Kyoto Hotel Guide - Shogunzuka Mound hotels in Kyoto, Japan.

"The availability of a shower/bath, where the shower WAS the floor of the room, gave us a sense of enormous freedom and sensibility. We are building this concept into our new home construction The separate water closet meant more of us were served at one time - fantastic Hotel Forza is highly regarded by the neighbors in this upstanding and 100% walkable area of Kyoto A mighty hotel, excellent staff, terrific breakfasts, amid all kinds of wonderful coffee shops, restaurants, temples right down the street, the most interesting small side streets 50 feet from Hotel Forza, what is not to like And safe, like I remember Japan from my last visit in 1985. My son is going to University here in two years, for a year abroad. What a fantastic introduction We forgot my phone at the auto ticketing area at the Kyoto train station, went back 20 minutes later, asked, and were directed to an area that had it."

"No complaints "

"The room was equipped with all little necessities the traveller might need- hairbrush, toothbrush toothpaste slippers and more. The hotel is centrally located in the mid of the liveliest Kyoto area on top of Takase canal lined with beautiful Sakura trees. The Blue bottle cafe downstairs has the best coffee and the Master’s Dream house restaurant has the best beer. Walking distance to Maruyama park and Kyoto Takashimaya shopping mall. Amazing stay!"

"The rooms were very nice and the beds were heavenly!! The breakfast was okay, but overall the hotel was a wonderful stay in a great location!"

"Exceptional location (truly, the best area to be if you want to feel the charm and beauty of Kyoto)), incredibly warm and attentive staff, excellent breakfast. Rooms are not very fancy, but they are comfortable and spotless and showers are excellent. We would absolutely stay there again and highly recommend. "

"Hotel is in a great central location! Close by to Pontocho, Gion and train station. The canal next to the hotel was so beautiful with cherry blossoms and willow trees. Comfy beds and cozy rooms. The breakfast buffet was good also. Note that the hotel's restaurant closes by 3 pm. Would definitely recommend this hotel!"

"This is a very special hotel. It’s walking distance to Heian shrine. Lots of good hiking spots near by. The food selection is a little sparse, but there are some good spots near by. The room was very large and we got a view of a cherry tree from our room. Joshua from the staff was very nice and set us up for a great trip."

"Everything was great. I have not had croissants in the morning. They didn’t have."

"To be honest, our first room was quite terrible. It was old and dirty. The floors looked so gross I didn’t even want to put my bare feet on them. So why the good ratings? Well, after contacting Expedia to see about cancelling my reservation so I could move to a completely different hotel, the on duty manager offered to move me to another room. That room was significantly better - it was on a floor that had been renovated just a few years ago. I don’t know if they reserve this floor for higher priced reservations, but I was told it was an “equivalent room”. But it was so much better, I couldn’t be happier. So my tip would be, if you’re assigned the 15th floor, ask for something different… 16th floor if you can get it."
