Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi

Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi

10/10 Excellent
"Loved the coffee/tea machine in the lobby and the cup of sake at night. Also pleased to have the lobby dining area to relax around in the evening with our group. Grateful for the bath crystals the hotel provided to soak in the tub too. The only negative for me was the distance to the subway was a longer walk than I would have preferred."
