Clean room, great location, smooth check-in and check-out process, friendly and helpful staff
The hotel is great and the staffs are friendly. I especially like the nice lobby where we often hung out drinking free and delicious matcha espresso and sake.
Great location that is a bus ride away from Gion. Loved the access to the underground subway walkway and daily free sake from the sake serving machine downstairs. It is great that there is a coffee machine in the lobby but the coffee is not great. Having access to washer/dryer was a plus. They worked well and you could also monitor on the availability on a webpage to know when a machine is available and when your wash is done.
The staff was prompt in their service. We were able to borrow umbrellas when needed and also an iron. Overall we loved our stay in Forza and would recommend it.
Perfect location, room was spotless, staff was awesome and so accommodating. The room had everything I needed. Great overall experience and would stay there again!
