We had a great stay at Hotel Forza. The rooms were clean and the bathroom was spacious. I loved the shower and bathtub combo. We enjoyed the drink machine with coffee and matcha options. I appreciated the evening free sake was a nice touch. You just asked the front desk for a coin. The front desk was very helpful. They helped with getting a taxi, making dinner reservations and much more. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would come back.

This hotel was in an amazing location! It is super clean and the staff is very friendly. However, the beds are extremely hard and uncomfortable. That’s why I gave comfort a 4 star.

I have stayed at several Hotel Forzas across Japan and it always meets my expectations and delivers the same features & services. However, I have 2 gripes about this Hotel Forza property. Hotel lobby is on B1F and you always have to take the escalator down 1 floor from Ground to take one of two elevators to your room. There is a third elevator but that only takes you to Ground Floor. The complimentary 3-in-1 lotion only has grapefruit fragance and is not effective. Minor grievances, great hotel chain.
