Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi

Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi

10/10 Excellent
"Room spacious, clean, and had separate bath/shower from toilet. Front desk very attentive and courteous. Room service options very clear. Service is very thorough. Breakfast had plenty of food and beverages. Special orders limited to number of room occupants. Staff is very attentive, polite, and keeps area clean and orderly. Daily sake on the house - ask front desk for coin 24 hr coffee or tea available Subway connection and front door taxi or uber availability. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Near Nishiki market and Geisha district. Pokémon and Nintendo stores in walking distance. Overwhelmingly surrounded by high end boutique and factory stores (Rolex immediately next door). Side walk covered, well lit, and plays music. Beat our expectations "
