Sotetsu Karasuma hotels

"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."

"This was our second time visiting this Ace Hotel location and once again, it did not disappoint! Very clean, stylish, and easy to find. It feels exclusive without the pretentious airs. I hope to come back very soon!"

"Great location and service. Staff is friendly and attentive. Breakfast is outstanding. Highly recommended it."

"Excellent hotel and staff. When I come back to I will stay with this same hotel chain."

"Exceptional hotel room with spotless bathroom. Extra room to relax and enjoy Kyoto. Breakfast was lovely with a lot of options for everyone. The bar was beautiful and well stocked. I had my luggage sent forward to my next stay at a Hilton In Tokyo and it was worth every penny. "
