點好、交通便利，十分推薦 Our twin room is spacious for two and our 28inch luggage opened. Toilet and bathroom are separate. The bathtub fills quickly. There is 24-hour air circulation in the shower to keep the bathroom dry. Beds don’t squeak. There is light blocking curtain to keep the room dark. Remember to draw the curtains as the room can be looked in from the street below. Our room faces the main road Shijo but is still quiet at night. Guests get a token for sake daily from 16:00 to 22:00. There are two choices. I found that a nice touch. Buffet breakfast can be purchased even on the same day for ¥2800 per person. The breakfast includes western and Japanese foods. Hotel can be accessed by the underground passage that runs under Shijo. Exit 11 to be exact. But it closes at night till morning. *I wish the layout of the furniture could be more efficient. There is quite some dead space that goes unused and wasted. We had to move things around in the room to accommodate our needs. For example, the two beds in the room are separated by a tight gap. Each bed is placed away from the wall/window by another 30 cm. That’s a total of three tigh spaces that that could’ve been combined to create 1 meter wide of separation(ie walkable space)

The hotel is located on a very busy street with many shops and restaurants which we liked. It’s also located to many street marketplaces. Just down the street are a couple of train stations. We noticed there is an entrance/exit in the lobby to the train station, but we never utilized it. The hotel is very modern & clean. We entered the hotel on the street level and took an escalator down one level to the main lobby. Like many establishments in Japan, it doesn’t look like much from the street level, but it opens up once entered. The staff was very young, courteous, kind & helpful and spoke English. Once breakfast time was done, the dining area was a great place for us to gather, meet, regroup throughout the day for our party of 9. They also offer complimentary coffee/tea drinks via machine at all hours and wine or sake later in the evening. The rooms are small which we expected but clean and comfortable and housekept well. Love how the bathroom mirror automatically defogs shower steam! I also love the strong water pressure, esp because it’s so weak at my own home! I would definitely stay here again.

There were several features that I loved. First, the bathroom/shower, toilet and sink are all separate from each other. Perfect for not getting in the way of each other, i.e. One can use the shower, the other can use the toilet. Not only that, since the bathroom is its own separate room, one doesn't need to be overly mindful of getting the floor wet and no dealing with sticky shower curtains. Secondly, location is perfect. My brother and I did day trips out to Arashiyama, Gion district, Nara and Osaka, a great central-ish homebase. It's a 7 minute walk to the next subway station, east (Gion-shijo/Kyoto-kawaramachi) and west (Karasuma/Shijo). Tip: Use the underground passage to avoid traffic lights and use Exit 11 from the underground to enter Hotel Forza. Lastly, you can decide whether to have breakfast or not in the morning. We were often on a tight schedule, so we did not take the 'breakfast included' package. You can still always decide to buy a breakfast coupon if you have time during the moring. I hope you enjoy your stay as much as I did.

This was my second visit to the place. Decided to visit again since the first time was such a great experience. Again, didn't fail my expectation. Room is very clean, location can't get any better being located at dead center of Kyoto and literally 3 minute walk to the Nishiki Markets. Not to mention how close it is from the train station. The free glass of sake you can ask for at the reception is fantastic. Small tip from our visit; head out to convenience store after dinner, grab whatever you like. Come back to the hotel lobby and enjoy it with a glass of sake to finish your day. If I ever visit Kyoto again, believe me I'll be staying at Forza the third time.

The location was excellent as the hotel was situated in the middle of the shopping district and very close to Nishiki Market. Close to bus stops and train stations. Room generously sized compared to other Japanese hotel rooms. Lovely modern decor and very clean. Free sake and coffee from vending machines. Decent sized sofa for 2 people to relax in. Able to store luggage (1 large suitcase) in the room. Laundry facilities - was able to check washing machine availability online and check when wash/dry cycle completed. Luggage forwarding was easy to organise here.
